- ONE-LINER: 1-2 sentences. Tip: A question followed by a statement is one great way to introduce a salon topic. a common format has "Join name[link] <context on why this person is relevant> to explore this" at the end. The title often also has the host's name in it
- What creates a sense of We, and what gets in the way? When do you feel really good surrendering to the collective will of a group? Join trust researcher Malcolm Ocean to explore the nuances of what creates openness to larger wholes—in general, and for you personally.
- SALON DESCRIPTION: In this section, describe the specifics of what your salon will be about and why attendees will be interested. At the end of this section, we recommend including some bullets of questions / subjects you plan on discussing.
- It's been widely observed that it feels good to be part of something larger, and yet... some somethings-larger will exploit you if you join them, whether that's a company or an activist movement or a cult, or even just a personal relationship. How do you go about discerning whether serving a whole will empower it to serve you in return, or whether it will suck your energy and leave you drained? Or some weird mix.
- Not "how should you"—how do you actually, in practice, in your own life? Descriptively. And how does that work?
- Questions / topics:
- When have you tried to surrender to a larger whole and ended up getting burned? Were you totally surprised or did part of you say "I told you so"? If the latter, what had you not listen to that part?
- When have you felt pressure to surrender to a larger whole, and you chose not to?
- When have you had experiences of feeling fully aligned with a team or romance or project, such that serving its will felt so easeful and obvious, and you felt yourself held?
- How does this all relate to parenting and family?
- How does any of this relate to spirituality & religion?

- biz/project trust-dancing
- readings:
- 7 takes on love (as analogy)
- maybe some meta-team something?
- maybe some general NNTD thing?
- showtime / exam party
- Let's write for each other and publish it. Here's the game:
- Bring a few blurbs of ideas you could write up (max 1 tweet or graphic in length). Based on those (and maybe pre-existing familiarity with your work) I'll tell you what I want to read about. Then you for me.
- Then we each write it up with the other person as audience, as best we can in the time allotted. If you book a 30min block, this might be a bullet-point summary—these can be great!
- At the end, whatever each of us has written either gets:
- 1. published to blog/site
- 2. emailed to a few people either of us choose (this option costs the writer $30)

- giving blindspot feedback / gentle groping the elephent in the room
- mating dances
- I'm actually very stoked about this one
- < most of my recent and/or upcoming blog posts >
- huh literally I could make a salon where the reading is the ICTFM draft and then people reflect on examples and give me feedback
- that sounds fucking dope
- how often could I be giving salons?
- and why does that feel way more viable than just doing paid events on my own?
- legibility is a sneaky mofo
- also I guess they have a bunch of regulars, and they'll help promote it
- not-wanting-to-be-alone, also a sneaky mofo
- I haven't done a totally new project on my own in awhile, I feel
- like just organized a thing and said "it's happening"
- hmm
- I think people do like 4-week serieses maybe too, which could be a thing
