Perspectives asks whether serendipity can be designed — building the connective infrastructure that lets participation scale across hundreds of gatherings without losing the intimacy that made the first ones work.

(participation infrastructure)
(gathering network)
(facilitation toolkit)

A social network built around conversation — 1,000+ people across 250+ curated gatherings. If the thesis is visible, legible, and participatory, Perspectives is the participatory half made concrete: the same instinct as the energy work — surface the connections a system hides — pointed at people instead of the grid.
