SUMMARY:Utopia
DESCRIPTION:Join!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				  \nBroken down into a literal translation\, Utopia means “no place.” This Topia is the territory that is often labeled ‘off-limits’ by an understanding of what is possible\, based on what has been possible. It is where the imagination roams when left unbound and free from the limits of realism. Unlike the dystopic stories we question might be playing out in the real world we exist in right now\, the utopia is inherently fictional. That being said\, it can still serve a functional purpose in world-building. There is incredible power behind the unbound imaginative creative process that occurs when certain limits are removed. New pathways may be revealed for different ways of organizing ourselves into better forms of existence. If there’s any room for delusion in Topias\, let it be a hopeful delusion which allows us to believe that there is always a better way of being. Join us this week as we wonder with unbound curiosity what utopian ideals we might be able to learn from\, comparing lessons from history and literature with our current predicament. \nRecommended resources for this gathering: \nHanzi Freinacht: What’s The Difference between Utopia\, Eutopia and Protopia? \nUpstream Podcast: Everyday Utopia and Radical Imagination with Kristen Ghodsee \nDavid Fleming: Utopia from Lean Logic
