This Saturday, Sarah John will be hosting a day of interbeing discovery. I don't know what it's going to be (nobody does), but I do know that Sarah is an excellent facilitator.

If you're in Antwerp on Saturday, and you're interested in relational being and the in-between, come join!

Here's the description:

A flock of birds is not a collection of individuals. It is a living field.

We are not self-contained. We come into being in relation. What we can perceive, feel and create depends profoundly on who we are with and how present we are to each other.

We know this. And yet we live in a time that tells us the individual is the unit of everything. We have become very good at working alone, thinking alone, creating alone. The challenges that matter most cannot be met this way. They need a different kind of intelligence. One that lives between us, not just inside us.

Murmurations is a day to practise that intelligence. Together we will move, speak, reflect and play - experimenting with what becomes possible when we let go of the limit of individuality and start genuinely moving together. We will work with physical practices, such as flocking and one brain. The day is informed by thinkers and doers from philosophy, mysticism and science who have explored the nature of the space between us and what potentials it holds.

This is a laboratory. What emerges will be shaped by where we are willing to go together.

Makers, teachers, thinkers, creators, doers & dreamers all welcome.
No previous experience needed. Just curiosity.

Saturday 20 June · 10:00–18:00 · De Veerman: Marialei 25, Berchem, Antwerp

PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN: €60 / €70 / €90

Those who misunderstand #Fediverse are likely also liable to confuse #Murmurations (as in, Starlings) and #Swarms (eg, Piranha). Jeez, how could the defensive mechanism ever turn on me?...

Behind the scenes at EuPN:

We’ve been integrating Murmurations into the platform.

That means regenerative projects can become interoperable across networks.

Shared data. Portable profiles. Less fragmentation.

This work is not flashy. But resilient systems are built quietly.

#Murmurations are more than a hypnotic sight. Chemist Joakim Stenhammer via Glänta on intriguing parallels between decentralized organization in #nature and human brain activity. www.eurozine.com/on-starlings...

On starlings and the thermodyn...
On starlings and the thermodynamics of life

Starling murmurations are more than a hypnotic sight. Studies of their decentralized organization provide insights into life’s equilibrium between order and chaos. Thermodynamics seen through a chemist’s lens suggests intriguing parallels to human brain activity and herd mentality.

Just had a random thought about building a decentralised online library using the #Murmurations protocol.

Many authors make e-versions of their books available for reading or download on their website, like David Holmgren's RetroSuburbia;

https://retrosuburbia.com/

What if they could put a simple JSON file on that website, containing info about the book and where to find it, using a standard format. Then anyone could build a catalogue website to make them more discoverable.

• THE BRAIN is less like a machine than it is like the murmurations of a flock of starlings or an orchestral symphony (or the Fediverse?)

The brain is an "interactionally complex system where functions emerge from distributed, overlapping networks of regions rather than being localised to specific areas. The interplay of constituent parts generates properties that defy reductive analysis."

Isn't this superb! Robson is President of the Ecological Society at Brighton University uniofbrighton.bsky.social It's always wonderful to see Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) #murmurations off the Brighton Pier. #Brighton #Wildlife #Biodiversity #Nature #Hove #brightonwildlife
