[epic] Core Beacons for 2024

[laurenwigmore]

Following on from discussions related to #814 - the next action is to create the follow-up CC101 type courses and learn pages #566, to act as other core beacons to attract and engage Life Itself members.

3 core topics were decided as being central to Life Itself:

• Conscious Coliving
• Second Renaissance
• Cultivating Being

1. Development of Learn Pages [epic] Learn Pages: Present and share better top initiatives and topics #568
2. Second Renaissance Second Renaissance Email Course (Oct 2023) #842 (new issue - no previous notes)

4. Conscious Parenting Conscious Parenting 101 (Intro Course) #1100 - Why: conscious parenting is one very concrete, very powerful area of application of "wiser" principles to day to day life. ✅2024-07-03 ❌ wontfix as won't ship in 2024
5. Ken Wilber 101 Introduction to Integral Theory #123 ✅2024-07-03 ❌ kind of wontfix. We also do have a wiki page for this now on second renaissance based on what we wrote before here https://wiki.secondrenaissance.net/wiki/Integral
6. Conscious Food Course #1101 💬2023-11-?? Initial meeting is the only action taken on this so far. No decisions or brainstorming done. ✅2024-07-03 ❌ WONTFIX for 2024 atm.
7. Social Permaculture (Nathen to advise if has capacity for this) ✅2024-07-03 ❌ WONTFIX. Not sure even what this is and Nathen in Australia atm doing other things.
8. Metacrisis ❌2024-07-03 WONTFIX. have a v basic page here https://lifeitself.org/metacrisis. Feel this is probably merged to 2R for now and won't have its own course or learn section
9. Toolkit for future 'ambassadors'/pockets of LI #1102
   wontfix +1

Lauren and Nathen agreed Learn pages should be created for all of the above (except the toolkit) following on the below diagram.

Items to consider for each:

• Planning
• Purpose and Principles
• Outcome visioning
• Who is it for?

A beacon about Ken Wilbur would be useful - see also #109 and #123 @laurenwigmore and @rufuspollock

[laurenwigmore]

I've updated this epic to reflect the discussions around all potential Beacons for this Q4 period, and I've created or linked related issues accordingly.

[laurenwigmore]

@rufuspollock I wasn't sure whether to close this or move to someday maybe, as some useful work and insight here (and maybe in the studio model) but not relevant now as tasks we will action

[rufuspollock]

@laurenwigmore are you asking for my input or informing me of your uncertainty 😉

I hear you think there is some material that we should somehow capture or digest. What parts most stand out to you?

Perhaps one approach could be worth transferring this to the forum and adding a link to a "Map of Content" with a brief summary of what is there and why it could be relevant?

[rufuspollock]

Did a massive update and refactor

• all the misc notes and content went to respective referenced issues or to https://notes.lifeitself.org/beacons
• tidied up list of beacon ideas
• updated acceptance
• updated status and phase

Now paused as we need to decide whether we do more learn pages. This is definitely one to look at again soon and "good first issue" ...
