The energy and passion of face-to face events soon dwindle after the event if online conversations are not encouraged to continue. The huge potential of communities created at these events - to do something sustainable together in the world and also to support and enrich the lives of the individual participants and the community of communities that is hosted by Evolutionary Nexus - can come closer to realisation if we think about the 'afterlife' already before the event.

Ideally, we would have that kind of conversation live or, at least in real time on skype, but my schedule is extremely busy till the 19th, when I will leave for the Shambhala retreat. No time to organize calls. If somebody else would do it, I'd try to participate.

Or, we could also post the relevant pages' URL in online conversations, when we sense that specific thought/life energies from Finn, captured in digital format, can travel to people and places, where they can contribute to the life-affirming forces at play.
