DIY Immersion
Phase 2: Presence and Connection.
Minimum time needed: 1 hour
As always: Its possible you’ll go deeper,
for that you decide how long to dedicate,
but at least give yourself 1 hr...
A Ritual to begin…
// Step 1: Find a quiet space.
Optional: Find a candle and lighter, and bring that with you to your quiet space.
// Step 2: Take ten slow deep breaths.
Feel how each breath softens your body.
// Step 3: Set an intention for this time. If you have a candle, light it as you say your intention.
If you’d like a suggestion.. consider committing to enter a space of presence, self love, no judgement and play.
First things first.
So within, so without.

GO OUTSIDE AND PUT YOUR FEET ON THE EARTH
Take 5 minutes minimum. Find any patch of earth outside.
Take off your shoes and put your feet on the earth.

REFLECT
BE INTENTIONAL
What does being intentional mean to you?
What does being intentional in the studio mean to you?
How can you design this time for YOUR creativity?
Find a space to ground, slow down and put on some headphones.
Listen to this guided meditation from our friend Tiare Ribeaux

Make your creative Space!!!
Now we KNOW that you are all different kinds of creatives!
This is an INVITATION to take time to CRAFT your creative space
How does that resonate for you?
What does that look like to you?
If you are on the move, make yourself a portable altar of a few little things that inspire you to lean into your creative spirit.
If you are in your home, make a little cove your space.
Where ever you are.. the invitation is to make your creativity sacred, whatever that means to you.

MAKE A VIDEO!
We want to continue this process of getting to know each other, so we have a challenge for you that has been successful in the past and that has brought us great joy: the recording of a collective introduction video!
We know, we know, some of you are shy. However, think about it as a way to begin creating coherence, of alchemizing our voices, of getting our ideas to start making love with each other.
If you are in, record it with your phone or camera in horizontal format, and save the file using your full name (ex: roxishohadaee_DSDvideo.mp4). You have till the 2nd of September to complete your upload.
Choose 2 or 3 of these prompts and try to answer them in under two minutes:
1. Your name and the city you’re based in! (15 secs)
2. What is your favorite Visionary idea and why? (45 secs)
(Curious about Buckminster Fuller? Check out ‘About Fuller’)
3. What’s your regenerative superpower in 2030? (30 secs)
Example: "In 2030 my regenerative superpower is growing 80% of my own food and starting a community garden to share with 50 of my neighbors"
4. Choose or create an unusual word that is a great concept or idea and provide an explanation! (45 secs)
5. If you were tasked to come up with a secret salut/sign for the Design Science Studio crew, what would it be? (30secs)

POD FORMATION!
Pod formation time is here! We know you've been patiently waiting. Thank you :) This is not too complicated. Three steps:
1. Fill out this form with as much info as you can.
2. Your answers will populate this view. (We suggest waiting a few days to come back to this until most of you have filled out the form).
3. Check what the other (r)Evolutionaries are about and spot who you would like to collaborate or jam with! Once you have a good idea, let us know here.
General Notes:
Any password you might be asked will always be: "Revolutionary"
While we can't promise that everyone will be matched with their preferred collaborators, we will certainly try! At the same time, our main goal is to establish diverse groups that contain complementary skillsets!
Ritual Closing
Once you have completed your creative exploration,
Come back to center.
Come back to silence.
Come back to your breath. Place one hand on your heart, place another hand somewhere else on your body that needs love.
Thank yourself for this gift you have given yourself of time to lean in.
If you have a candle burning thank the fires of transmutation as you blow it out in gratitude.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
