  • The Relationship Anarchy Smorgasbord [Network Call]

    In this month's Network Call, Lotti Neubert and Jocelyn Ames hosted an exploration of the Relationship Anarchy Smorgasbord - a relational tool for deepening connections. Let's say it's a helpful conversation starter to get you talking about what you really want, expect and desire to experience with someone.

    Listen in as we talk about clarifying and navigating conflicts of interest, and our experiences of bringing structured approaches into relationship-building.

    Could this be a relationship mapping tool that supports your important relationships? How would you use it?

  • Belonging and Chaos - Reflections on Borderland 2024 with Rich and Synes

    đź”— The Membership Lottery for Borderland 2025 is open until February 25! More information here: https://talk.theborderland.se/main/


    In this episode, we discuss our experiences at Borderland 2024, exploring how Microsolidarity—the art of building trust in small groups—might transform large, self-organizing festivals.


    We reflect on the challenges of navigating such a sprawling, decentralized event: the disorientation that comes from not having a clear "home base" for a week, the struggle of balancing personal agency with surrender, and the surprising cultural tensions that arise when diverse preferences meet dominant aesthetics.


    We also sniff out ideas for creating intentional micro-structures—small groups, purpose-driven camps, and better onboarding processes—that can turn potentially overwhelming experiences into connective ones.


    Is it possible to craft spaces that feel like home within the chaos? Can we design better onboarding experiences for first-timers? And what does it take to truly let go and follow the flow?


    đź’¬ Let us know your thoughts and further questions in the comments below!

  • The notacoliving experiment - a 1 month community the making, w/ Kathrin David & Jocelyn Ames

    Kathrin and Jocelyn had a very mutually supportive conversation talking about the 1-month community experiment she's about to launch in southern Spain.

    Jocelyn was eager to chat with her as it sounded somewhat similar to what she's doing in the Yincubator (and is just 2hrs down the road!). It was clearly helpful and inspiring to hear about each other's approach, concepts and intentions.

  • Experiments in Co-Living (Part 2) with Abi & Jocelyn

    Jocelyn and Abi are back again for more reflections on their experiences with co-living!

    In this episode the focus is on clarifying the purpose of your co-living group, and how to go about finding or building a group that is in alignment with that vision.
    They give some great examples of different co-living experiments they've visited and been part of, and end with a reflection on what happens when expectations are not met, or clash with each other.
    Tune in for Part 3 which will be all about navigating conflict and how to 'end well' when someone wants to leave the group.
