Topics to consider:

  • The magic and science of dissonance and harmony.
    • Bards, Ashiqs, Troubadours, ancient, modern, legendary, and fictional: they have a place in our collective psyche. What is that place? Why is it important?
  • Order and anarchy: Kropotkin, Paul Goodman, Emma Goldman
    • What would our world look like with different choices?
  • About inspiration and life’s small triumphs.
    • Mutual aid, interdependent systems, what makes a world liveable?
  • Take us to distant places beyond the edge of the world.
    • What is the definition of utopia? Dystopia?
  • Tell us about mystery and dark places.
    • Dreams, inspiration, the journey to wholeness.
  • About descent and emergence.
    • Heroes, Heroines, Fools, Antiheroes, and Villians all make the journey of descent and emergence. Tell us about journeys and quests. Good, evil, and indifference.
