Supporting Cultures of Wise Innovation

Today we want to share an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the world, fully aware how many individuals and organizations are addressing arguably more immediate and dire problems (please support those too!).

We are writing to ask for your support for our fiscally-sponsored non-profit, School of Wise Innovation, so we can do our part in evolving innovation education and culture.

We could tell you here all about our impact to date and strategy for 2026 (and we’re happy to do so - here’s a high level deck for reference).

But the truth is, we are not fully clear on the next best steps. And after two years of fairly consistent action since incubating out of Center for Humane Technology, we’re sensing it’s time to slow down and process what has happened.

Our honest need is for a Winter of Integration: the crucial step that most skip.

We intend to practice what we preach these next few months by investing in the activities that will:

😌 Regenerating Ourselves | Rest, solitude, nature, clear mind, loved ones. Spending time with Sara Wolcott’s Circular Time and at Belinda Liu’s Hestia retreat center.

🍂 Harvesting the Lessons | From both the content in our courses and retreats, and the process of building a new type of school over the last two years. A wealth of insights to metabolize and share outwards.

🧭 Wayfinding | Connecting with the amazing teachers in our orbit for guidance, and going inside to vision on the next phase of the school.

🌱 Tending Relationships | Continue weaving with folks in this community and beyond, with a focus on those who have been consistently showing up.

If we want others to value these things, we need to value them ourselves.

We believe we can effectively integrate the last two years with a modest $6,000. Which like all things at School of Wise Innovation will serve as a template for how other organizations may do the same.

Your donation, no matter how small (crypto welcomed!) will directly support us in growing our capacity to design more impactful programming, serve more people, and build bridges that are ready to be built.
