event planning

Is it possible to 'focus circle' the current state of the world? When I went through the Level Up program at Relateful.com and facilitated what was then called 'Focus or Birthday Circles', it was sometimes suggested that I as the facilitator could be the object of the meditation, instead of focusing on someone else. I never chose to do this and have no idea what that experience is like. But it got me curious recently... is it possible to have a person stand in as 'the current state of the world'? Could we have the focus be on this person as a way to get to know what it's like to be the state of the world and be with it?

Some folks in NYC turned an apartment into a community space in a way that sounds (at least on the face of it) pretty delightful: https://supernuclear.substack.com/p/case-study-merlins-place

Makes me wonder about doing something like that in my home – but then i find myself getting antsy. I like having a haven of quiet mineness – might even need it.

But also, when I read that post, something comes alive in me. It feels really exciting to imagine being a part of a community/space like this. Having a village sounds really nice (at least when I romanticize it and ignore the fact that there's a reason for the phrase "village idiot").

(meta: this post is also an effort to see if I can make this place feel like that. Feels like it needs to be able to include this kind of half-baked personal missive in addition to "bridgy" expertise and conversations about civilizational well-being. Technically, it can, of course. But spiritually? I'm not sure. I mean, it might just be that I don't particularly gravitate towards being part of a mostly textual virtual space. :shrug:)  

... should we try live uptrusting through the vice presidential debate?
