🍂💦Might be too hot today to write about hot springs (termas). This September we are organizing a coliving event in a geotermal hotsprings hotel in the middle of nature. But you might remember that I often talk how hotels cannot be colivings because there are not enough hotel spaces that could naturally attract a group at the same spot. Constantly. Instead we will need to create a bunch of small but attractive activities which are going to bring out colivers from their rooms. But it’s important that these activities are so good so they cannot feel like they are being pushed into (going to the hotspring pools everyday is one of them). That’s why we will treat it as one big experiment. And I am very excited about it. I have already started to prepare small activities and if anyone of you (coliving founders, community managers, people interested in running coliving events) wants to come, we will have a plenty of time to enjoy long conversations and experiment together. There are 3 spots left. 👇

I have known and worked with Haz Memon for more than 4 years now, and I still learn from him regularly! It was great to take a full hour to talk about his journey in the coliving industry. Haz shares his path from tourism studies and digital nomadism to building successful coliving spaces in Switzerland and Greece under the ESCAPE brand with his partner. He offers insights into community building, starting from scratch (8 years ago!) and the importance of delegating (and accepting that you are replaceable 😱 ) if you want to scale. Check out the full episode via the link in the comments. #coliving #community #digitalnomads #scaling

#travel_lessons Here are the concise life lessons from my experience at the Golden Temple: 1. Collective Contribution: No task is too difficult when everyone pitches in, showcasing the power of community. 2. Order Amid Crowds: Large gatherings can be peaceful with mutual respect, proving that cooperation maintains harmony. 3. Self-Discipline: True discipline is self-driven, highlighting the importance of personal responsibility in fostering a respectful environment. 4. Efficient Experiences: A big temple doesn’t always mean long waits; effective organization can lead to fulfilling visits without delays.

Imagine a camping festival with a power grid and high-speed internet access; a temporary village of geeks, crafters, and technology enthusiasts that’s lit up by night, and buzzing with activity during the day. Thousands of curious people will descend on our friendly open space to learn, share, and talk about what they love. ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD LTD will be held on 30 May–2 June 2024 at Eastnor Castle Deer Park, Eastnor. A key aspect of the event is villages. Self-organised sessions/areas where hackers come together with a common interest or project. The Irish Embassy is a loose collective of people with some connection to / interest in Ireland, who travel to hacker/maker events and pool resources to create shared spaces while there. https://lnkd.in/e2Er4q7W Check out some of the activities that our members and other people are involved in the village. Introduction to Lockpicking and the Ethics of Lockpicking This is a workshop offered by Isabella (she/they) designed for people just starting lockpicking or interested, and will teach people the different types, tools and ethics. https://lnkd.in/ey2wDgXk Build Your Own Satellite Ground Station This is a workshop offered by Jeffrey Roe (he/him), hands-on, beginner-friendly, where you’ll build and program your TinyGS ground station and antenna to receive data from space.

Bring-Your-Own mending, or stop by for information on how to get started, or even create your own patches. This will be run in the Irish Embassy, and is an informal, not main-schedule, kind of event. Tech Trivia Table (T)Quiz This is an event that has garnered some confusion. Come by to find out what the Irish Embassy means by ‘table quiz’. One, it’s not in the pub. It will be in Workshop 5, Saturday night, 8-10pm/20:00-22:00. (Please arrive no earlier than 7:45pm/19:45.)
