Signpost
Sessions

A small cohort for people who want thoughtful conversation, practical reflection, and a steadier way to think about technology with others.

Express interest

A six-month cohort for making sense of digital life together

Signpost Sessions are small, guided cohorts for people who want a steadier way to think about technology, community, and daily life. We read a little, reflect a little, talk with each other, and build a shared language for what we are noticing.

This is not a course. There are no grades, no certificates, and no pressure to already know the right language. It is a structured space for people who want to think with others instead of figuring everything out alone.

01

SEE

Weeks 1–8 · Jan–Feb

Start by naming what people are carrying and what they are noticing in their own lives and communities.

We begin with attention. What feels heavy? What feels possible? What are people seeing where they live and work?

SENSE

Weeks 9–16 · Mar–Apr

Look for patterns, make meaning together, and build language for what we are experiencing.

This is where individual experiences start to connect. We compare notes, ask better questions, and find more useful ways to talk about what is happening.

SHOW

Weeks 17–24 · May–Jun

Turn reflection into something shareable, useful, or actionable for the people around us.

Sometimes that means writing. Sometimes it means changing a practice, naming a need, or building something small but meaningful with others.

Coming Chapter 3: SHOW What will we build together?

Small drops.
Steady practice.

The Signpost Sessions are designed for people with full lives. Some weeks you may only have time to read a prompt and send a short reply. Other weeks you may want to show up for a call or write something longer. Both count.

Tue
Prompt or artifact

An image, quote, story, or question to sit with during the week.

Wed
Follow-up

A question or resource that helps the conversation go a little deeper.

Thu
Community call

Optional. Come when you can. Listen if you want. Talk if you want.

Fri
Reflection prompt

A simple reflection to carry into the weekend.

+
Shared writing

Some weeks we publish a post or reflection that helps hold the thread across the cohort.

What we are trying to build

Start with attention,
not performance

The point is not to sound impressive. The point is to notice what is happening and say something honest about it.

Use stories and people
as anchors

Sometimes a person, a text, or a moment from history helps us see our own lives more clearly.

Multiple
entry points

Some people like to write. Some like to talk. Some mostly listen. There is more than one way to participate well.

Protect the space
as we build it

We use tools and practices that make participation feel safer, calmer, and less extractive.

Let trust build
over time

No one has to arrive fully formed. Community grows through repeated contact, not pressure.

Make room for people
to shape the experience

The cohort is guided, but not rigid. People help make the space by how they show up for each other.
