Network Updates
Enspiral DAO Season 3 is about to kick off 🚀
Enspiral DAO is the intentional intersection of Enspiral DNA (self-management, social impact, collective entrepreneurship) with DAO culture and technology (blockchains, decentralisation, alternative financial systems). We are a learning and development DAO focused on personal and professional growth and also provide a remote-friendly onboarding experience to the wider Enspiral ecosystem.
In Season 3 we will be offering:
Immunity to change - what holds us back from doing the things we commit to do? In a 6-week peer-to-peer experience, we’ll test our self-stories and unlock potential.
AI for Impact course: A six-week course focused on quickly accelerating your understanding and proficiency of AI tools and practices.
4-week onboarding pod: for people new to Enspiral.
DAO tooling working group: technical group shipping code to help run the DAO
Open space: and collaboration treasure hunt for emergent offerings.
🎶
Bonus from the European Node: a co-created playlist in Spotify from our last European Gathering.
