Enspiral Newsletter: December 2023
What's alive in the world of meaningful work.
Kia ora koutou katoa, greetings & welcome all to another edition of the Enspiral newsletter - the last one in 2023!
Network Updates
Last chance to get your tickets for Enspiral Summerfest in NZ - the twentieth edition of the core heartbeat of our network.
We’re excited to release limited-edition, hand-printed zines – our first edition “How We Organise Summerfest” playbooks, built on decades of strategic & transformational retreat and unconference practice.
PS. We’ll also have some stickers available for sale after Summerfest, and possibly shirts as well (reach out if you know a good print-on-demand provider!)
It’s Cobudget Time!
The long anticipated round of collaborative funding is coming back to Enspiral. We’ll have 20k NZD to distribute between buckets (projects) proposed by anyone inside the network. Very exciting times!

Card
This card, inviting to play one of money games, feels appropriate since it’s Cobudget Time:
Put all the cash on the table and anyone can propose any distribution they see fit. When a proposal is made, anyone can object and anyone can propose a different distribution. The process keeps on going until everyone agrees to a proposed distribution.
What money games do you know? We’d love to hear from you.
And since that’s the last newsletter in this year - we wish you a delightful 2024!
