Victoria's Facilitation

"And just to make everyone comfortable, I have a copy of this State of the Board. So, if everything is messed… It doesn't matter."

This created psychological safety for experimentation.

Key Additions

Throughout the call, participants added:

Gil Friend - etymology of curiosity connecting to care
Scott Moehring - "multi-perspectival humbleness"
Eve Blossom - sense of place (added by Victoria on Eve's behalf)
Various concepts, questions, and connections

Victoria's Visual Thinking Emphasis

"Let's use for exploring rather than answering. Let's open as many questions as possible. So if instead of saying, 'education closes curiosity,' we state it as a question: 'Does education close?' Then we will have more things to work with."

This embodied the principle of keeping inquiry open.

Visual Thinking Connection

Gabriele G met Victoria through a visual thinking workshop, suggesting the broader community around these practices.

Benefits for Curiosity

Enables non-linear thinking
Shows connections visually
Allows simultaneous contribution
