Comments on: Building Seattle’s Innovation Engine – Be Part of the Story! http://www.cognitivepolicyworks.com/2010/02/04/building-seattles-innovation-engine-be-part-of-the-story/ Politics for Real People Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:37:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Joe Brewer http://www.cognitivepolicyworks.com/2010/02/04/building-seattles-innovation-engine-be-part-of-the-story/#comment-562 Joe Brewer Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:57:27 +0000 http://www.cognitivepolicyworks.com/?p=1723#comment-562 Hi Diana, I hope that we can extend our initial phase of work to encompass the larger bioregion around Puget Sound (and, where appropriate, throughout the Pacific Northwest). Initially we're focusing on the cultural cohesion in Seattle's creative scene, but we have larger ambitions to do something along the lines of what you're suggesting. If you have ideas regarding how to collaborate, I'd <i>love</i> to hear them! Best, Joe Hi Diana,

There is lots bubbling on Vanouver Island and in Vancouver and other parts of BC that are so aligned...can we span the human boundaries we have created that separate us??

I've been in so many conversations recently that have also touched on that pulse of "the time is ripe" here (and "so let's hurry up already"). Many of my colleagues and I come from the health and wellness perspective - and of course the work of restoration and sustainability and social system innovation are essential to the health of the human community; our interior and environmental and social ecologies are inseparable. How do folks who aren't already part of this web that's growing get involved? warm regards, Christy Lee-Engel, ND, LAc Bastyr University Dear Joe – this is wonderfully exciting!

How do folks who aren't already part of this web that's growing get involved?
