Six years in the making at Huddle, Roy and Annie are spearheading Huddle Foundation, a nexus of design, philanthropy and social enterprise, where meaningful work and doing good all take a step out of the corporate world and explore even bigger and broader horizons. Melis explores a notion about “slow design” (think of slow food) and how it may represent a great stance and approach to take when helping communities. Also, Melis listens to a book (how does one listen to a book?)and spends some time jumbling things up; Roy declares that “fun-ness (q.v.) can be seriousness” and Annie asks what word we might use that includes all life, not just humanity, when we're thinking about our future. Links and acknowledgements: Mel mentions “Big Magic”, an audiobook by Elizabeth Gilbert. Roy contemplates Rebecca Onie’s “Health Leads” TED Talk. Annie is plunging into “The Artist’s Way” by Julia Cameron for a 12 week challenge with Melis to “become you”. Thanks to Caitlyn for this week’s mystery question! Also, keep an eye out for Huddle’s new publication “Authentic”, a collection of stories from women of all ages around the world.
