Humanity 2.0 -a go!

Well, we've finally decided (largely due to some welcome external energy and enthusiasm) to give the green light to the Humanity 2.0 workshop on Orcas. Though I started with excitement, the surprising lack of initial response and registrations took me somewhat by surprise. Though "I love the idea." "Yeah, it sounds great!" were frequently heard, it unfortunately seems that the people I was talking to weren't as into the retreat part of it --the time and financial commitment of heading out to Orcas that is. "Do it in Seattle, and I'm there!" Cheapskates! (: If this goes as well as planned, Seattle will happen as well, but first we're sticking with this Orcas Retreat and I think its going to be great.

I am particularly thankful to three people.
1)My wife Anna for dealing with my ups and downs and encouraging me that whether we have 3 or 30 people, the experience and learnings involved are still worth it.

2)My partner in crime for this workshop, Jay Kimball of 8020vision.com --for he also had to listen to me process a lot, provided some great feedback, and did some really great work in promoting the workshop in various ways.

3)Nancy White, who I haven't yet met (though I look forward to it), but who found out about H20 through another friend's blog (Stuart Maxwell's meetatthepig.com) She encouraged me with her enthusiasm about the topic ("Oh, there are more people like me out there --thanks I knew it!") and looks like will be responsible for getting another half a dozen people to the workshop.

Thanks to each of you, and to others who helped get the word out. Now, to the details!
