HIP Newsletter - Issue 0005

Welcome to Issue 0005

Hi, this is Matt, not Joel. I'm the President of the Heroic Imagination Project and wanted to thank you for being part of HIP. Restarting our weekly emails is part of our mission to connect with everyone around the world wanting to be part of the hero training movement. We do, however, think the best way to connect is in person. In April, we held a HIP Summit in Italy where HIPsters (let me know how you feel about this term) came together to share their work and connect with each other. It was a huge success on a small scale. Next month, we're running a Hero Round Table, which is a larger scale opportunity to meet up with like-minded people. There's nothing like spending a couple of days with people who think like you, challenge you, and enjoy you. That's what the Hero Round Table is designed to do. You can find out more information about the hows and whys at heroroundtable.com, but we'll be holding a few in the next six months - maybe one near you.

Hartland, Michigan - October 28 & 29Yarram, Australia - November 19 & 20San Francisco, USA - March (we're still finalising the actual days, but it will be in the week of the 13th to 19th)

Join us and make connections with people from all over the world.

"He was all alone. The boat was broken. I knew how to fix it, so I told him I'd fix it for him." This article shows the kindness that can be found in strangers during a time of need. A sailor whose boat was falling apart found help in a local community. Link Here

Thanks for getting this far down the email. Matt again. In the last 18 months, a new board of directors has been pushing HIP further than it's ever been pushed and we're excited to be working with groups across the globe in venues large and small. Get in touch if you have an idea, or want some hero training, or want to just chat. We're here to connect with others and spread heroism.
