A great link you posted @Birdie. I forwarded to a good friend of mine. Thanks.

The concept of ‘Flourishing’ is getting more and more attention. Everyone gives their own twist to this idea. For [innercircles](https://innercircles.community) - a side-project I am working on - we have adopted a tagline of **_“Creating Solutions For Human Flourishing”_**. So what does that mean, and how do we approach that?

First of all in innercircles we are mainly interested in **practical solutions**. That means:

1. **Applied methodologies**
2. **Supportive technologies**

Obviously we need lots of help to materialize both of these. Improving methods and technology will be a continual process of innercircles. To shape this effort we’ll create a program or activity track, called: _The Flourishment Initiative_.

> **Objective** : Make _Flourishing_ actionable and readily applicable in practical solutions.

The initiative will involve three main activities:

### 1. Teaming up, partnering, forging collaborations

Create a multi-disciplinary group of open-minded creatives that do not shy away from radical new ideas.

### 2. Research and elaboration of the field

Evolve a holistic knowledge base that investigates all the angles and approaches to Flourishing.

### 3. Building a comprehensive framework

Design for applicability targeting both non-technical methodology as well as adoption in tech solutions.

I am looking at this together with @ibaldo. Anyone else interested to join can respond to this thread and briefly explain their interest and background related to the initiative.
