Stoa Digest #52: 🦁Stoa weekend but in real life !

digest.stoa.com

Last weekend we hosted an IRL Residency down in Bangalore with a few strangers, a few teammates and a couple of familiar faces.

While we have run a few IRL meetups previously, this was our first jab at designing a learning and community experience in person, over two nights.

We dabbled with concepts around MECE, Storyboarding, and understanding Markets & Economics. We also practised some Tough Love, danced and played with Improv, tagged each other with frisbees and closed the weekend with a Case.

Seeing 30 odd members come together, and co-create something magical, amidst the organised chaos was a reminder of what the entire community has been about.

To learn, grow and bond.

Sharing the vulnerability to learn together is not easy. Yet, here we are! A whopping 700+ community.

And we are quite excited about bringing this experience to more members of the Stoa family over the next few months.

Ps: here’s a longer peek at what went down
