Enriching our current activities to nurture spark and intent for contribution, we are today launching emersense.ning – a new virtual space to support the journeys, ideas and connections of value-creators across the world. Creating new opportunities for individuals and communities to cultivate their dreams and enact their ideas, emersense.ning offers:

• Personal Space: Individual profiles and pages to integrate blogs, discussions, impressions, events, updates and many other customized applications.
• Common Space: Groups, forums and communities to exchange thoughts, collaborate on ideas, share reflections and build new connections within the virtual community.
• Opportunities & Impressions: Latest news and full coverage of diverse initiatives within emersense, constant information on possibilities to engage and participate.
• Knowledge & Inspiration: Access to learning materials and outputs of previous activities, contact points for open questions, and a shoebox filled with inspiration.

emersense.ning starts small, yet is ready to evolve. As emersense is growing, so will this virtual space. New features will be added, new opportunities be created – to leverage what is done and enable what can be done.

emersense.ning is ready… you are invited.

“emersense is an evolving social venture – a space for initiatives and visions to become reality… some of them started years ago, some others are just starting now as different friends of emersense are showing interest and committing themselves to grow trees out of the seeds of their dreams.

Our questions to you: How do you see your connection to emersense? Do you see emersense as a space for bringing your passion into reality? As a platform upon which you would like to engage with others? Do you want to co-create emersense as this space for social actions and ventures? Do you want to develop your own emersense venture?”

This is a perspective from emerging sense – a community that regularly brings together diverse value creators and enables the open exchange of their thoughts, ideas and reflections. If you are interested in finding out more about this community please contact us at info@emersense.org.
