“Friends from Olympia WA will be touring the Midwest next month for their new book on collective strategic thinking. They’ll be making a stop in Chicago on Dec 12, at Flood’s Hall. Don’t miss it.” -Building the Commune

Emerging from a study group on strategy, Deceiving the Sky is a collectively-produced book, resource and study guide. While the word “strategy” can invoke hierarchy, centralization and a satellite’s-eye view of the world, we feel it is necessary to strengthen our or strategic reflexes. We believe that strategy can be a lens, an orientation to the world that understands existence as a shifting array of forces, capacities, and intentions. Deceiving the Sky is an attempt to build new language that we can share, to develop our collective capacity for strategic thinking, to become more powerful together.
