Content Calendar

Purpose

Track major events and releases so we can promote them through our network and on social media with enough lead time — trailing for months before, then intensifying closer to the date.

Structure

Two layers:

  1. Events — specific moments in time: paper releases, programme launches, gatherings, etc. Primary focus.
  2. Content pillars — evergreen assets (published papers, guides, course materials) to draw on between events. Secondary; to be built out separately.

How to use this

  • List upcoming events below with approximate dates (exact dates not always known yet)
  • Link to the relevant initiative using wiki links: [[initiatives/foo]]
  • Tag with #event (and eventually #content-pillar for assets)
  • When planning outreach for a given week, check what's coming up in the next 1–3 months and trail it early

Q2

Q3

H2 / TBD

  • 2026 H1/H2 — Cultural Evolution White Paper release — initiatives/life-itself-research — largely drafted; date TBC
  • 2026 H2 — Second Renaissance Magazine (Mythos 2026 edition) — projects/2026-second-renaissance-mythos — the magazine: art and ideas of the Second Renaissance
  • 2026 H2 (maybe 2027) — Second Renaissance Sourcebook — separate from the magazine; not yet written, realistically may slip to 2027

Recurring / repeat runs

Possible / to confirm

  • TBC H2 — Second Renaissance gathering or festival — initiatives/2r-festival — to decide if and when this happens in 2026

Appendix

Situation

We have events and releases happening throughout the year but tend to announce them only a week or two in advance, missing the opportunity to build anticipation.

Complication

There's no single place tracking what's coming and when, so outreach is ad hoc and reactive.

Question

How do we shift to proactive, well-trailed promotion across our network and social media?

Hypothesis

A simple dated list of events, reviewed regularly, is enough to prompt early trailing. Over time, linking events to initiatives and maintaining a content pillar backlog will give us more to draw on between major moments.
