School of Play Kyoto Cohort 1 — Invitation Templates

Hi [First Name], Quick invitation. Between the 5th and the 9th of October this year, I am running the first cohort of a program I have been building for a while called the School of Play, in Kyoto. Five days, twenty people, blended executive and researcher cohort, held in a real place with a real end-of-week experience at the Nintendo Museum. The purpose is simple: give operators a rehearsal space for the futures neither the executive circuit nor academic conferences can practice, in a group that mixes senior operators with the researchers who will build the systems the operators will operate under. The academic co-director is Olaf Witkowski, President of the International Society for Artificial Life and founder of Cross Labs Kyoto. I want you in the founding cohort. Four founding-cohort seats total. Pricing is JPY 1,000,000 (~$6,450 USD) all-in for the program plus 4 nights of boutique accommodation plus all meals. A JPY 100,000 (~$645 USD) deposit reserves the seat and is credited against tuition. Deposit link: buy.stripe.com/14A6oG3OM9883Sdglwg360s If the dates or the pricing are impossible right now, tell me. If it is possible but you want to talk it through, my calendar is open, name a 20-minute window. Adrien Echo Collective LLC, 8 East 96th Street, New York, NY 10128

Hi [First Name], I am running a 5-day blended executive-and-researcher cohort in Kyoto between the 5th and the 9th of October this year. The program is called the School of Play, and my working thesis is that reflective decision-making under ambiguity, exercised inside a group that mixes senior operators with the researchers who will build the systems those operators run, is a rehearsable skill that scales. The academic co-director is Olaf Witkowski, President of the International Society for Artificial Life and founder of Cross Labs Kyoto. Twenty participants total. Ten standard seats. The daily structure alternates scenario-play sessions with critical readings and a live-facilitation exercise; Day 5 is at the Nintendo Museum. Full curriculum available if it is a fit. Standard tier: JPY 1,400,000 (~$9,030 USD) all-in for the program plus 4 nights mid-range Kyoto ryokan accommodation plus all meals. JPY 100,000 (~$645 USD) deposit reserves a seat and is credited against tuition. Deposit link: buy.stripe.com/3cIbJ0996ckk60l3yKg360t If it is a fit, book the deposit and I will send you the full pre-program packet. If you want to talk before committing, my calendar is open, name a 20-minute window. Adrien Echo Collective LLC, 8 East 96th Street, New York, NY 10128
