Let’s meet!
There is a lot going on in the world. We cannot do it all. Not to mention: the times are urgent… we must slow down. That being said, we would still like you to know about some of the electrifying, worlds-worlding, side-eye-glancing, upside-down and inside-out events and occurrences that ten is hosting, supporting or uplifting. Our events are at the top for ease of access to ten’s programming.
Now at the End of Things...

Báyò Akómoláfé and David Abram, two long-time accomplices of the more-than-human world – held in spiritual embrace and generative dialogue by philosopher and theologian Alex Forrester – will sit together to ask what it might mean to plead for magic now – at the precise moment the machine’s accommodation has begun to fail on its own terms. When the algorithm devours its own predictive coherence. When the wellness industry metabolizes enchantment into its newest product line. When even the administrators of disenchantment find themselves strangely unmoored.

WHO: The Emergence Network
WHEN: Monday, November 9th to Friday, December 4th 2026
WHERE: Online everywhere (with some self-organized in-person events)
What if we approached playfulness as a blossoming of microcosmic revolutions, and laughter as a defiant, political act? We might first need to turn toward the reality that, for many of us, play has become a wound and a risk. The Playgrounds is an invitation to gather and co-create in playful inquiry. This four-week online event (with some self-organized in-person gatherings) will convene a diverse menagerie of playmates – human and more-than – to plumb the depths of the ludic with us
