There will likely be a few phases of this process, including initial brainstorming, reviewing and combining the results, and offering a proposed name or names to the collective to make a decision.
At this point, we want to hear ideas, from inside and outside pen pals, about what this collective means to you. These ideas can be fully formed ideas for names, but they can also be phrases, or single words. The words can include verbs for what we do, feelings we want to create, politics we want to live into, people we want to engage, relationships we want to nourish, moods, emotions, and approaches we want to embody, or anything else you can think of!
Outside pen pals, please submit any and all ideas you have, and please share this prompt with your inside pen pals. Once you hear back, submit those responses here as well. We hope to gather ideas over the next month or two, so we can review them in the new year. Thanks everyone for your participation!
