Influences and Incidental Contributions:

I was prompted to curate these Resources for Customising Intentional Relationships by the appreciation shown for the Salon on Intentional Friendships I helped to facilitate at the Embassy Network's Berlin Konsulat in 2018.

Prior to this, and since, my approaches to relationships have been influenced by the various intentional communities I have been welcomed into. In addition, I've had the pleasure of co-creating relationships with multiple individuals each of whom contributed to my capacity for meta-communication practices such as identifying and discussing relationship elements and related concepts. I hope these influences are recognisable and that those responsible will help me appropriately acknowledge their contributions as this resource develops further.

There is also more than a decades-worth of resources I've learned from, so if you recognise your influence & I've not attributed your work appropriately within this project, please let me know. The following are examples of influences (in addition to those ways that are referenced throughout each resource set):

There are also many relevant resources I expect to be relevant but am yet to read. Examples include:

In addition, there are always going to be resources that may be relevant to others that aren't of interest to me, or that I choose not to engage with, for whatever reason. Some examples include:

Finally,given the politics of personal relationships my influences extend far beyond the contexts of discussing relationships. Once again, I am integrating these into the resources directly and hope that those responsible for any unattributed content will contact me if they'd like to be mentioned by name.

Meta-Communication Tools

There are many different meta-communication practices for clarifying shared understandings about the content, form, and frequency of communication that each person can reasonably expect from another within a given context.
