Some communities keep a dog. We are raising an agent.

Sorrel is the camp’s agent: a working name for something we are building, and would like you to help finish.

{/* ─── THE NAME, AND WHAT IT IS ─────────────────────────────────────── */}
Sorrel
Working name

Redwood sorrel carpets the forest floor at Navarro. In direct sun it folds its three leaflets shut; in shade it opens again. We wanted that instinct in an agent, so we borrowed the name.

We have woven Sorrel through the physical experience of our camp. It holds the memory of the week: who is here, what is happening, which conversations are live, which connections have been declared, and what emerged at 7am while you were asleep in a ShiftPod.

It works on consent. It knows only what you choose to tell it. It helps you orient, remember, connect and follow through, and it leaves every judgment that matters to you.

That makes us a live prototype of the thing we are discussing: a consent-based, agent-supported gathering, tested at human scale in a forest.

{SORREL_CARDS.map(([h, b]) => (
{h}

{b}

))}
{/* ─── ACROSS THE JOURNEY ───────────────────────────────────────────── */}
{/* Christine: "if we could weave the AI digital experience into the physical in a way that's harmonious and helpful to the goal." */} A week is three different problems. So is the agent. Across the journey {SORREL_JOURNEY.map(([h, b]) => (
{h}

{b}

))}
{/* ─── WHAT IS NOT DECIDED ──────────────────────────────────────────── */}
Six things about Sorrel we have not decided.

Sorrel is not finished, and finishing it is not our job alone — this is the part we are most directly inviting you into. You and everyone else who comes will set its language, personality, behaviors and boundaries during the week. These are genuinely open:

{SORREL_UNDECIDED.map(([h, b]) => (
{h}
{b}
))} {/* Christine: "this could be the start of the agent-to-agent, inter-organisational communication piece." Victor: "definitely." */}
And one experiment we are curious about

Several of us will arrive with agents of our own. Where their people consent, we would like to run the first small trials of agents from different organizations talking to each other on their behalf — introductions, matching needs to offers, carrying a commitment between two teams. This is early, unglamorous and may not work. We will say so either way.

Consent, privacy and attention

We make recording explicitly opt-in and visible. You can join us fully without using Sorrel at all. You can review, edit, export and delete your own material. You choose what stays private, what we as hosts see, what the rest of the camp sees, and what becomes public.

Sorrel is available when useful and quiet when it is not. Sometimes the best interface is a recorder on a table or a single physical display, rather than an app pecking at everyone’s pockets in a forest.

An agent can remind us of the promise. The promise is still ours to make. {/* not CAMP_CTA: "help raise Sorrel" is the truthful description of what signing up gets you on this page in particular. */}
