COMMUNITY IS A VERB
THIS SITE EXISTS AS A KIND OF TRELLIS IN A GARDEN, AS THE BEGINNING SUPPORTS NECESSARY TO LET THE VINES GROW TALL AND RUN DEEPLY INTO THE SOIL OF SHARED UNDERSTANDING.
THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER FOR FINDING COMMON GROUND AND CROSS-POLLINATION AS NEW AND ANCESTRAL TECHNOLOGIES RISE TO THE SURFACE.
THIS WORK, PURPOSE, AND PLAY IS BASED ON BUILDING SMALL NETWORKS OF PEOPLE AT LOCAL SCALES FOR:
+COMMUNITY
+COMMONS AMENITIES
+ARTS & EDUCATION
+CARE
+AMENDS + REPAIR
+STEWARDSHIP
+CIRCULARITY (C2C)
+CULTURAL SOVEREIGNTY
+ANCESTRAL “INNOVATION”
If a grandmother is template for power, then she is the opposite of a billionaire. Rather than isolation she is connected relationally. Rather than extraction from a perceived separate self, a grandmother pours all her knowlege/ wisdom / and resources to family because of love.
If COMMUNITIES connected across BIOREGIONS could behave like indigenous grandmothers, it would be a pattern of human agency that lived in cycles of reciprocity with dignity, empathy, sufficiency, repair, and Peace.
What is possible from this?:
Community Scaled Climate Policy
Life-centric Governance
Indigenous Data Sovereignty
Sacred Economics
Diverse cultures that can collaborate with autonomy but also connection

“A revolution that is based on the people exercising their creativity in the midst of devastation is one of the great historical contributions of humankind.”
