Introductions

Hi all, I came across Microsolidarity on Thursday when I attended a training session with Richard and Nati, via Zoom, at Rebel Wisdom. I felt inspired to follow up that session by learning more about Microsolidarity and getting involved in some way. It is all still very new to me, but it feels significant and I have learnt that my life works out best if I follow those flows. I look forward to meeting you all at some later point. Regards, Michael

Dear all,

After almost 10 months of trying to gain co-creative support for my project, I have decided to look for funding opportunities in order to build a professional team and respect the reality of the money world and that many are working hard to help projects like mine. Finding the right address is even not an easy task!

So it would be great if you could point me to a grant opening that deals with promoting local regenerative economies and building an architecture that enables synergized global engagement along.

It is actually a Spiritual, Digital, and Natural Capitalism Approach for the Wellbeing of All.

I propose a “for-benefit” (non-profit) business-service platform that is supporting homelands local regenerative economies in developing countries, based on involving solidarity networks and outlander from the addressed countries that are built together with a connection-space with local producers and their challenges, purchasing their regenerative products in bulk as consumer communities abroad without middlemen, etc.

@Richard D. Bartlett work has brought great people together here .. so If you think that is possible to form a team (legal, copywriting, Webdesign, animation and artworks, software development) to develop the platform-website together, then I can give it a new try :) .. i am open to all possibilities. Then we can arrange an introductory meeting.

Thank you very much!

Hi Josh, yes I'd to speak with your friend! I'll DM. Also, I haven't looked into mutual credit networks - will read up on CrowdPol and other programs. Thanks for the lead!

Hi Jen, I've a friend doing that sounds very similar to you (curator, producer, new media) out here in Italy. She's just rounded up a regional gig that involves AR and is looking for someone she can rely on to help with the AR stuff. She works with new groups that self select each time and was behind this project, I wonder if you'd be up for speaking with her about her current endeavours?

Re Thai pay, I'm also quite interested in balancing the resource graph so as to speak. You could perhaps look into mutual credit networks? I also think CrowdPol are trying to do something there with their Altruistic wallet but it's not live yet so no examples in action.

Hello, I'm a curator, producer, and new media artist based in Thailand. Originally from California. I've produced tech, art, and music festivals, as well as project managed AR, VR, and interactive web projects. I'm not part of any crews and am still researching/clarifying ideas around co-ops for myself, particularly tech/platform co-ops. Interested in learning about decision making and building trust between groups of people from different cultural backgrounds. I'm Thai-American myself and have worked in a few companies that'd pay 'expats' more than the Thai staff members doing the exact same work. I'm looking into structures (social/finanical/operational/etc) that ensure fair treatment and payment of all members equally, and examples of this in practice. Inspired by the students leading Thailand's current protests, and thinking about how to extend that political solidarity to other forms of co-organization.

Found my way here through the excellent microsolidarity article. Interested in: user generated storytelling, land rights issues, and learning from your experiments in microsolidarity

I would like to present to you finaly my project and the way it creates it's own dynamics by forming small groups on a common affair. I hope it reaches its target group to gain the needed support.

Hello! My focus is on regenerative world-building and the resilience of world-builders. My intention for joining this community is to find thinking and working partners, and learn from everyone.

I’m located just outside of Boulder, CO in the US.

Hi! I have been interested in intentional communities for a long time, since going to a summer camp modeled on kibbutzim. I teach & study collective intelligence in a mgmt dept for my day job, but what I really want to do is build community and promote collective consciousness/sense making. I hosted a brunch crew that met every Sunday for about a year before lockdown, no formal structure besides guiding philosophy. I am sad that we have since lost cohesion but I am supposed to move to London so would've had to start over anyway. I am lucky to also do pro bono mediation & facilitation on the side, which I have found to be very useful in community building.

I am joining this group because I want to get more seriously engaged in community building and I am looking for ideas and support.

Hi everyone
I've been part of a crew before I was even aware of that word. I live in South Africa and started a crew with a group of my friends called the Apocalypse Bookclub. It's a discussion and action group exploring what it might mean to grow regenerative culture in a time of societal collapse. I'll be joining the Practice Program in September, so looking forward to deepening my understanding and practice of Microsolidarity.

Such 'Gratitude' to link me here on this Journey Viola. I have such a good feeling after my recent post, that it will be the right spot to move from ahead ..
