I've landed here after Viola directed me to Microsolidarity when I introduced to here my concept about packs-commune which is very similar to @Richard D. Bartlett work. Even the number "8" of pack members is common :)
I came to the concept after longer intuitive and autodidactic contemplation .. I am a non-academic nor books-intellectual, just a Palestinian searching for the wrongness in the world for 15 years and become spiritual Economist and Learner. The meaning to be Palestinian turned my life into an infinite spiritual journey holding humanity and our planet within. Currently, I live in the south of Germany. I left Palestine beginning of this year after mental breakdown to heal and work on my vision. I did some findings finally which can flow in kinda of startup dealing with grassroots economic and solidarity economy. I am a creative cook and love to make people happy with my meals. My favorite is simple ones, like omelettes, creative salads, and ancient native seasonal food. My goal in life to support creating heaven on earth. I do not have a particular wish, as I feel that the energy of the good is supporting me. Maybe one wish, to unblock my true self to be able to speak about what I think. In 10 years, maybe before, I want to be a global conscious leader that co-operating with the collective people-earth agency.
Thanks for giving a place of charging. I will put the link to my concept draft as a reply .. it could be useful somehow.

Looking to connect, learn and share

Hello everyone,

I am Antonio, I am a facilitator and consultant on organization, strategy, and communication, based in Barcelona (Spain). For twenty years I have worked for many different networks: networks of cities, networks of universities, networks of libraries, etc. and also for all kind of organizations. I have also been an active member of Ouishare Spain. For my Ph.D. dissertation, I was involved with 15M/Occupy collectives, and also with very successful anarchists/cyberpunk organizations, researching how their imagination work differently from mainstream organizations.

I co-founded a year ago a pod call Pantheon Work. At his moment I am trying to promote microsolidarity between a few micro-companies (of 2 to 4 people) that I know because I worked well in the past with them (so trust is already there!).

I would like to learn from your experimentation with microsolidarity and share mine.

Hey Ulrich, before starting on the book I originally wrote an article called Neotribalism & The Conscious Change Collective. I've since moved away from a focus on the Neotribal side of things and it's accompanying aesthetic, as I've found that it's a term that tends to unnecessarily alienate quite a lot of folks. I'll attach it here as it's not actually published anywhere online just yet. Would be keen to hear your thoughts and feedback if you do check it out :D

Hi Joe, I'd love to read any of your writings. Besides the book, did you publish articles I could read? I checked the wikis you mentioned over in the "Roles" thread but could not easily find articles from you. Please let us know when the book is out.

Hi Everyone,

I'm Joe from Australia now based in Thailand.

I helped set up a congregation called Dok Rak (which means of flower of love in Thai) based in Chiang Mai and I've been learning all I can about Microsolidarity for the last few years. I'm nearly finished writing a book called A Collective Blooming which explores similar ideas. I also help to run a community cafe called The Tea Tree.

I've been keeping a low profile during the writing process, but now it's coming to an end I'm keen to connect in and co-create with other community cultivators out there. My intention for joining this group is learn more about other projects unfurling in this space and to meet the people involved in them.

Look forward to getting to know you more.

Big Love From Melbourne

Hi all,

I've been following these themes since learning about Loomio a few years ago (2016) when I was working with a network of engaged Buddhists trying to restructure away from authoritarian habits. I've since come to develop a much deeper interest in consent-based organizing and this idea of microsolidarity because I think that it may be a way to further develop and enact the principles that some of my musical heroes (e.g. Ornette Coleman, Pauline Oliveros) made happen through their music. I'm working with a new Buddhist community called Bhumisparsha to try and structure our sangha along these lines; I'm also an improvising trombonist and jazz writer currently based in Easthampton, MA, USA.
