Watch the livestreamBill Mollison: without the freedom to choose which economic systems we join, and a voice in governing them, we are not free. And 'economy' comes from oikos (house) + nemein (manage): oikonomia, the management of the home. The talk reclaims economy as care for our shared home.
The pilgrim standing between a burning city and a terraced, regenerative future. Resilient, regenerative villages against fragile, extractive cities. The work is to build the next system while the old one falters.
Locally embedded and globally connected. A whole ecosystem of movements already lives this way, each a node in the same emerging network.
Wealth is more than money. Eight forms of capital, social, material, financial, living (natural), intellectual, experiential, spiritual, and cultural, that a healthy community grows together.
Communities meet the human need for connection and cooperation. Build it up: a community of one, of two (me and you, overlapping), of many, held by shared values and, above all, communication. Like ecological succession, a community matures through stages, and nothing exists in isolation.
At scale, human communication breaks down (the Tower of Babel; the blind men and the elephant). Can computers carry us over the human-communication hump? 'Mediated telepathy', an information system for the planet, coordinating by stigmergy the way ants leave signals in a shared environment, and meeting people where they are.
Holons is a digital infrastructure for 'liquid remuneration': nested organizations where each holon has its own Ethereum address, and any value it receives is split automatically across its members by a dynamic weight. Composable communities that can federate or separate, a commons as an app-store for the collective's goods and services.
Regenerativa.earth: a gLocal network of interdependent individuals, communities and projects for integral regeneration, governed by shared agreements and organised as a DAO. Liminal Village is its home node in the Marche bioregion of Italy, part of the Regen Civics Alliance: an integral-human practice at three scales, personal, local, and global.
