What if you could fight climate change by changing your agreements with your friends? What if you could work less but have greater access to resources? What if you could be building more trust in your life instead of making making profits for someone else?
All this might sound too good to be true, but a collection of resource and income sharing communities in central Virginia have been doing this for years. These communities create libraries of tools, cars, clothes and media while learning to live together. One upside of this lifestyle choice is an 80% reduction in each member’s carbon footprint.
The catch is you have to trust people. This requires deep and occasionally difficult conversations and a willingness to look at yourself and cooperate in ways we are not used to.
This presentation explores the tools and traps connected with embracing an income sharing lifestyle. The talk will be followed by a question and answer session.
We are also doing a Communities in Crisis: How to manage and mend workshop in Binghamton NY on May 6th.
Paxus Calta is the co-founder of the Point A project which is an audacious project to form urban income sharing egalitarian democratic ambitious engaged communes in the cities of the American East Coast. He has lived at Twin Oaks Community for 18 years. Twin Oaks is a secular 100 person income sharing community which grows most of its own food, builds its own buildings, runs its own businesses and educates its own kids. The community has been doing this successfully for 49 years.

Feeling grateful for the 100’s of millions of kindred souls here, the many millions more around the globe, past present and future saints and prophets, and our Mother Earth, together we sing as One Heart. This Healing Begins With Us. Can you hear its song?

Yes, it is a sharing-everything space, it is free software based but what is more important: in is distributed. We have our node, Shareable is standing up its node now. If you want we can help you to stand up yours. Nodes interconnect and so does the sharing space. But it also interconnects conversation (a kind of federation of local twitter or forums) and in our case, all the commentaries of our blog and the blogs of the people supporting las Indias use our node as a kind of «disqus» in order to federate them in a single and diverse conversation.
The software is being developped by a transnational team of developpers made of people of las Indias and people of Free Software Foundation.

If it could be interesting to yo, we would love to support the fec in order to create its own federative sharing space and conversational distributed tools.
