Notes from 24th Jan
By Rona
Host Evie
Guardian Iain
Scribe Rona
Evie read a poem ,one vision, from the book.
Bill wrote agreements on flip chart ( more work and thinking to be done on agreements )
Chapter 6 Community initiatives
We looked at each of the three Global initiatives in turn.
Global Eco villages -
A powerful vision.
Group shared knowledge of similar initiatives they knew of .
Camphill Aberdeen , built by Pioneers who fled from the Third Reich .European
European Rainbow Camps
Was this people opting out of change and not making change ?
After a short discussion it was agreed generally that these inspiring places offer hope and a vision that brings a different way more possible.
Local exchange or community currency network.
People addressing poverty . Communities trying to stay connected Brings people together.
Can it work on a large scale ?
Could we use an alternative currency ? We also discussed Time Banks ,
People still say my money.
Andy Wightman says the poor do not have lawyers.
Land ownership always comes up.- Take the land and do it.
Basic Income Network
Great idea , Utopian, Unrealistic, Could happen but will take 50 -100 years.
It could happen with ease.Our broken souls. A mixture of feelings but agreed we should strive for a fairer system.
Iain pointed out that there was good things happening-Plasma reactors being released on 30th January. World peace being declared.
Chapter 7 True stability and Freedom
Focus is always on making enough money to live on and buy what you think you need.Society structures how we respond on a personal level.
Survival and success.
Again if you opt out and look for alternatives are you helping to make changes
Is there ever a well deserved profit ?
Profit beyond need is decadent
.Difficult to understand how having love at the core of any transaction becomes less to do with money and more to do with need.
We ran out of time so Anneruth suggested we use the forum to finish chapter 7. Every one agreed
We then spent some more time on agreements. Also agreed to finalise them on the forum and then print them out for a wall chart. Rona will laminate it.
Bill sang a song to finish off.
Everyone agreed they felt much better after participating in the circle.
