I have a dream of creating a cooperative with like minded people to start to establish a base of economic power from which to launch more beneficial sustainable and regenerative cooperatives. I am open to all ideas. Personally, I want to create truly beautiful natural/built spaces for communities to enjoy holidays, play, and regenerative nutrition.
Coops are a collective endevour but, if it were up to me alone, I feel that this country, with its literary tradition for fantasy and folklore (e.g. Tolkein), should have more fantastical forest villages to inspire children in nature. But that is just my peculiar eccentricity. What could be a better example of a new economy than a game!? At its heart, joy and awe.
If this sounds intriguing then please contact me!
Anyone who has been reading the CC Science and New Economics knows that the challenges we face are insurmoutable. Nevertheless, I believe an attempt must be made to create an alternative to the status quo. What is life but the joy of the present moment?
...and, what would you rather spend your final days doing, working within the status quo, or nurturing something special?
...personally, I'd rather play games in the woods and give others the means to a healthy and fulfilling life rather than sitting in a dreary office in a smokey city.
How did I come to understand the complexity and depth of the climate and ecological crisis? I started out as a Health Scientist. I had made it my crusade to improve the health and wellbeing of children and adults. Unable to find work in health promotion, I retrained as a personal trainer/nutritionist. My plan was to create a business to help children and adults make healthier choices and enjoy their physicality playing in natural spaces. Over time, I read more about the economic roots of inequality, and the looming climate disaster.
I am, unashamedly, a rebel and a dreamer. I believe that the world needs folks like us right now! ...so, if you too are a "rebel [or] a dreamer" then please, talk to me!
...what a beautiful world we might create together.
