Our next event is going to be on Wednesday, May 9th at our usual Evolver location. We're excited to have a couple of guest speakers talking about how to co-create community wealth and seeding a sacred economy here in Portland. More details are down below.
Co-Creating Community Wealth : Seeding Sacred Economy : An Interactive Presentation
Wednesday, May 9th 2012, 7:00 pm
4134 N Borthwick Ave, Portland, OR
Join us to deepen your understanding of sacred economics and natural value, examining wealth from the individual to the community and planetary scale. We'll Identify multiple flows of value and explore examples for transcending and including the existing financial paradigm through emergent community models.
Come play with us exploring practical ways to embody an evolving regenerative community wealth experience.
Please read the "What does it cost?" link below and be prepared to make a minimum donation of $5-20 to offset the cost of the tour. (no one will be turned away due to lack of funds)
* What is a "Co-Creative" Tour?
Instead of a one-time presentation, Co-Creation emphasizes two-way exchange, on-going relationship and cross-pollination. We will engage with our community and share best practices in economics from other communities.
