Our Intention
Our work is designed to change the world. ~ As each of us builds our own bonded, long-term, family-like community of men and women, we are creating the safe places needed to generate the new systems of an emerging "gift" culture. In these new communities we will live more meaningful lives as we give our gifts. We co-create the new world, as together we wake from our trance to discover how wealthy, wise and competent we truly are.
We hope to both inspire you and offer the “how-to” details you will need to build your own “core” community. Come play with us as you design your personal life as a meaningful vision.
Welcome to a truly joyous adventure. ~~~ Bill & Zoe
Vision of our “Core Community”
Our core/gift community is a local, non-residential, committed, intimate, bonded family of men and women supporting each other as we build the new gift culture.
~~~Let's explore some definitions:
CORE COMMUNITY describes the tribe of choice with whom we spend our time and invest our hearts.
GIFT CULTURE appears to be the next emerging worldview of a maturing humanity where their values move from transaction to trust, from consumption to contribution, from scarcity to abundance and most relevant to this work - from isolation to community.
GIFT COMMUNITY is rooted in the values of the Gift Culture. It’s a “fictive kinship” in which people choose each other in a kind of tribal family.
LOCAL means connected and committed to staying in one place. We live within a few square miles of each other.
NON-RESIDENTIAL means we mostly do not live on the same property, but can visit each other easily and often.
COMMITTED is very important as we choose each other and make clear agreements to stay together for a “long time”—ideally a lifetime.
INTIMATE means we feel safe, and love and trust each other as in a healthy marriage. Our authenticity and integrity shine.
BONDED in that, after family, our focus is with each other. We consider the well-being of our tribe/core first.
TRIBE/CORE is our group whom we hold as family, yet we’re bigger than family, bonded at an archetypal, visceral level beyond words.
MEN AND WOMEN together, reconnecting as never before, feeling safe, honored and respected by each other, like close sisters and brothers.
BUILD NEW GIFT CULTURE means we support each other as conscious, creative people, each giving our gift, especially new social inventions to actively building our new world.
