One Small Town/Contributionism |
Sociocratic Governance |
Contributionism is based on the seminal work of Michael Tellinger. Basically, each village member provides 3 hours per week of service to the community in whatever capacity they choose. In our Villages, working hours are managed by an online app. Of course if you want to give even more hours, that is completely wonderful as well ;-)
How to create Peaceful Community?
Imagine a world where everyone was trained in NVC Communication Skills and basic Conflict Resolution techniques. At VivaGaia Villages everyone is provided with free ongoing education in Compassionate Communication and Conflict Resolution. It is an essential pre-requisite for all potential villagers to be trained in these skills PRIOR to joining the village. This is so, that whenever issues arise between villagers, there is an agreed-to protocol to go through to ensure creative win-win solutions.... thus ensuring a peaceful environment that enables the greatest amount of creativity and connection to be unleashed.

Sociocracy - The Sociocratic Circle Method is a governance structure and decision-making method with feedback loops.
All groups or communities need effective governance structures, and Sociocracy is an efficient, non-hierarchical system that ensures everyone gets heard, and things actually get done. “… systems are more potent than good intentions. In order to be who we want to be, we need systems around us that support our integrity, best intentions and allow for us to act accordingly. That’s what good governance is.” Ted Rau Growing food and eating together.
Communities and Families that work together and eat together are strong and happy. Hence, each cluster of housing has its own community space where everyone is strongly encouraged to eat together at least once per week... where everyone shares in the shopping, cooking, preparation and cleaning up. Some people may choose to eat together EVERY night. People who dont feel enthusiastic about this idea , are unlikely to be motivated to join the village. There is also a larger community space for the whole village to hold meetings, and social and educational events, and house extra visitors.

High Tech, Low Impact Technologies
We invite input from leading-edge technologies - for energy production, housing, food production, health and healing, computing and blockchain, etc.
We will be exploring options of Free Energy linked to intel from Micheal Tellinger, Kimberly and Foster Gamble (THRIVE), Jared Rand - Med Beds etc etc. All technologies must rigorously fulfil the 9 Ethics of: Love - Truth - Compassion - Awareness - Creativity - Transparency - Accountability - Beauty - Win-Win The core to mental and physical health is a strong individual, family and community. Without strong interconnections, we become weakened and disconnected from our true creative and loving capacities. |
