Cultivating the Commons Skill Share
This is a monthly resource and skills-share circle that explores the history of common land-stewardship and other sources of inspiration that help us envision a future built by community, rather than individual accumulation of capital.
The Commons (n) -
Cultural and natural resources that are collectively managed/used for the mutual benefit of all members of a community, rather than privatized for individual gain. Common land-stewardship was practiced across pre-industrialized Europe and is still practiced by indigenous peoples across the world.
Third Sunday of each month | 6 - 7:30 pm (Mountain Time)
Meetings will be held in person when possible, but joining online will always be an option.
About
Like a book club, each month, myself or another member of the group will select content for us to read, watch, or listen to before we meet to fuel our discussion. These could include:
a short read from a book, an essay, a story, or poem
a podcast
a movie
just about anything, so long as it’s related to collective action and community resilience
Unlike a book club, this will be a relatively short time commitment each month. The goal is to invite folks to participate in community and discussion, but not to give extensive reading assignments.
We would also love to include:
Guest speakers who are doing inspiring work in their community
Tangible skills that empower mutual-aid
