For Thrivers interested, let’s consider together the human & physical resources most common to us, through which we can organize thriving livelihood for ourselves, families, extended-families & ‘communities’ (Latin ‘com’ = ‘together’ + ‘munus’ = ‘gift-or-service’) for all. We are developing an open-source software tool, which can be used by local Community-Economy animators easily & everywhere to animate local Circular welcoming inclusive livelihood for all. Our Sustainable Development Association & Indigene Community would love to hear from everyone.
All humanity’s worldwide ‘indigenous’ (Latin ‘self-generating’) ancestors cultivated personal power local through the ~100 (50-150) person Multihome-Dwelling-Complex (eg. Longhouse-apartment, Pueblo-townhouse & Kanata-village) Intimate, intergenerational, Female-male, Interdisciplinary, Critical-mass, Economies-of-Scale collaboration. 70% of people today live within Multihome-Dwelling-Complexes (eg. Apartment, Townhouse & Village-clusters) averaging 32 dwelling-units = ~100 people. 20% of Multihome-dwellers are extended-families living intentionally in proximity for social & economic collaboration, contributing 2 trillion $/year on Turtle-Island/N. America of the most individually appropriate goods, services, sharing & caring/year.
WE HAVE CHOICES & SOVEREIGNTY WHEN WE ORGANIZE LIVELIHOOD OURSELVES Multihomes should be the 1st Line of nutritional, preventative & restorative Medical intervention by specialists already amongst us treating people proactively & positively in harmony with nature. The ancient core of ‘economy’ (Greek ‘oikos’ = ‘home’ + ‘namein’ = ‘care-&-nurture’) is the collective Domestic (mostly women) with Industry & Commerce (mostly men) as subset supportive economies of the primary domestic essential services. Multihomes are where many immigrant extended families organize successful domestic intimate, intergenerational, female-male, interdisciplinary, critical-mass, economies-of-scale busy-ness then safely expand to specialized industrial & commercial ventures within a supportive community. One introduction to all our interdisciplinary biosphere-based ancient ways is called the Indigenous Circle-of-Life, somewhat related to the Medicine-Wheel in simplifying an inter-disciplinary set of Indigenous factors needed for all of us to become whole again. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/a-home/3-indigenous-circle-of-life
