Gift Culture - 'Simon on the Sofa'

Sign at the Sharing Gardens
Hello dear friends - I was poking around on YouTube last night and discovered a wonderful soul who calls himself  'Simon on the Sofa'-LINK. He has done a series of interviews with people he has met through 'couch-surfing' around the world for seven years. These are just regular folks who are doing their best to unplug from the Matrix and live sustainable, authentic lives based on love and service. Some of them are activists and are directly challenging the system to pave the way for a more equitable and healthy future. Others are pro-actively attempting to actually live as if this sustainable future is already here. Both roles seem necessary in order to birth something new. Chris and I prefer the latter but are grateful to those of you actively working to change laws and stand up to corruption where you see it.

There are countless documentaries out there that outline the many problems of the world today but quite a bit fewer that offer clear guidelines for creating the world we want to see. We see this especially when it comes to the topic of money and the economy. How can we begin to untangle our dependency on money? How can we move from a level of just 'surviving' to an open vista of 'thriving'.

Sit back and enjoy this upbeat, inspiring video which offers concrete ways for moving further into the gift culture. Thank you for all the ways you are already helping to make the world a better place. If you have any comments, we appreciate it if you'd leave them below so all can share in your insights and reflections.
