Aerin Dunford replied to Ben Roberts's discussion Indigenous Wisdom: Healing the Rift (10/8 Vital Conversation)"Hi Gary, everyone...
I've had this conversation open in a tab for the past week... pondering how I might like to respond. I also participated in Jitandra's Occupy Heart call last Thursday with Brother Phil, which I found very, very…"
Aerin Dunford replied to Ben Roberts's discussion Indigenous Wisdom: Healing the Rift (10/8 Vital Conversation)"Hi Gary!
Great to hear from you (as always). I was checking out your earlier posts on this page and sharing with some friends. I don't know much about the 12-step program but I do agree with your statement that we have not yet "hit…"
Aerin Dunford replied to Ben Roberts's discussion Indigenous Wisdom: Healing the Rift (10/8 Vital Conversation)"I just wanted to share an article by indigenous activist in Alaska who wrote an essay that really speaks to something that came up on our last round of conversation about how the culture of indigenous people cannot be healed in North America until…"
Aerin Dunford replied to Occupy Cafe Stewards's discussion 12/12 Vital Conversation featuring Charles Eisenstein: "How Might Occupy Support the New Economy?""Your comment here, David, brings up an interesting point about language that I have been considering for the last few days. In fact, I almost called an Open Space session about this topic on the Vital Conversations call today. Many times words…"
Aerin Dunford replied to Occupy Cafe Stewards's discussion 12/12 Vital Conversation featuring Charles Eisenstein: "How Might Occupy Support the New Economy?""Everyday we can practice LIVING the values inherent in a gift economy, simply by giving the best of ourselves, without expectation of anything in return. We trust that when we give in this way we ARE building and learning our way into the new…"
Aerin Dunford replied to Ben Roberts's discussion Small Group Conversation Harvest"Thanks for this comment, David. I agree that it is entirely new "economies" that we need on a local/regional level. Then we need those economies to be connected (as I mentioned on the call today) trans-locally ... to the degree that that…"
Aerin Dunford replied to Occupy Cafe Stewards's discussion 11/21 - Round 1: Richard Kreidler from OccupySF"yes, I agree, David.
I think that if nature needs to regulate the number of people on this planet (that sounds a bit harsh, I recognize) I think that will happen ... or maybe it already is!"
Aerin Dunford replied to Occupy Cafe Stewards's discussion 11/21 - Round 1: Richard Kreidler from OccupySF"I'd be interested to hear more about #3, as one of the beliefs that I work from fundamentally is that abundance is really possible for all. I just think we need to make sure that we know what we're talking about when we say abundance.…"

Aerin Dunford replied to Ben Roberts's discussion 11/14: Aerin Dunford"Hi Lindsay,
Thank you so much for these thoughts. I love your new word, conviviocracy. Convivir is a term that we use a lot here in Oaxaca. There isn't much of a direct translation to English unfortunately. It would seem that it might mean…"

Aerin Dunford replied to Ben Roberts's discussion 11/14: Aerin Dunford"Stephen ... thank you so very much for these comments. As I said on the call, I am really heartened to hear that there are so many ways to influence the federal governments (and probably at the state and local levels as well).
I actually do believe…"

Hablamos de la Comunalidad
Posted on October 26, 2011 at 2:39pm 1 Comment 3 Likes
Hi friends,
I just wrote a blog about the concept of comunalidad (in indigenous societies of Southern Mexico) and how it ties into #Occupy. I won't repost the whole thing here, but you can check it out on the Berkana blog by clicking here.
Enjoy!

"On Facebook, Practical Utopian Guides is a page focused particularly on the newest book by David Graeber, The Democracy Project."
David Grabowski posted a blog postWHEN EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION IS A DISTORTION .
Little Jimmy was crying to his mommy that his brother hit him he is a mean person to him. His brother never got the chance to present his and since he was older he was expected to know better. You might say that it was easy to demonize the old brother because the parents had established an acceptable pattern of conclusions based on past behavior.. How easy is it for the person who screams the loudest to be effective in convincing people to her/his side of the story. If it sounds…See More
