Hello Everyone,

Intro time.

Life focus is upon reverse engineering cultural control programs and developing experiential vehicles for personal and cultural transmutation and rebirth.

I've been gifted with a speaking voice designed for deep emotional impact and an intellect designed for holding complex macro-systemic dynamics while expressing their practical and grounded implications. The two come together allowing me to customize words into the space, organzed in the moment to align with the people and the context. I've been provided with access to a "teleprompter" from spirit. The words are there, i just add the embodied qualities to them.

I've worked as a leadership high school teacher, small group facilitator, high and low ropes course facilitator, and the past few years have integrated those past skills with our emergent cutlure and collective awakening/activation into a program called The Changers, essentially Jedi Camp for awaking teens and young adults.

I have a business/adoption agency for crystals, focusing upon rare quartz and other speciality healing tools. With these beings i create mandala altars and teach about the design of creation. I am also developing a resource for local healers, with access to numerous rare crystals, kinda like a crystal library.

Current focus is upon empowering and activating the repatterning of the relationships and organizational structures that define our culture. Relocalization of culture, empowering local/bioregional structures while diminishing our dependence upon centralized systems of control.

In My Village is the current form of that vision with numerous spin offs and add ons waiting in the wings.

We are live in Sebastopol and Ashland. Marin is next in January. We're looking to assist those who are ready to take a bold step into embodiment of our principles and recreation of our local systems to resonate with them. This is designed for those ready to step into the future and make it their present.

love.

In My Village
A New Community Networking Model


Three things are of immense value in the now and coming times:

• Knowing how to stay present and radiant in the face of rapidly changing realities.

• Knowing how to dynamically connect and create with others in small, resonant group-circles.

• Knowing how to build within any existing community a network of heart-directed and creative people
who are devoted to living into the new cultural and spiritual paradigms that are replacing the old paradigms.

Many people have spent a good part of their lives freeing themselves from old ways of thinking and from the dominant mass culture, i.e. getting out of the ‘Matrix’. We have before us this wonderful window of opportunity to intentionally create a new culture while protecting ourselves from the collapse of the ‘old’ system. We have each been given unique gifts to help bring in that which is new. What we need now are new social structures that better allow us to harmonize and create together this new culture using these gifts we have been given.

In My Village is one model of ‘a new social structure that better allows us to harmonize and create together’. It is organized around the premise that joy and being present to life is the purpose of life and to sustain joy means being present and courageously following what brings us joy.

In My Village is organized around the structure of self-sustaining local networks or ‘villages’, with each village having approximately 100 to 150 people within it. Inside each village network, people connect and create together using four different kinds of self-forming, small-group formations:

• Learning Circles: for developing new skills and expanding awareness.

• Heart Circles: for creating deep, supportive friendships that support joy-based living in the realistic context of the current times.

• Creation Circles: for taking purposeful action with others.

• Village Circles: for sustaining the connection and activities of the Village network and for linking up with other Villages.

In each Village, personal contact is enhanced by a unique interactive website. Each village network becomes self-sustaining, self-administered and independent and exists only as a neutral, connective medium to serve the people using it.

The In My Village model is designed to replicate and spread, each Village creating their own version of what community is to its members. All resulting innovations are made freely available to other existing Villages. In this way, it is highly compatible with diversity and complex social change.

To begin building a Village within any given town or city, it is necessary to attend a 12-hour experiential introduction to this model entitled ‘The In My Village Blueprint Experience’. This workshop is designed to introduce people to the purpose and principles of the In My Village model while offering a refined training in small group dynamics. By the end of the workshop people will have a clear understanding of what In My Village is and how it works. If they are inspired and in agreement with its basic premises they can then choose to help build and be a part of a Village network in the town or city in which they live.

After completing The Blueprint Experience, the only other requirement is for people to be part of an ongoing Heart Circle, either one they form themselves or one that is already in existence. Every other kind of involvement In My Village is optional and based on the individual’s inner longing to create what they want their community to be.

The In My Village Model was initially envisioned and designed by Tej Steiner, a social artist living in Ashland, Oregon and then refined and ‘birthed’ with two other Ashland visionaries, Kirsten Liegmann and Dominic Allamano. Bill Kauth, co-founder of the Mankind Project, has also played a significant role in the In My Village Experiment in Ashland.
