We left Manchester for a very brief visit with Leesa in Oxfordshire. Matthew introduced me to Leesa last time I was in the UK, when she offered her home to me never having met me in person. She’s wonderful! She met Matthew initially through a small business organizing and mutual credit effort she runs called…
…after a wonderful stay in Bristol, and on Matthew’s suggestion, we headed down toward Exeter to meet James Priest, a Sociocracy trainer. We were met at the bus station by Nuria and Yaciel, James’ partner and 3.5-year-old son respectively, plus surprise guest Peter – Matthew’s father. (argh! I somehow failed to get any photos of…
Hello We’ve gotten off to a running start here in 2014. Since I last wrote here we’ve held the first PowerTime II energy consulting training – GREAT!

Paradoxically, that’s because work redesign has become so…
Hello! Builders Workshop #7: Healthy Community Economy Part II was a great wrap-up of our explorations, from the Healthy Community Economy Part I workshop as well as the intervening Economic Democracy Conference, of how multiple currency/cooperative economic models could work in concert to achieve powerful community goals. In the Economic Democracy Conference open space Action…
Blog post #2: Oct. 3 – Oct. 17:: LA to Chicago Well, a lot has happened since last I wrote! The LA show was fun, at a cool venue called Lot 1. With good music all around that night. The downside was a near-miss of an auto accident, with a semi truck careening directly into…
Hello I’m writing from Pasadena CA where we just finished the great CA Federation of TimeBanks Conference. The Federation did a wonderful job of organizing and we got to meet lots of CA-area timebankers and hear from Edgar Cahn, outgoing TimeBanks USA CEO Chris Gray Cahn, incoming TimeBanks USA CEO Lisa Conlan, and many more…
