What does the future of community, governance and finance look like?

Humanity is a massive evolutionary moment across all systems. Many of our systems are failing, and we’re seeing the harmful limitations of our dominant western culture play out on a global scale. When you layer in climate change and biodiversity loss, the future starts to look pretty grim…
However, humanity is adapting and prototyping new ways of being and doing, all around the globe. Today’s guest, Martin Theis, is one of these humans. Through various communities and the music scene in Germany, Martin has first hand experience playing in non-monetary systems of exchange, self-organizing communities of creation, and different governance structures.
In this episode:

• Piloting new ways of doing community, governance and value exchange
• Prototyping money-less economies
• Embodying our values to serve as models to others
• Governance and decision making in a self-organizing system
• Moving from transaction to reciprocal generosity
