Astrology, Spirituality & Alternative Healing

There has been zero activity there...lol.

And, it's one of those proverbial Catch-22 situations in that, to have discussion and exploration about cooperatives and collaborative approaches, it requires cooperation and collaboration.



This is one thing I absolutely cannot do on my own. It requires others to at least be engaged enough to start envisioning how it could manifest. I've resigned myself to at least trying to set up some sort of presentation so people can "see" how it could work, as my theoretical ramblings meant to invite discussion simply aren't doing the trick.

I do have a lot of information gathered, including business plans that could help guide the official structure. And my connections with the National Cooperative Business Association will be tremendously helpful.

I have yet to find another setup similar to what have always envisioned, which is actually a combination of a member-owned and worker-owned collective, with the "workers" being authors, artists, musicians, graphic designers, editors, and other administrative persons. The members are the consumers who purchase the end product and are invested in promoting those products.

I'm finding that people in the States envision only organic food when they hear "co-op," so I'm also using the term "collective."

But that invites "communist" dissing.



C'est la vie!
