What's special about this community?
This is a member and volunteer supported community that emerged from the work of Rebel Wisdom. As indicated in our Purpose Statement, we have found that *how* we relate to each other is an essential aspect of our foundation and growth--so at least as important as what we discuss or do together.
What's important for me to know before joining?
Because a main focus in this community is relational in nature, we strongly using real names-- at the very least a first name and last initial. We also strongly encourage the use of real photos.
We offer group and 1:1 meeting with our volunteer Greeters; please check your e-mail/private chat for an invitation.
Onboarding New members please start here: https://emergent-commons.mn.co/posts/welcome-new-member-onboarding-start-here There is a New Member checklist with two recommended short videos at the beginning.
How can I engage here?
Here we can practice, explore and connect, with places to post/comment, as well as a variety of Zoom meetings led by members. Some of what we do:
Share what lights us up and explore what sparks others
Engage in relational practices and experiments
Discuss current events, philosophical questions and spiritual journeys in an open and depolarized way
Share art/poetry/music
Join or start Crews to do all of the above

We have a Patreon account where community members can contribute funds, which cover current platform and Zoom costs.
How is Emergent Commons organized?
We have teams of volunteers that make decisions under a constitution, and we encourage input and involvement from all members.
How do I use the platform to engage?
