A Transition Incubator for Small Towns and their Rural Neighbors"

“This is a vision for chaotic times! A budget saving alternative to Costco and University of Phoenix’s “profit-driven supply chains” that touts “sharers not consumers.” – WOX

What is a Sharing Center (SC)?

 

The SC is envisioned to be as off-grid and family / neighbor run as possible. Gratitude-fueled! Training programs are coupled with material and services exchange where possible. The vision utilizes what skills and values are already there – and to teach each other new ones when possible.

SC is a hands-on resilience machine as rural America reels from the eminent toxic corporate collapse and springs back to stability.

Please see large format Sharing Center Plan (PDF) for an integrated training and community ecosystem for resilience.
