Village Seeds
Village Seeds is a platform for sharing crucial design elements and resources for building, living together in, and duplicating regenerative-culture villages.
This is the latest, most efficient and effective set of tools, distinctions, procedures, and designs that we know of. Please let us know if you have resources we do not know about so that we can share them with others!
Once the Village Seeds sprout in you as upgraded thoughtware, you can go anywhere in the world and create a Team that already lives in a regenerative-culture village or nanonation.
Using Village Seeds is straightforward. The world and your future wait for you to begin:
- Gather your first Village Seeds in a 3Cell: your core Team of 3 people who carry **same-context*regenerative-culture village memes.
- Study your Thoughtware: your Village design already exists in your hearts and souls, but it needs to be expressed in your Village Codex, Purpose, Bright Principles, and Values.
- Prepare Your Selves: you become good soil when it becomes clear that Inner Permaculture + Outer Permaculture = Whole Permaculture
- Plant your Seeds: deliver memetic upgrade Trainings for the resonant interested people who come around.
- Tend your gardens: a life of practice deepens the roots for new Village Builders as they grow.
- Release your new Village Seeds to go out and make new villages.
A Village Is A Gameworld
if you do not know that a Village is a gameworld then you will not use gameworld-building technologies to build your Village
Gameworlds
We human beings interact with each other through gameworlds which we have constructed out of nothing and which we have decided to play in together. Checkers, soccer, school, religion, towns, government, money, insurance, property ownership, rent, taxes, driving licenses, banks, loans, credit cards, phone contracts, the grocery store, the post office, etc. etc. etc. are all gameworlds we have created out of nothing. A village is a gameworld.
Gameworlds are characterized by having a context, distinctions, thoughtware, and rules of engagement written in a Codex.
We were not taught about our power to create and modify gameworlds because the gameworlds try to protect themselves from being changed. That time is over. The secret is out.
To gain practical experience using distinctions about gameworlds, do the experiments in these three S.P.A.R.K.s:
Spark-057-en: A problem signals the start of the next gameworld.
Spark-146-en: Either you consciously design each gameworld you live in or you are a pawn in someone else’s gameworld.
Spark-170-en: You may fear archetypal love because it leaves civilization behind as a stupid gameworld.
Gaian Gameworlds
Some villages are Gaian Gameworlds, villages that feed and nurture Gaia, rather than feeding off Her like parasites.
Being able to build and consult others how to build Gaian Gameworld Villages could be the most important service of our time.
Are you up for it? Then please begin.
A Village Is A Tribe
if you do not know that a Village is a Tribe then you will not use Tribe-building technologies to build your Village
How To Build And Weave A Tribe
How do you manufacture a resilient community that protects, defends and advances the interests of its members?
The answer is one word: Tribe.
I spell the word 'tribe' with a capital 'T' to mean 'a tribe that has consciously built itself', 'a Tribe that knows it is one of the many possible Tribes that any human being can create and be a part of'.
Most indigenous tribes do not teach 'cultural relativity' so the word for 'person' in most indigenous languages means 'the real people' or 'the human beings', and the word for 'foreigner' means 'the edible ones'.
A Tribe (with a capital 'T') lives in the understanding that the construct the Tribe lives in together is 'bullshit'.
'Bullshit' is a technical term that means 'arbitrary', or 'fabricated out of thin air', or 'very relevant but not true'.
When you have experiential certainty that your own Tribe is a gameworld which you intentionally constructed out of a context, distinctions, thoughtware, Codex, Bill of Wrongs, and Rules of Engagement, then you do not have to go around inflexibly defending your Tribe to the death because you believe that IT IS THE ONE TRUE TRIBE that lives in the ONE RIGHT WAY, like happens in child-level religions.
You just made your gameworld up out of nothing! You are proud to say that it IS bullshit!
Taking ownership of your power to build a Tribe out of nothing, anytime, anywhere, with anyone, gives you the possibility to disidentify with, and reinvent, your gameworld whenever that would become necessary or desired.
Your Tribe lives in the experience of the 'death and resurrection show'. You know the Phoenix Process from the inside. Your Tribe holds Evolution at its center.
This is what makes your Tribe bulletproof...
Make Your Website
https://makeyourwebsite .mystrikingly.com
Yes, you can, for free, in a short time, exactly as you want it...
Build Your Circle
Send out your Newsletter to your Circle.
Your Circle Is Your Tribe
Seth Godin's visionary book guides you to turn a scattering of followers into a loyal tribe.
If you need to rally fellow employees, customers, investors, believers, hobbyists, or readers around an idea, this book will demystify the process.
It's human nature to seek out tribes, be they religious, ethnic, economic, political, or even musical. Now the Internet has eliminated the barriers of geography, cost, and time. Social media gives anyone who wants to make a difference the tools to do so.
Time for Tribe Training
This “new” tribe is designed to deepen love and connection in your life. It also creates a safety net to navigate rapidly changing times. This non-residential model (everyone has their own home) will bring you joy and save you years of struggle attempting to learn what we have to share from our own experience.
The Process: You will learn by doing – actually experiencing and practicing the ways of the tribe as you come to know the values, skills and needed structure.
Information: By phone Zoe or Bill at 541-482-2335 or contact us here.
OUR INTENTION: We want every student to “feel” tribe having learned exactly how to build your own. It will include how to find the people, how to invite them and then how to facilitate the “orientation and initiation” training process for bonding the tribe. Each student will learn how to hold the “joy space” of deep intimacy and create beautiful ceremonies to mark the passages into tribe.
PARTICIPANTS WILL:
- Learn the skills of building long-term personal community (tribe).
- Explore deep trustbetween men and women in your tribe.
- Enjoy deep presence/intimacy and replicate it.
- Grow your tribe membership in a loving way.
MOST SIGNIFICANT LEARNING: After 7 years of exploring just how to build a tribe, we finally found the key. Each person invited into tribe goes thru a 15 hour training class we call the “tribe orientation and initiation.” It includes tribe values, structure and the essential skills needed to function well in our tribe. These skills include safety between men and women, safe authentic intimacy and conflict resolution. You will learn all this!
Meetings & Decisions
when your meetings sing, your village sings too
Torus Meeting Technology
Torus Technology meetings liberate both individual and team potential almost 100%.
- The enthusiasm and intelligence of each individual is fully liberated to decide what needs to be done and what you personally want to do about it. Any person can start any kind of NODE they want, join any existing NODE, and leave any NODE at any time.
- There are no targets for authority figure projections or conflicts. Each person is their own authority making their own decisions, contributing their full creativity unhindered by opinions or rules from bosses or managers.
- Since even one person is all it takes to start a NODE, novel approaches and innovative opportunities are swiftly noticed and adopted. Many parallel experiments occur simultaneously and the results are shared at each CONVERGENCE for everyone's benefit.
- Decisions effecting the entire TORUS are made at the NODE level using NODE intelligence. When the NODE'S decisions are proposed at each TORUS CONVERGENCE, resistance from the rest of the TORUS is consulted for its intelligence. Anyone who has unsatisfied resistance to the decision automatically joins the NODE during the next DIVERGENCE to make a better decision. This way, those who are affected by the decision or who have useful knowledge are included in the decision making. As a result, decisions are wiser and more completely adopted by the TORUS.
- Since there are no positions of safety or power in a TORUS, there is no place for a psychopathic personality to gain and hold territory or defend a power position. A one person NODE making decisions for the TORUS gets ridiculous pretty fast.
- During a TORUS CONVERGENCE every suggestion for an action can be adopted immediately by anyone wanting to do it without having to wait for a group consensus. Even if you are the only one who immediately sees the importance or value of a particular action, you can start it without waiting. If others see the value of that action they can join you during the next DIVERGENCE. If nobody joins you, then that's just feedback.
Sociocracy 3.0
Sociocracy 3.0:
- provides a coherent collection of principles based patterns for collaboration, to navigate complexity, adapt and evolve.
- supports people to incrementally process available information into continuous improvement of work processes, products, services and skills.
- helps organizations to make the best use of the talent already present, and to grow flexible organizational structures to align the flow of information and influence to the flow of value.
- provides an organic, iterative approach to change that meets organizations where they are and helps them move forward at their own pace and according to their unique context and needs.
- draws on the collective intelligence of the group.
- facilitates the development of strategies that are “good enough for now” and “safe enough to try”.
- fosters accountability and a sense of engagement.
- is a transformational mechanism for both individuals and the whole organization.
Open Space Technology
Open Space (Technology) is a simple way to run productive meetings, for five to 2000+ people, and a powerful approach to spaceholding in any kind of organization, in everyday practice, and turbulent change.
For many, Open Space has been a daring and marvelous exploration of the vastness and the urgency of personal and organizational transformation. For others, it’s just an exceedingly effective, and efficient, meeting methodology.

Holistic Decision Making
https://www.holisticdecisionmaking.org/
Holistic Decision Making is socially, environmentally, and economically sound in the short, medium and long term. Now that’s a bit of a mouthful, I know. It is also a pretty big call, when you think about it.
Humans are notorious for making decisions based on a short-term social, environmental, or economic outcome that has unintended short, medium, and long term consequences in the other two areas. An all-too-common example is a business that makes decisions towards financial outcomes, or a non-profit that makes decisions towards environmental outcomes, where both do so in a way that burn out the individuals involved (an unintended social consequence). Sooner or later, it is game over, and people give up, exhausted and demoralized.
If we were all making socially, environmentally and economically good decisions that were sound in the short, medium and long term, (even 25% of the time!) the world would be going in a radically different and more beautiful direction than it is right now. Imagine a world filled with groups or organizations that simultaneously strengthened individual and social health and happiness, ecosystem health and diversity, and the local economy, both now and long into the future. This is a world most of us want to live in, and it is precisely what Holistic Management is about empowering. It is nothing if not ambitious, though as we will see, it is also nothing if not practical and not that hard if you can give it just a little time and discipline.
Holistic Decision Making was formulated by Allan Savory, and it all started with his quest to figure out what was behind the world’s rapid and ongoing transformation into desert. After a long and unexpected journey he realized that the only common factor that underlies desertification the world over is human decision making. He then developed Holistic Management as a framework for empowering land managers to make land management decisions that halt and indeed reverse desertification.
You can apply Holistic Decision Making to implement your Team's projects more effectively (...especially if you add in a few distinctions such as Feelings/Emotions, Box Technology, Your Gremlin, Story Worlds, 2 Dramas, 4 Brains, Bright Principles, and Torus Meetings.)
Concide Decision-Making App
CONCIDE takes every alternative seriously.
No idea is hastily rejected.
If anyone has concerns, they will be heard.
This increases the acceptance of a group decision jointly taken.
Why reduce complexity, if it can be easily modelled using CONCIDE? Let a lack of knowledge reveal playful new insights.
Allow degrees of creativity to increase free thinking.
CONCIDE is both ingenious software and innovative thoughtware at the same time.
Just as power is being replaced by empowerment, the CONCIDE app supports the paradigm shift.
Resistance Decision Making
The intelligence behind what a person does not want is often easier to access than the intelligence behind what a person does want.
This is because we learn to say, "No!" louder than we learn to say, "Yes!"
Resistance Decision Making is a procedure for efficiently using resistance to eliminate multiple options in Teams. It helps a group of geniuses come to satisfyingly agreements.
This is a tool from Torus Technology.
The Purple Card
Using good-hearted group intelligence to distinguish between a meeting space and an Emotional Healing Process (EHP) space. Without this distinction being ongoingly held, crucial topics cannot be decided upon because the meeting space will be hijacked by any of the four Ego States that are not Adult or Archetypal (specifically the Child Ego State, Parent Ego State, Gremlin Ego State, or Demon Ego State).
Codex Of Your Culture
Culture is a gameworld. Gameworlds operate according to their written or unwritten Codex. In terms of a nanonation, the Codex includes EVERYTHING: land ownership, relationship to the land base, old people care, young learning how to be in the village from the elders, working outside the village, hold the context, basically say "No" to everything, recognize the offers and wait til they prove their worth to receive something. Welcoming and banishing people (the Guardians). What is work and vacation? What is heart food and soul food? Thoughtware checking, beliefs and religions, semi-permeable membrane, entertainment (TV? YouTube? Porn?), drugs, pets, alcohol, theater, music and dance spaces, Transformation, practice teams e.g. 3Cells, amoebic selection, decision making, property ownership, child raising, schooling...
Thoughtware
In school, you learned what to think about.
In transformational trainings you suddenly become aware of the consequences of what you have been unconsciously using to think with.
The insight may be devastating, but the resulting new possibilities gained from thoughtware upgrade can be more than wonderful.
The thing about using Standard Human Intelligence Thoughtware (S.H.I.T.) is that using it produces Standard Human Intelligence...

Box Technology
You have a Box.
You are not your Box.
Unless... nobody told you that you have a Box...
Living in a Box, eh?
Archiarchy
Archiarchy is next culture, the culture naturally emerging around the world now that matriarchy and patriarchy have run their course.
Archiarchy is regenerative human cultures centered on authentic adulthood initiatory processes and contexted in Radical Responsibility.
7 Core Skills
Your Gremlin
If you do not have your Gremlin sitting beside you in the car, guess who is driving...
Bright Principles
Your Bright Principles are your archetypal forces of clarity and possibility that you call into the spaces you hold and navigate.
Without distilling your Bright Principles, and without consciously choosing to be the space through which your Bright Principles do their work in the world, who are you working for?
Creating the more beautiful world your heart knows is possible begins by distilling and choosing your Bright Principles.
Archetypal Lineage
There are 4 Archetypal Lineage categories:
The Village needs all four intelligences. Which are you? What is your role in the Village? Who are your true allies in your work?
Initiations & Transformation
adolescent, adults, elders... are you distinguishing?
Adulthood
Adulthood is reinventing itself.
Don't get left behind playing in a stupid gameworld.
Authentic Adulthood and Archetypal Initiatory Processes
No one can get initiated for you.
No one can stop you from getting initiated.
What are you going to do about it?
8 Prisons
If you do not recognize you are in prison, why would you bother to try to get out?
This resource may take you on an intense transformational journey into dimensions of yourself you never realized were missing.
What are you waiting for?
Get out of prison now.
Or?
School Of Lost Borders
http://schooloflostborders.org/
Formal, authentic, transformational eleven-day vision fasting.

The Savory Global Network, comprised of Savory Hubs, Accredited Professionals, and Regenerating Members, advocates, trains, and supports land managers around the world to regenerate land in their own context through Holistic Management.
https://savory.global/our-network/
- Holistic Land Management hubs around the world and over ten million hectares in Holistic Land Management as of April 2020.
Permablitz
Permablitz (noun): An informal gathering involving a day on which a group of at least two people come together to achieve the following:
- create or add to edible gardens
- share skills related to permaculture and sustainable living
- build community
- have fun
The term permablitz is a contraction of permaculture and blitz, where a blitz simply means a focused effort to get something done.
Permablitzes are always free, public events, with free workshops and shared food, where you get some exercise and have a good time. To be defined as a permablitz each event must be underpinned by a permaculture design by someone with a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) – the most basic permaculture qualification. The network runs on reciprocity, and in order to qualify for a permablitz you usually need to come to some first.

and
how will you use technology?
Technopenuriaphobia (TPP) Healing
index.php?p=technopenuriaphobia
A generation ago we needed to invent the word 'technophobia', which means the fear of the coming technology.
Now we need a new word, 'technopenuriaphobia', which means the fear of the lack of technology. It is that deep fear of what happens when the elevator breaks and you are stuck there, when the car breaks down in the forest, when you your phone stops working, or there is no WiFi connection...
You know the feeling. It is the feeling of no longer being able to live on planet Earth.
Technopenuriaphobia can be healed. No one can heal it for you.

Finance & Economics
how do we make that everybody does not have to go outside the village to earn money and contaminate our gameworld, do we own things or do they own us, financial intimacy, archiarchal economics, groups of 4-5 people in financial flow, how to interact and trade with other village gameworlds
Become Money
If you become money, then, if you have yourself, you always have enough money.
How can you 'become money'?
How can you 'have yourself'?
These are authentic adulthood initiatory processes.
Gaias - exchanging authentic value
Money seemed like a good idea at first. But money has misbehaved. People started collecting money instead of exchanging value.
Fiat currency has no actual value.
It is possible to interact through exchanging authentic value without a medium of exchange.
Along these lines, we introduce the Gaia, a natural value currency.
Archiarchy Kiva Lending Team
Kiva.org is a personal online savings account where you can change someones life by giving them a no-interest loan of as little as $25.

You can join the Archiarchy Kiva Team, or create a Team of your own at Kiva.org!
You can have your money, and other people can use it whenever you are not. Is this utterly cool? Or what?
Post Growth - the regenerative not-for-profit future
A post growth economy puts life and everything needed to maintain it at the center of economic and social activity as opposed to the never-ending accumulation of money, and the pursuit of growth of all kinds without regard for its consequences.
