session overview video
Notes for a proposed summary video segment to be produced for community showcase and online viewership.
The rising spiral...gift culture in and around ELL
What is ELL? Brief intro to principles and origins.
How does it work? practices, embodiment, agility, 'day in the life'
Looking at how the program is supported by gifts from the community and local social capital; sharing gratitude
Personal accomplishments, insights, and reflections
Possible structure: "follow the gift" - earth, to harvest, to kitchen to table to Maker to success to share...
Secondary threads: personal development, community relationships, Solaqua project
Guiding questions:
1. What is ELL like / about? participants views, reflections from surrounding/supporting community
2. What is the nature of 'gift culture' and metacurrency econ? how are we living that?
3. What is the current 'reality' of progressive / sustainable culture, how can we apply our ideas there?
4. What was accomplished here, where does it lead next, how can we 'connect the dots' for 'phase change'
Aim for: 5 min total length, with 'extras'
