ELEMENTS

INFRASTRUCTURE

There will be several key elements to bring in-Spiral and all the dreams it can nurture to fruition.

ONLINE PRESENCE

This website is slowly developing. Ultimately it will consist of a private area for Collaborators, a paid area for Community Subscribers, and a general public area.

COLLABORATORS (BY INVITE ONLY)

• A directory of small businesses and sole traders that are involved, so they can be easily accessed by the public and by each other.
• An effective online project management system to make it easy to communicate and manage various projects.
• A system for quantifying and managing the imput all collaborators contribute to projects, so they can be ‘paid’ through cash or other capital.
• A forum for in-Spiral members to communicate about existing and potential in-Spiral projects.
• Collective memberships to paid sites such as Dropbox storage, project management, online booking system, graphic design, video editing and similar programs, image banks, Hootesuite, arts hub, and other sites as agreed to by the collective.
• Affiliate or Partnership program so we can sell each other’s products and services to aligned individuals and organisations.
• System for sharing resources with each other, such as some kind of online ledger, or a form of crypto, or other forms of exchange.

COMMUNITY / PARTNERS (PAID)

• Digital courses and workshops
• Community events such as webinars and networking
• Paid content such as videos and articles from collaborators
• Access to affiliate products and services to promote to their own networks
• 24 hour online global community for support and connection.

PUBLIC (FREE)

• An online shop offering products generated from in-Spiral collaborations, as well as other products inline with our ethos.
• in-Spiral TV featuring mini documentaries, digital classes, short films, even long films!, and other inspiring content such as ted talks, and mind expanding movies. There is a Youtube channel for now that you can access here; Youtube
• A calendar of events featuring in-Spiral members such as workshops, festivals, CD and book launches, art exhibitions and retreats.
• A blog and news section that in-Spiral members can contribute to to keep each other and the public updated on what we’re all up to!
• Our own social media platform with… no ads!

PHYSICAL LIVING AND WORKING COMMUNITIES

Ultimately I am looking to create an intentional community on a large acreage consisting of the following hubs;

• Cafe / gallery / performance space / library / reception. This area would be closest to the entrance of the property and the main public area.
• Performing arts centre to teach and produce dance, circus and theatre arts and music
• Creative arts centre focused around fine arts, writing, photography
• Wellness centre with treatment rooms, spa, mud baths, meditation and yoga space, all the yum
• Permaculture hub, focusing on the food and gardening elements of permaculture, while mindful of it’s applications in all areas of life
• Eco-building, home of the earthship builders, tipi makers, cob creators, yurt generators, upcycled goodness, solar power extravaganza, all the things!
• Science and Technology hub, where we can research and develop wonderful new technologies in service to all, and explore older technologies that have been laying dormant for generations.
• Spiritual hub, the centre of the spiral, where ceremony and sacred practice preside, where anyone can go at any time to connect to themselves, the earth, their deities in whatever form is most meaningful to them.

URBAN HUBS

A smaller version of the rural hubs, shop fronts with studios / offices / residence above, hotels run as communities, warehouses with workshops / studio space. All connected together by a community of co-creators.

GYPSY HUBS

A mobile mini festival bringing entertainment, information, workshops, products and inspiration to festivals and remote communities around the country.
