Grassroots Economy Festival: My Type of Party

June 23, 2010

As I continue exploring alternative ways of being in this world, I’m excited by people and groups who have moved past theoretical olympics or revolutionary diatribes against what is and into practical applications of what can be. I’m less concerned if these practitioners are perfect in the execution of their ideas. I’m more focused on their energy to act.

Toward that end, I’m pumped about this group called JASecon – Just Alternatives for a Sustainable Economy. In September 2009, they hosted a grassroots, bottom-up economy festival. More than 450 people and 50 organizations participated in a celebration for the emerging economy for the people and the planet. This is the type of activity that feeds my soul these days. Check out the video from the festival.
