The journey of ten-and-a-half lifetimes
Written by Julia Neumann
Possibilica Village Hub is a magical Being already now, in its very infant state. We’re not even sure it has been fully born, and yet it is definitely alive.
A little more than a week ago, we settled a piece of land in the Northern territory of Aotearoa, New Zealand. I say we because it was a team effort of 10 courageous human Beings, and we’re still working out the legalities of setting it up properly.
We are creating a Village of Radical Responsibility in the context of Possibility Management. That means our culture is far outside of modern culture (Patriarchy). It is “next culture”, Archearchy, the culture that comes after patriarchy has run its course. It is a culture of initiated adult women and men, it is sustainable, regenerative, and based on nonmaterial value. The Village is a Hub because we offer our research findings to the wider community, and human beings from all over the world can come and visit us to experiment and experience living in radical responsibility and taking the seeds of that experience with them into their village.
How we came to settle this particular piece of land was truly magical already and far outside modern culture.
I want to write it started three weeks ago when 2 of us voiced a clear Yes to living with each other, even if only in two, which caused 3 more to say Yes and eventually 2 more and so on. That’s not where it started though.
Maybe it started about 6 months ago when we had our first Zoom call about creating a living village together?
Maybe it started earlier than that, when some of us came together in an Expand the Box Training and continued to meet on a weekly basis for cutting edge research on radical responsibility? I still don’t think that’s quite it.
To be honest, it goes more like this: Each one of us had carried the seed for this Village for a long time, probably their whole life. Each one of us came to this life with a sense of “a different way of living and creating together as human beings is not only possible but absolutely necessary.” Necessary for our planet, for our species, and all other creatures on Earth. Maybe even for the universe, who knows? I am confident that even our youngest member, Nini, still in their mother’s womb until some time in June, carries that seed.
Ten and a half life times of knowing and intention are a powerful force of nature, it turns out. As we joined together and committed to bring this Village Hub fully to life, the magic unfolded and E.C.C.O. said Yes, too.
So here we go. The land, te whenua, is here. The people, he tangata, are here. Now we start weaving the Village Hub.
