- Report on the results of Sustainable Hospitality Exchange conference in Berlin
- Think about types of online network of hospitality for people traveling for long term, neo-nomads and alike
- Create business strategy based on gift economy to sustain nomad bases
- Think about systems of references for nomads and bases
- Practice Open Space, facilitation and consensus
- Exchange experiences of sustainable living while traveling
- Network people interested in these topics in the United States
Aimed results
- Achieve consensus on one of the proposed model
- Create a list of different models of nomadic bases and intentional living practices
- Create a list of potential nomad bases in New York
- Create a core working group in NY
- Create long lasting connections between participants
Invitation
Who are the neo-nomads? How do we travel? How do we survive on budget? How do we deal with borders? And foremost, how can we live together, learn, share, take decisions and cooperate? What are the experiences in United States and how do they differ/are similar to Europe?
A loose network of nomads, long term travelers, hackers, facilitators and hospitality exchange addicts is hosting a conference on (postmodern/neo)nomadic culture, with a strong focus on setting up spaces/bases/places that are open for nomads. The conference takes place in Berlin at the end of November. See http://sharewiki.org/en/she
As a follow up of this conference, a gathering has been set up in New York on the 5-6th of December. Hosted by Ganas, a well established intentional living community located in Staten Island, SHE in NYC has the goal of promoting neo-nomadic culture, long term traveling and the creation/connection of nomadic bases through brainstorming and sharing experiences from the field.
To discuss about these topics, we want to bring together:
- Nomadic travelers and nomadic workers
- Full-time Hospitality Hosts
- People interested in long term hospitality
- People interested in nomad culture
- People interested in Open Space and facilitation
- People interested setting up Real Social Networks
- People who live in larger shared houses intentional communities
- People interested in freeganism and utopias
- People interested in sharing skills on the topics mentioned above
Nomads living outside NY are invited to join and will be hosted at Ganas (up to 10 people). We hope to find hosts for the rest of the participants in NYC area.
For nomadic base we refer to any space in which long term travelers who believe in hospitality exchange can rest without feeling hosted. And where their participation to the base is essential.
