'''What is a Nomad?'''<br />
<br />
-Mike: <br />
One who travels, either permanently or often; Not having a homebase (ie. own apartment, no short term or long-term)<br />
<br />
-Sara: <br />
Agrees with 'no homebase'<br />
<br />
-Darryl: <br />
Thinks of classical definition of nomad as needing to travel for livelihood <br />
<br />
-Anton: <br />
Traveling to learn<br />
<br />
-Dan: <br />
neonomad definition versus classical definition of nomad<br />
-Division between physical location and mind: nomad can travel physically or mentally (life as a journey)<br />
<br />
-Jamie:<br />
-Key distinction (neo)nomads travel as a lifestyle choice vs classical nomads<br />
for livelihood<br />
-Distinction between nomads and refugees (not nomads, not by choice, looking for home)<br />
-Making some fundamental break with mainstream society -Hardcore nomad: no lease, bills, car, insurance, maybe not even bank account, financially independent<br />
<br />
-Someone: <br />
Nomad have to travel to sustain themselves. Someone else agree.<br />
<br />
-Valentina: <br />
Very important to draw this distinction between classical nomad and neo-nomad<br />
-Neo-nomad: someone who participates, shares, grows<br />
<br />
-Sarah: <br />
nomad is someone who is on the move. Wants to create a definition of nomad-base that is open to more people, not just for travel-savvy, trust-fund kids, but places open to more people that can include 'refugees', etc. Nomad bases would also serve people who may not self-identify as nomads, but need the space to stay.<br />
<br />
-Darryl: <br />
Agrees with Sara. Also agrees with neo-nomads "participating, sharing, growing"<br />
<br />
-Anton: <br />
Working to travel vs. Traveling to work. Nomads work to travel.<br />
<br />
-Jamie: <br />
Wants to figure out a way to effectively serve all these groups (nomads, refugees, migrant workers); Wants to be inclusive rather than exclusive, but figure out how to do this in a way that doesn't threaten security of the base<br />
<br />
-Valentina: <br />
Another element of neo-nomad culture – rather than consume, prefers to create. Doesn't go to places to exploit, but to create something (human connection, shelter, work of art, etc)<br />
<br />
Someone: <br />
neonomad have impact on communities.<br />
NO B/W definition but flexible, open.<br />
<br />
-Sarah: <br />
Wants to flesh out idea of nomad as NOT a tourist. Wants to talk about how we identify personally – where we are coming from and our motivations, in terms of practices and intentions rather than a strict definition.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Start of circle, discussing our backgrounds'''<br />
<br />
-Daryl: <br />
Was a pilgrim for a year and a half. Wasn't going to sightsee, but because he was interested in how he could learn and grow in a spiritual way. So was going to sacred, special places with teachers. Now thinks of nomad in terms of social justice and volunteering. nomad can also travel to perform/make art. they share and contribute. they affect surrounding communities in positive ways. A nomad is not a tourist.<br />
<br />
-Dan: <br />
connect a lot with what Darryl said – been considering myself a pilgrim lately, trying to find value in the process --- the journey, not the destination. This has been in some ways more obvious<br />
<br />
I've been traveling to learn, after growing up in a somewhat sheltered environment, to force myself to adapt to new experiences, environments people. I value change, balance. Search 4 situations that force you to adapt.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: <br />
3 points: nomads travel open-endedly, without a finite window of time. Tourists have a finite window. Neither is better nor worse, just different. Tourists vs. nomads. Pilgrim is a spiritual nomad, who looks at nomadism as a spiritual path. Also luminary, sabbatical travelers (professors, professionals)<br />
<br />
- Valentina: <br />
Agrees with all. Nomad is someone who travels as a lifestyle. What kind of nomad is Valentina? -- Nomadism doesn't have to be geographical or spatial movement, but can also be inner movement. She tries to challenge the borders of her ego – to put herself in a condition of perpetual travel, even if it isn't always through physical moving of spaces. She tries to take a spiritual, and psychological approach. Questioning herself, and the borders of her ego, and how ego can get in touch with other egos. What Neo-nomad is not: freeloader, consumer<br />
<br />
- Charlie:<br />
was a nomad for a while before he realized he was a nomad. Wherever he went along his journeys, he ended up staying in places where there were people around like family. More about emotional stability than locational stability. “Home is where your stuff is and home is where your heart is.” Everyone, deeply inside, is nomadic: they just did not figure out how to make it work.<br />
<br />
- Sara: <br />
Agrees with Darryl, about potential contribution in terms of social justice from nomads. Traveled after studying in Copenhagen. Especially in this world where most communication is spread by mass media, it's important for people to move around and personally share stories (storytelling) and learning opportunity. Agrees with Dan about importance of change leading to growth – that's why she wants to be on the move. To sum up: social justice & personal growth (knowing yourself). Also , relevance of storytelling and traveling <br />
<br />
<br />
- Anton: <br />
Being nomadic is largely an internal goal – way to step back and make sense of his reality in order to make clear decisions. <br />
<br />
<br />
'' 4:20 Break ''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''-What is a nomad base?'''<br />
<br />
-Matt: a place where someone can stay for an extended period of time. Definition of “extended” is not yet known. There must be some sort of contribution / participation, whether it's labor, financial, etc. This should be determined on a base to base basis. Expectation from Base to Nomad is: contribute to cleanliness and be clean. Expectation of nomad to base as very basic: shelter and security. Everything else cannot be expected.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Doesn't necessarily have to include roof over head, ie. Open air camping environments.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Anton: respect others and other's propriety.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie:Expectation of Nomad: Facilities and security and safety --- water and toilet, kitchen, trash, etc.<br />
<br />
Expectation of Bases: If it's a burner base, the BM 4 principles (no trace, radical self reliance, radical self expression, piss clear...)<br />
<br />
<br />
Valentina:<br />
-Would also like to have a base where she can leave stuff, storage. Also expects/wants internet access. Higher level expectations: family, community, connection, should not make her feel like a foreigner. No distinction between hosts and guests: inclusive. Space where she can do her own stuff – have time to create, whether it's art, e-mails, etc. <br />
<br />
-What base expects from nomad: Agrees with nomad having to contribute. Non-violence and respect.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Dan:<br />
Expectation of Base to Nomad: Cleanliness, leave no trace, some sort of contribution/participation – can be as basic as washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom. To more complex as<br />
Expectation of Nomad to Base: Security, Shelter as basics. Sense of family, participation. Social projects and community projects – artistic, humanitarian, ie. Food not bombs.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Charlie: Draws a distinction between what travelers can expect from a shelter on a very basic level sense, and what a nomad can expect from a Nomad Base. From a nomad base, he would expect to find other NOMADS. Nomad base as an exercise in sustainability. A place where that is work. Nomads can come and be helpful to the process, to help keep it sustainable. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Matt: Agrees with Charlie's distinction between Nomad Base and a crash pad. Thinks of it as a bit longer-term, not just for passing through.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Thinks what we're talking about now is more along the lines of an intentional community. Needs of nomads are central to a Nomad Base Intentional Community – they are who the community is for. Using the term intentional community in the sense of a group of people coming together for a purpose, who choose to create a community together. Nomads are centrals and are in the base with a specific purpose.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: What can one nomad base expect from another nomad base? networked bases, hub that is connected and connects. Helping nomads in finding other bases.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: Nomad bases can refer good nomads to each other. Distinction drawn between “referral” and “reference”. Nomads have to be trustworthy.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Different ideas exist about what safety/security means in a base, and what a good nomad is. Safety and respect mean different things to different people. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: We are operating under the assumption that all people are fundamentally good, until they prove themselves otherwise. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: In her ideal nomad base, there is a space for skill sharing. Learning sharing opportunities also pro<br />
<br />
<br />
-Anton: Transparency of operation. Every nomad, upon leaving a base, should have the necessary knowledge to setup a nomad base. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: If a nomad base is asking for money, there should be transparency of finances. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: Agrees with preceding principle, on the condition that the nomads are bearing the majority of the financial burden for the space. If they are a minority stakeholder, financial transparency is a the discretion of the landlord / majority stakeholder.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Charlie: A base should have a manual – ie. Garbage needs to go out on certain days, maps of where furniture goes depending on what types of events are being held. Anybody should be able to come in and know how things work in the base.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: In the military, it's called Standard Operating Procedures.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: Thinks of aforementioned manual more of an initial orientation, including advice about navigating the city, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: Should a nomad base be eco-friendly?<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: Been thinking about it, but I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Matt: No. More of a base by base definition. A goal but not a requirement.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: 3 levels of sustainability for a base. 1) Financial stability, being in the black. 2) Giving something back to community. With Brooklyn Urban Sanctuary, they're not just breaking even but living abundantly – long-term, 10 year goal.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Draw a distinction between nomad base and 'crash pad'. Nomads have to be central to run the base.<br />
<br />
<br />
''A NOMAD BASE IS A SPACE THAT FULFILL THE BASIC NEEDS (shelter, food, safety and security) of people in transition - geographical, spiritual- where the nomads themselves create a community that is central to run the place (they are the primary contributors). A base needs to support/provide infrastructure and info-structure (orientation, hub, connection). It is not a place to crash or an hostel. Nomads can stay extended period of time (eventually paying or contributing with work).''<br />

SHE_in_NYC, Day 2, Meeting Notes<br />
<br />
2:45pm – Introductions and Intentions<br />
<br />
3:00pm – Skype Conference Call with Robin, in Brussels<br />
<br />
-Robin: <br />
Berlin SHE conference recap – goal is to plant seeds for nomadic hospitality<br />
-There at least 40-50 people involved, staying in a place called Tea House – sot of a potential model for nomad base – business selling tea and food in front, sleeping space in back<br />
<br />
-Question by Dan: further recap of Berlin conference?<br />
Robin: <br />
-Aim of creating infrastructure for a new culture, gathering ideas, brainstorming outloud<br />
-Working definitions are not finalized, but in-progress drafts/notes have been put online<br />
-They have a list of 10 existing places that can be considered as nomad bases (“identities”) -- but are currently working to create a concept/identification model of what a Nomad base is and is not<br />
<br />
-Question by Sarah: Have you discussed outwards community involvement as pertains to Nomad Bases?<br />
Robin:<br />
-Example of a space in Milan that asks travelers to stay a minimum of one week and get involved with projects<br />
-Example of space in Tallin, Estonia – that organizes a community centre – travelers coming in can decide in which way they want to integrate with existing activities<br />
<br />
-Question by James: Can you elaborate on what you meant by 'new culture'?<br />
Robin:<br />
-Culture of sharing, exchange, thinking of others before self<br />
-”The race is over. There is no race.”<br />
-This culture is contrary to the type we grow up with in Western societies, but is the one that works best<br />
- promoting a idea of a “sharing culture”<br />
- citizens’ rights and responses when you come in. Share what you want; take what you can<br />
- societal, economic, and spiritual change. How to enable change in oneself? How to break your culture; give before take instead of using your elbows. A lot of social and economic models have been in place. Good balance of group and individual.<br />
<br />
-Question by Anton: What is the decision-making process? How will you decide which model to apply? <br />
Robin:<br />
-It's a very difficult question, and they are still working on figuring out the best way<br />
-If anyone is interested in getting involved, get involved through the Nomad Base website<br />
-Trying to avoid the mistakes that other hospitality networks have made<br />
- Through wiki and forum.<br />
<br />
-Question by Valentina: How do we define who is a nomad and who is not? How do we build a system of trust when deciding who can enter this network, in a non-judgmental way?<br />
Robin:<br />
-3 Models, none of which are satisfactory yet: <br />
-One option is to have network completely closed – only people can join through personal connections and being vouched for by others on the network<br />
-Option 2 it is to be completely open, anyone can join<br />
-Option 3 is hybrid model<br />
-Weren't able to come up with satisfactory answer in Berlin<br />
-Considering that a new member has to be personally vouched into the network<br />
-Don't want to do references on the website<br />
- Safety and security issues w/ an open network<br />
<br />
Question by Sarah: Do you have any questions for us?<br />
Robin:<br />
With all the overlap with other existing networks (WWOOF, CS, etc.), do you understand how the network we are trying to build is distinct from what is already out there?<br />
Daryl: Believes that we are trying to create a network with more sustainability in terms of relationships created through the website<br />
<br />
Question by Sarah: What are you working on right now after the Berlin gathering closed? What's a short term plan and general direction and goals?<br />
Robin:<br />
-We've been taking a break since Berlin<br />
-Next steps. There are 3 working groups in different locations.<br />
-Need to filter the information coming out of Berlin and New York and organize them into workable formats<br />
-Need to work more on the website, and focus more on working definitions that can be agreed on for the next meeteing<br />
-Going to plan 2 weekly meetings via IRC<br />
<br />
<br />
'''''4.00 pm: Open Space A –''''' <br />
<br />
'''How does a culture of nomadism contribute to broader society?'''<br />
<br />
- Daryl: It breaks down barriers that communities establish and the sense of Western individualism for a culture of sharism.<br />
<br />
- James: Nomad movement could be considered part of socialism.<br />
<br />
- Matt: Nomadism can spread through word of mouth; person to person; electronic capabilities.<br />
<br />
- Daryl: Establish the interconnectedness betw. ppl. places, etc... Nomads facilitate a growing, living organism that is the planet. He tells the experience of feeling life in loving trees. Nomadism helps sharing information.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How can nomadism keep places sustainable?'''<br />
<br />
- James: Nomads are ambassador to people of other nations, places, etc… Can spread philosophy: Culture of sharing; value added; making the world better<br />
<br />
- Daryl: Communities more interconnected; be autonomous and work w/ other communities.<br />
<br />
- Daryl and James: Nomads offer services; hosts teach skills; sharing info, etc… Carrying seeds of info: web of relationships and info.<br />
<br />
- Matt: <br />
Concern w/ skill-learning and easily accessible services: creation of tools when not needed; dumpster diving when not needed or exploited by other groups w/ diff. values that those of nomads.<br />
Most nomads are greatly concerned about preserving the environment. Therefore, there is strong correlation between nomadism and environmentalism.<br />
<br />
-Someone:An existing model is a “Smile networks”, an inclusive network whose rule is to always smile no matter what shit that happens.<br />
<br />
- Criteria for network Matt wants to establish:<br />
Responsible dissemination of information;<br />
Impt. to learn own skills before being reliant on nomad bases for everything;<br />
Lessons- simple, hard lessons ie how to respect someone else’ space, are impt. to have before using info;<br />
Nomad network- members must show dedication so tools responsible;<br />
Initiation system to make sure nomads would use info with discretion or appreciate tools;<br />
Being able to provide for safety- something Couchsurfing and other sites haven’t been fully able to do;<br />
If the network is open it would re-create what other sites have already done.<br />
<br />
-Darryl’s experience in San Marcos, a New Age attraction in South America, is that Westerners are taking advantage of indigenous. Could nomadism create an opportunity for change? Nomads should ground into local communities without exploiting (people, places) meanwhile traveling.<br />
<br />
-Matt: Nomads’ skills that they can share :Carpentry; cooking; intelligence that stems from not having a home base; ability to adapt to a place or “read” a place.<br />

-Sarah: Different ideas exist about what safety/security means in a base, and what a good nomad is. Safety and respect mean different things to different people. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: We are operating under the assumption that all people are fundamentally good, until they prove themselves otherwise. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: In her ideal nomad base, there is a space for skill sharing. Learning sharing opportunities also pro<br />
<br />
<br />
-Anton: Transparency of operation. Every nomad, upon leaving a base, should have the necessary knowledge to setup a nomad base. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: If a nomad base is asking for money, there should be transparency of finances. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: Agrees with preceding principle, on the condition that the nomads are bearing the majority of the financial burden for the space. If they are a minority stakeholder, financial transparency is a the discretion of the landlord / majority stakeholder.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Charlie: A base should have a manual – ie. Garbage needs to go out on certain days, maps of where furniture goes depending on what types of events are being held. Anybody should be able to come in and know how things work in the base.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: In the military, it's called Standard Operating Procedures.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: Thinks of aforementioned manual more of an initial orientation, including advice about navigating the city, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: Should a nomad base be eco-friendly?<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: Been thinking about it, but I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Matt: No. More of a base by base definition. A goal but not a requirement.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: 3 levels of sustainability for a base. 1) Financial stability, being in the black. 2) Giving something back to community. With Brooklyn Urban Sanctuary, they're not just breaking even but living abundantly – long-term, 10 year goal.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Draw a distinction between nomad base and 'crash pad'. Nomads have to be central to run the base.<br />
<br />
<br />
''A NOMAD BASE IS A SPACE THAT FULFILL THE BASIC NEEDS (shelter, food, safety and security) of people in transition - geographical, spiritual- where the nomads themselves create a community that is central to run the place (they are the primary contributors). A base needs to support/provide infrastructure and info-structure (orientation, hub, connection). It is not a place to crash or an hostel. Nomads can stay extended period of time (eventually paying or contributing with work).''<br />

SHE_in_NYC, Day 2, Meeting Notes<br />
<br />
2:45pm – Introductions and Intentions<br />
<br />
3:00pm – Skype Conference Call with Robin, in Brussels<br />
<br />
-Robin: <br />
Berlin SHE conference recap – goal is to plant seeds for nomadic hospitality<br />
-There at least 40-50 people involved, staying in a place called Tea House – sot of a potential model for nomad base – business selling tea and food in front, sleeping space in back<br />
<br />
-Question by Dan: further recap of Berlin conference?<br />
Robin: <br />
-Aim of creating infrastructure for a new culture, gathering ideas, brainstorming outloud<br />
-Working definitions are not finalized, but in-progress drafts/notes have been put online<br />
-They have a list of 10 existing places that can be considered as nomad bases (“identities”) -- but are currently working to create a concept/identification model of what a Nomad base is and is not<br />
<br />
-Question by Sarah: Have you discussed outwards community involvement as pertains to Nomad Bases?<br />
Robin:<br />
-Example of a space in Milan that asks travelers to stay a minimum of one week and get involved with projects<br />
-Example of space in Tallin, Estonia – that organizes a community centre – travelers coming in can decide in which way they want to integrate with existing activities<br />
<br />
-Question by James: Can you elaborate on what you meant by 'new culture'?<br />
Robin:<br />
-Culture of sharing, exchange, thinking of others before self<br />
-”The race is over. There is no race.”<br />
-This culture is contrary to the type we grow up with in Western societies, but is the one that works best<br />
- promoting a idea of a “sharing culture”<br />
- citizens’ rights and responses when you come in. Share what you want; take what you can<br />
- societal, economic, and spiritual change. How to enable change in oneself? How to break your culture; give before take instead of using your elbows. A lot of social and economic models have been in place. Good balance of group and individual.<br />
<br />
-Question by Anton: What is the decision-making process? How will you decide which model to apply? <br />
Robin:<br />
-It's a very difficult question, and they are still working on figuring out the best way<br />
-If anyone is interested in getting involved, get involved through the Nomad Base website<br />
-Trying to avoid the mistakes that other hospitality networks have made<br />
- Through wiki and forum.<br />
<br />
-Question by Valentina: How do we define who is a nomad and who is not? How do we build a system of trust when deciding who can enter this network, in a non-judgmental way?<br />
Robin:<br />
-3 Models, none of which are satisfactory yet: <br />
-One option is to have network completely closed – only people can join through personal connections and being vouched for by others on the network<br />
-Option 2 it is to be completely open, anyone can join<br />
-Option 3 is hybrid model<br />
-Weren't able to come up with satisfactory answer in Berlin<br />
-Considering that a new member has to be personally vouched into the network<br />
-Don't want to do references on the website<br />
- Safety and security issues w/ an open network<br />
<br />
Question by Sarah: Do you have any questions for us?<br />
Robin:<br />
With all the overlap with other existing networks (WWOOF, CS, etc.), do you understand how the network we are trying to build is distinct from what is already out there?<br />
Daryl: Believes that we are trying to create a network with more sustainability in terms of relationships created through the website<br />
<br />
Question by Sarah: What are you working on right now after the Berlin gathering closed? What's a short term plan and general direction and goals?<br />
Robin:<br />
-We've been taking a break since Berlin<br />
-Next steps. There are 3 working groups in different locations.<br />
-Need to filter the information coming out of Berlin and New York and organize them into workable formats<br />
-Need to work more on the website, and focus more on working definitions that can be agreed on for the next meeteing<br />
-Going to plan 2 weekly meetings via IRC<br />
<br />
<br />
'''''4.00 pm: Open Space A –''''' <br />
<br />
'''How does a culture of nomadism contribute to broader society?'''<br />
<br />
- It breaks down barriers that communities establish and the sense of Western individualism for a culture of sharism.<br />
<br />
- Nomad movement could be considered part of socialism.<br />
<br />
- Nomadism can spread through word of mouth; person to person; electronic capabilities.<br />
<br />
- Establish the interconnectedness betw. ppl. places, etc... Felt life in trees.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How can nomadism keep places sustainable?'''<br />
<br />
- Nomads are ambassador to people of other nations, places, etc…<br />
<br />
- Can spread philosophy: Culture of sharing; value added; making the world better<br />
<br />
- Communities more interconnected; be autonomous and work w/ other communities.<br />
<br />
- Nomads offer services; hosts teach skills; sharing info, skills, etc…<br />
<br />
- Carrying seeds of info: web of relationships and info.<br />
<br />
- Matt: <br />
Concern w/ skill-learning and easily accessible services: creation of tools when not needed; dumpster diving when not needed or exploited by other groups w/ diff. values that those of nomads.<br />
Most nomads are greatly concerned about preserving the environment. Therefore, there is strong correlation between nomadism and environmentalism.<br />
An existing model is a “Smile networks”, an inclusive network whose rule is to always smile no matter what shit that happens.<br />
<br />
- Criteria for network Matt wants to establish:<br />
Responsible dissemination of information;<br />
Impt. to learn own skills before being reliant on nomad bases for everything;<br />
Lessons- simple, hard lessons ie how to respect someone else’ space, are impt. to have before using info;<br />
Nomad network- members must show dedication so tools responsible;<br />
Initiation system to make sure nomads would use info with discretion or appreciate tools;<br />
Being able to provide for safety- something Couchsurfing and other sites haven’t been fully able to do;<br />
Matt thinks that if the network is open it would re-create what other sites have already done.<br />
<br />
Darryl’s experience in San Marcos, a New Age attraction in South Am, is that Westerners are taking advantage of indigenous. Could nomadism create an opportunity for change?<br />
<br />
-Nomads’ skills that they can share :Carpentry; cooking; intelligence that stems from not having a home base; ability to adapt to a place or “read” a place.<br />

'''Introduction (3pm)'''<br />
<br />
<br />
-Distinction between Tourist, Traveler, & Nomad<br />
-Nomads want to create (art, etc.)<br />
<br />
-Berlin Conference re-cap:<br />
<br />
-Nomad base goal, creating places where nomads can find a place to rest, sense of home<br />
-What are our expectations and hopes from a nomad base?<br />
<br />
-Participation & Contribution as essential values<br />
<br />
<br />
-Goals of SHE in NYC: create connections<br />
<br />
'''What is a Nomad?'''<br />
<br />
-Mike: <br />
One who travels, either permanently or often; Not having a homebase (ie. own apartment, no short term or long-term)<br />
<br />
-Sara: <br />
Agrees with 'no homebase'<br />
<br />
-Darryl: <br />
Thinks of classical definition of nomad as needing to travel for livelihood <br />
<br />
-Anton: <br />
Traveling to learn<br />
<br />
-Dan: <br />
neonomad definition versus classical definition of nomad<br />
-Division between physical location and mind: nomad can travel physically or mentally (life as a journey)<br />
<br />
-Jamie:<br />
-Key distinction (neo)nomads travel as a lifestyle choice vs classical nomads<br />
for livelihood<br />
-Distinction between nomads and refugees (not nomads, not by choice, looking for home)<br />
-Making some fundamental break with mainstream society -Hardcore nomad: no lease, bills, car, insurance, maybe not even bank account, financially independent<br />
<br />
-Someone: <br />
Nomad have to travel to sustain themselves. Someone else agree.<br />
<br />
-Valentina: <br />
Very important to draw this distinction between classical nomad and neo-nomad<br />
-Neo-nomad: someone who participates, shares, grows<br />
<br />
-Sarah: <br />
nomad is someone who is on the move. Wants to create a definition of nomad-base that is open to more people, not just for travel-savvy, trust-fund kids, but places open to more people that can include 'refugees', etc. Nomad bases would also serve people who may not self-identify as nomads, but need the space to stay.<br />
<br />
-Darryl: <br />
Agrees with Sara. Also agrees with neo-nomads "participating, sharing, growing"<br />
<br />
-Anton: <br />
Working to travel vs. Traveling to work. Nomads work to travel.<br />
<br />
-Jamie: <br />
Wants to figure out a way to effectively serve all these groups (nomads, refugees, migrant workers); Wants to be inclusive rather than exclusive, but figure out how to do this in a way that doesn't threaten security of the base<br />
<br />
-Valentina: <br />
Another element of neo-nomad culture – rather than consume, prefers to create. Doesn't go to places to exploit, but to create something (human connection, shelter, work of art, etc)<br />
<br />
Someone: <br />
neonomad have impact on communities.<br />
NO B/W definition but flexible, open.<br />
<br />
-Sarah: <br />
Wants to flesh out idea of nomad as NOT a tourist. Wants to talk about how we identify personally – where we are coming from and our motivations, in terms of practices and intentions rather than a strict definition.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Start of circle, discussing our backgrounds'''<br />
<br />
-Daryl: <br />
Was a pilgrim for a year and a half. Wasn't going to sightsee, but because he was interested in how he could learn and grow in a spiritual way. So was going to sacred, special places with teachers. Now thinks of nomad in terms of social justice and volunteering. nomad can also travel to perform/make art. they share and contribute. they affect surrounding communities in positive ways. A nomad is not a tourist.<br />
<br />
-Dan: <br />
connect a lot with what Darryl said – been considering myself a pilgrim lately, trying to find value in the process --- the journey, not the destination. This has been in some ways more obvious<br />
<br />
I've been traveling to learn, after growing up in a somewhat sheltered environment, to force myself to adapt to new experiences, environments people. I value change, balance. Search 4 situations that force you to adapt.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: <br />
3 points: nomads travel open-endedly, without a finite window of time. Tourists have a finite window. Neither is better nor worse, just different. Tourists vs. nomads. Pilgrim is a spiritual nomad, who looks at nomadism as a spiritual path. Also luminary, sabbatical travelers (professors, professionals)<br />
<br />
- Valentina: <br />
Agrees with all. Nomad is someone who travels as a lifestyle. What kind of nomad is Valentina? -- Nomadism doesn't have to be geographical or spatial movement, but can also be inner movement. She tries to challenge the borders of her ego – to put herself in a condition of perpetual travel, even if it isn't always through physical moving of spaces. She tries to take a spiritual, and psychological approach. Questioning herself, and the borders of her ego, and how ego can get in touch with other egos. What Neo-nomad is not: freeloader, consumer<br />
<br />
- Charlie:<br />
was a nomad for a while before he realized he was a nomad. Wherever he went along his journeys, he ended up staying in places where there were people around like family. More about emotional stability than locational stability. “Home is where your stuff is and home is where your heart is.” Everyone, deeply inside, is nomadic: they just did not figure out how to make it work.<br />
<br />
- Sara: <br />
Agrees with Darryl, about potential contribution in terms of social justice from nomads. Traveled after studying in Copenhagen. Especially in this world where most communication is spread by mass media, it's important for people to move around and personally share stories (storytelling) and learning opportunity. Agrees with Dan about importance of change leading to growth – that's why she wants to be on the move. To sum up: social justice & personal growth (knowing yourself). Also , relevance of storytelling and traveling <br />
<br />
<br />
- Anton: <br />
Being nomadic is largely an internal goal – way to step back and make sense of his reality in order to make clear decisions. <br />
<br />
<br />
'' 4:20 Break ''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''-What is a nomad base?'''<br />
<br />
-Matt: a place where someone can stay for an extended period of time. Definition of “extended” is not yet known. There must be some sort of contribution / participation, whether it's labor, financial, etc. This should be determined on a base to base basis. Expectation from Base to Nomad is: contribute to cleanliness and be clean. Expectation of nomad to base as very basic: shelter and security. Everything else cannot be expected.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Doesn't necessarily have to include roof over head, ie. Open air camping environments.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Anton: respect others and other's propriety.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie:Expectation of Nomad: Facilities and security and safety --- water and toilet, kitchen, trash, etc.<br />
<br />
Expectation of Bases: If it's a burner base, the BM 4 principles (no trace, radical self reliance, radical self expression, piss clear...)<br />
<br />
<br />
Valentina:<br />
-Would also like to have a base where she can leave stuff, storage. Also expects/wants internet access. Higher level expectations: family, community, connection, should not make her feel like a foreigner. No distinction between hosts and guests: inclusive. Space where she can do her own stuff – have time to create, whether it's art, e-mails, etc. <br />
<br />
-What base expects from nomad: Agrees with nomad having to contribute. Non-violence and respect.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Dan:<br />
Expectation of Base to Nomad: Cleanliness, leave no trace, some sort of contribution/participation – can be as basic as washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom. To more complex as<br />
Expectation of Nomad to Base: Security, Shelter as basics. Sense of family, participation. Social projects and community projects – artistic, humanitarian, ie. Food not bombs.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Charlie: Draws a distinction between what travelers can expect from a shelter on a very basic level sense, and what a nomad can expect from a Nomad Base. From a nomad base, he would expect to find other NOMADS. Nomad base as an exercise in sustainability. A place where that is work. Nomads can come and be helpful to the process, to help keep it sustainable. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Matt: Agrees with Charlie's distinction between Nomad Base and a crash pad. Thinks of it as a bit longer-term, not just for passing through.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Thinks what we're talking about now is more along the lines of an intentional community. Needs of nomads are central to a Nomad Base Intentional Community – they are who the community is for. Using the term intentional community in the sense of a group of people coming together for a purpose, who choose to create a community together. Nomads are centrals and are in the base with a specific purpose.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: What can one nomad base expect from another nomad base? networked bases, hub that is connected and connects. Helping nomads in finding other bases.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: Nomad bases can refer good nomads to each other. Distinction drawn between “referral” and “reference”. Nomads have to be trustworthy.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Different ideas exist about what safety/security means in a base, and what a good nomad is. Safety and respect mean different things to different people. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: We are operating under the assumption that all people are fundamentally good, until they prove themselves otherwise. <br />

'''What is a Nomad?'''<br />
<br />
-Mike: <br />
One who travels, either permanently or often; Not having a homebase (ie. own apartment, no short term or long-term)<br />
<br />
-Sara: <br />
Agrees with 'no homebase'<br />
<br />
-Darryl: <br />
Thinks of classical definition of nomad as needing to travel for livelihood <br />
<br />
-Anton: <br />
Traveling to learn<br />
<br />
-Dan: <br />
neonomad definition versus classical definition of nomad<br />
-Division between physical location and mind: nomad can travel physically or mentally (life as a journey)<br />
<br />
-Jamie:<br />
-Key distinction (neo)nomads travel as a lifestyle choice vs classical nomads<br />
for livelihood<br />
-Distinction between nomads and refugees (not nomads, not by choice, looking for home)<br />
-Making some fundamental break with mainstream society -Hardcore nomad: no lease, bills, car, insurance, maybe not even bank account, financially independent<br />
<br />
-Someone: <br />
Nomad have to travel to sustain themselves. Someone else agree.<br />
<br />
-Valentina: <br />
Very important to draw this distinction between classical nomad and neo-nomad<br />
-Neo-nomad: someone who participates, shares, grows<br />
<br />
-Sarah: <br />
nomad is someone who is on the move. Wants to create a definition of nomad-base that is open to more people, not just for travel-savvy, trust-fund kids, but places open to more people that can include 'refugees', etc. Nomad bases would also serve people who may not self-identify as nomads, but need the space to stay.<br />
<br />
-Darryl: <br />
Agrees with Sara. Also agrees with neo-nomads "participating, sharing, growing"<br />
<br />
-Anton: <br />
Working to travel vs. Traveling to work. Nomads work to travel.<br />
<br />
-Jamie: <br />
Wants to figure out a way to effectively serve all these groups (nomads, refugees, migrant workers); Wants to be inclusive rather than exclusive, but figure out how to do this in a way that doesn't threaten security of the base<br />
<br />
-Valentina: <br />
Another element of neo-nomad culture – rather than consume, prefers to create. Doesn't go to places to exploit, but to create something (human connection, shelter, work of art, etc)<br />
<br />
Someone: <br />
neonomad have impact on communities.<br />
NO B/W definition but flexible, open.<br />
<br />
-Sarah: <br />
Wants to flesh out idea of nomad as NOT a tourist. Wants to talk about how we identify personally – where we are coming from and our motivations, in terms of practices and intentions rather than a strict definition.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Start of circle, discussing our backgrounds'''<br />
<br />
-Daryl: <br />
Was a pilgrim for a year and a half. Wasn't going to sightsee, but because he was interested in how he could learn and grow in a spiritual way. So was going to sacred, special places with teachers. Now thinks of nomad in terms of social justice and volunteering. nomad can also travel to perform/make art. they share and contribute. they affect surrounding communities in positive ways. A nomad is not a tourist.<br />
<br />
-Dan: <br />
connect a lot with what Darryl said – been considering myself a pilgrim lately, trying to find value in the process --- the journey, not the destination. This has been in some ways more obvious<br />
<br />
I've been traveling to learn, after growing up in a somewhat sheltered environment, to force myself to adapt to new experiences, environments people. I value change, balance. Search 4 situations that force you to adapt.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: <br />
3 points: nomads travel open-endedly, without a finite window of time. Tourists have a finite window. Neither is better nor worse, just different. Tourists vs. nomads. Pilgrim is a spiritual nomad, who looks at nomadism as a spiritual path. Also luminary, sabbatical travelers (professors, professionals)<br />
<br />
- Valentina: <br />
Agrees with all. Nomad is someone who travels as a lifestyle. What kind of nomad is Valentina? -- Nomadism doesn't have to be geographical or spatial movement, but can also be inner movement. She tries to challenge the borders of her ego – to put herself in a condition of perpetual travel, even if it isn't always through physical moving of spaces. She tries to take a spiritual, and psychological approach. Questioning herself, and the borders of her ego, and how ego can get in touch with other egos. What Neo-nomad is not: freeloader, consumer<br />
<br />
- Charlie:<br />
was a nomad for a while before he realized he was a nomad. Wherever he went along his journeys, he ended up staying in places where there were people around like family. More about emotional stability than locational stability. “Home is where your stuff is and home is where your heart is.” Everyone, deeply inside, is nomadic: they just did not figure out how to make it work.<br />
<br />
- Sara: <br />
Agrees with Darryl, about potential contribution in terms of social justice from nomads. Traveled after studying in Copenhagen. Especially in this world where most communication is spread by mass media, it's important for people to move around and personally share stories (storytelling) and learning opportunity. Agrees with Dan about importance of change leading to growth – that's why she wants to be on the move. To sum up: social justice & personal growth (knowing yourself). Also , relevance of storytelling and traveling <br />
<br />
<br />
- Anton: <br />
Being nomadic is largely an internal goal – way to step back and make sense of his reality in order to make clear decisions. <br />
<br />
<br />
'' 4:20 Break ''<br />
<br />
<br />
'''-What is a nomad base?'''<br />
<br />
-Matt: a place where someone can stay for an extended period of time. Definition of “extended” is not yet known. There must be some sort of contribution / participation, whether it's labor, financial, etc. This should be determined on a base to base basis. Expectation from Base to Nomad is: contribute to cleanliness and be clean. Expectation of nomad to base as very basic: shelter and security. Everything else cannot be expected.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Doesn't necessarily have to include roof over head, ie. Open air camping environments.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Anton: respect others and other's propriety.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie:Expectation of Nomad: Facilities and security and safety --- water and toilet, kitchen, trash, etc.<br />
<br />
Expectation of Bases: If it's a burner base, the BM 4 principles (no trace, radical self reliance, radical self expression, piss clear...)<br />
<br />
<br />
Valentina:<br />
-Would also like to have a base where she can leave stuff, storage. Also expects/wants internet access. Higher level expectations: family, community, connection, should not make her feel like a foreigner. No distinction between hosts and guests: inclusive. Space where she can do her own stuff – have time to create, whether it's art, e-mails, etc. <br />
<br />
-What base expects from nomad: Agrees with nomad having to contribute. Non-violence and respect.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Dan:<br />
Expectation of Base to Nomad: Cleanliness, leave no trace, some sort of contribution/participation – can be as basic as washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom. To more complex as<br />
Expectation of Nomad to Base: Security, Shelter as basics. Sense of family, participation. Social projects and community projects – artistic, humanitarian, ie. Food not bombs.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Charlie: Draws a distinction between what travelers can expect from a shelter on a very basic level sense, and what a nomad can expect from a Nomad Base. From a nomad base, he would expect to find other NOMADS. Nomad base as an exercise in sustainability. A place where that is work. Nomads can come and be helpful to the process, to help keep it sustainable. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Matt: Agrees with Charlie's distinction between Nomad Base and a crash pad. Thinks of it as a bit longer-term, not just for passing through.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Thinks what we're talking about now is more along the lines of an intentional community. Needs of nomads are central to a Nomad Base Intentional Community – they are who the community is for. Using the term intentional community in the sense of a group of people coming together for a purpose, who choose to create a community together. Nomads are centrals and are in the base with a specific purpose.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: What can one nomad base expect from another nomad base? networked bases, hub that is connected and connects. Helping nomads in finding other bases.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: Nomad bases can refer good nomads to each other. Distinction drawn between “referral” and “reference”. Nomads have to be trustworthy.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Different ideas exist about what safety/security means in a base, and what a good nomad is. Safety and respect mean different things to different people. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: We are operating under the assumption that all people are fundamentally good, until they prove themselves otherwise. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: In her ideal nomad base, there is a space for skill sharing. Learning sharing opportunities also pro<br />
<br />
<br />
-Anton: Transparency of operation. Every nomad, upon leaving a base, should have the necessary knowledge to setup a nomad base. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: If a nomad base is asking for money, there should be transparency of finances. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: Agrees with preceding principle, on the condition that the nomads are bearing the majority of the financial burden for the space. If they are a minority stakeholder, financial transparency is a the discretion of the landlord / majority stakeholder.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Charlie: A base should have a manual – ie. Garbage needs to go out on certain days, maps of where furniture goes depending on what types of events are being held. Anybody should be able to come in and know how things work in the base.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: In the military, it's called Standard Operating Procedures.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: Thinks of aforementioned manual more of an initial orientation, including advice about navigating the city, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: Should a nomad base be eco-friendly?<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: Been thinking about it, but I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Matt: No. More of a base by base definition. A goal but not a requirement.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: 3 levels of sustainability for a base. 1) Financial stability, being in the black. 2) Giving something back to community. With Brooklyn Urban Sanctuary, they're not just breaking even but living abundantly – long-term, 10 year goal.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Draw a distinction between nomad base and 'crash pad'. Nomads have to be central to run the base.<br />
<br />
<br />
''A NOMAD BASE IS A SPACE THAT FULFILL THE BASIC NEEDS (shelter, food, safety and security) of people in transition - geographical, spiritual- where the nomads themselves create a community that is central to run the place (they are the primary contributors). A base needs to support/provide infrastructure and info-structure (orientation, hub, connection). It is not a place to crash or an hostel. Nomads can stay extended period of time (eventually paying or contributing with work).''<br />

Pilgrim is a spiritual nomad, who looks at nomadism as a spiritual path. Also luminary, sabbatical travelers (professors, professionals)<br />
<br />
- Valentina: <br />
Agrees with all. Nomad is someone who travels as a lifestyle. What kind of nomad is Valentina? -- Nomadism doesn't have to be geographical or spatial movement, but can also be inner movement. She tries to challenge the borders of her ego – to put herself in a condition of perpetual travel, even if it isn't always through physical moving of spaces. She tries to take a spiritual, and psychological approach. Questioning herself, and the borders of her ego, and how ego can get in touch with other egos. What Neo-nomad is not: freeloader, consumer<br />
<br />
- Charlie:<br />
was a nomad for a while before he realized he was a nomad. Wherever he went along his journeys, he ended up staying in places where there were people around like family. More about emotional stability than locational stability. “Home is where your stuff is and home is where your heart is.” Everyone, deeply inside, is nomadic: they just did not figure out how to make it work.<br />
<br />
- Sara: <br />
Agrees with Darryl, about potential contribution in terms of social justice from nomads. Traveled after studying in Copenhagen. Especially in this world where most communication is spread by mass media, it's important for people to move around and personally share stories (storytelling) and learning opportunity. Agrees with Dan about importance of change leading to growth – that's why she wants to be on the move. To sum up: social justice & personal growth (knowing yourself). Also , relevance of storytelling and traveling <br />
<br />
<br />
- Anton: <br />
Being nomadic is largely an internal goal – way to step back and make sense of his reality in order to make clear decisions. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
'''-What is a nomad base?'''<br />
<br />
-Matt: a place where someone can stay for an extended period of time. Definition of “extended” is not yet known. There must be some sort of contribution / participation, whether it's labor, financial, etc. This should be determined on a base to base basis. Expectation from Base to Nomad is: contribute to cleanliness and be clean. Expectation of nomad to base as very basic: shelter and security. Everything else cannot be expected.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Doesn't necessarily have to include roof over head, ie. Open air camping environments.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Anton: respect others and other's propriety.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie:Expectation of Nomad: Facilities and security and safety --- water and toilet, kitchen, trash, etc.<br />
<br />
Expectation of Bases: If it's a burner base, the BM 4 principles (no trace, radical self reliance, radical self expression, piss clear...)<br />
<br />
<br />
Valentina:<br />
-Would also like to have a base where she can leave stuff, storage. Also expects/wants internet access. Higher level expectations: family, community, connection, should not make her feel like a foreigner. No distinction between hosts and guests: inclusive. Space where she can do her own stuff – have time to create, whether it's art, e-mails, etc. <br />
<br />
-What base expects from nomad: Agrees with nomad having to contribute. Non-violence and respect.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Dan:<br />
Expectation of Base to Nomad: Cleanliness, leave no trace, some sort of contribution/participation – can be as basic as washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom. To more complex as<br />
Expectation of Nomad to Base: Security, Shelter as basics. Sense of family, participation. Social projects and community projects – artistic, humanitarian, ie. Food not bombs.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Charlie: Draws a distinction between what travelers can expect from a shelter on a very basic level sense, and what a nomad can expect from a Nomad Base. From a nomad base, he would expect to find other NOMADS. Nomad base as an exercise in sustainability. A place where that is work. Nomads can come and be helpful to the process, to help keep it sustainable. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Matt: Agrees with Charlie's distinction between Nomad Base and a crash pad. Thinks of it as a bit longer-term, not just for passing through.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Thinks what we're talking about now is more along the lines of an intentional community. Needs of nomads are central to a Nomad Base Intentional Community – they are who the community is for. Using the term intentional community in the sense of a group of people coming together for a purpose, who choose to create a community together. Nomads are centrals and are in the base with a specific purpose.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: What can one nomad base expect from another nomad base? networked bases, hub that is connected and connects. Helping nomads in finding other bases.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: Nomad bases can refer good nomads to each other. Distinction drawn between “referral” and “reference”. Nomads have to be trustworthy.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Different ideas exist about what safety/security means in a base, and what a good nomad is. Safety and respect mean different things to different people. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: We are operating under the assumption that all people are fundamentally good, until they prove themselves otherwise. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: In her ideal nomad base, there is a space for skill sharing. Learning sharing opportunities also pro<br />
<br />
<br />
-Anton: Transparency of operation. Every nomad, upon leaving a base, should have the necessary knowledge to setup a nomad base. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: If a nomad base is asking for money, there should be transparency of finances. <br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: Agrees with preceding principle, on the condition that the nomads are bearing the majority of the financial burden for the space. If they are a minority stakeholder, financial transparency is a the discretion of the landlord / majority stakeholder.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Charlie: A base should have a manual – ie. Garbage needs to go out on certain days, maps of where furniture goes depending on what types of events are being held. Anybody should be able to come in and know how things work in the base.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: In the military, it's called Standard Operating Procedures.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: Thinks of aforementioned manual more of an initial orientation, including advice about navigating the city, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Valentina: Should a nomad base be eco-friendly?<br />
<br />
<br />
-Daryl: Been thinking about it, but I don't know.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Matt: No. More of a base by base definition. A goal but not a requirement.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: 3 levels of sustainability for a base. 1) Financial stability, being in the black. 2) Giving something back to community. With Brooklyn Urban Sanctuary, they're not just breaking even but living abundantly – long-term, 10 year goal.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Sarah: Draw a distinction between nomad base and 'crash pad'. Nomads have to be central to run thebase.<br />
<br />
<br />
''A NOMAD BASE IS A SPACE THAT FULFILL THE BASIC NEEDS (shelter, food, safety and security) of people in transition - geographical, spiritual- where the nomads themselves create a community that is central to run the place (they are the primary contributors).<br />
<br />
A base needs to support/provide infrastructure and info-structure (orientation, hub, connection).<br />
<br />
It is not a place to crash or an hostel.<br />
<br />
Nomads can stay extended period of time (eventually paying or contributing with work).''<br />

<br />
Saturday, 5th, Brooklyn Urban Sanctuary<br />
Introduction (3pm)<br />
<br />
<br />
-Distinction between Tourist, Traveler, & Nomad<br />
-Nomads want to create (art, etc.)<br />
<br />
-Berlin Conference re-cap:<br />
<br />
-Nomad base goal, creating places where nomads can find a place to rest, sense of home<br />
-What are our expectations and hopes from a nomad base?<br />
<br />
-Participation & Contribution as essential values<br />
<br />
<br />
-Goals of SHE in NYC:<br />
-create connections<br />
<br />
<br />
1. What is a Nomad?<br />
<br />
-Mike: <br />
One who travels, either permanently or often; Not having a homebase (ie. own apartment, no short term or long-term)<br />
<br />
-Sara: <br />
Agrees with 'no homebase'<br />
<br />
-Darryl: <br />
Thinks of classical definition of nomad as needing to travel for livelihood <br />
<br />
-Anton: <br />
Traveling to learn<br />
<br />
-Dan: <br />
neonomad definition versus classical definition of nomad<br />
-Division between physical location and mind: nomad can travel physically or mentally (life as a journey)<br />
<br />
-Jamie:<br />
Key distinction -- (neo)nomads travel as a lifestyle choice vs classical nomads<br />
for livelihood<br />
-Distinction between nomads and refugees (not nomads, not by choice, looking for home)<br />
-Making some fundamental break with mainstream society -Hardcore nomad: no lease, bills, car, insurance, maybe not even bank account, financially independent<br />
<br />
-Someone: <br />
Nomad have to travel to sustain themselves. Someone else agree.<br />
<br />
-Valentina: <br />
Very important to draw this distinction between classical nomad and neo-nomad<br />
-Neo-nomad: someone who participates, shares, grows<br />
<br />
-Sarah: <br />
nomad is someone who is on the move. Wants to create a definition of nomad-base that is open to more people, not just for travel-savvy, trust-fund kids, but places open to more people that can include 'refugees', etc. Nomad bases would also serve people who may not self-identify as nomads, but need the space to stay.<br />
<br />
-Darryl: <br />
Agrees with Sara. Also agrees with neo-nomads "participating, sharing, growing"<br />
<br />
-Anton: <br />
Working to travel vs. Traveling to work. Nomads work to travel.<br />
<br />
-Jamie: <br />
Wants to figure out a way to effectively serve all these groups (nomads, refugees, migrant workers); Wants to be inclusive rather than exclusive, but figure out how to do this in a way that doesn't threaten security of the base<br />
<br />
-Valentina: <br />
Another element of neo-nomad culture – rather than consume, prefers to create. Doesn't go to places to exploit, but to create something (human connection, shelter, work of art, etc)<br />
<br />
Someone: <br />
neonomad have impact on communities.<br />
NO B/W definition but flexible, open.<br />
<br />
-Sarah: <br />
Wants to flesh out idea of nomad as NOT a tourist. Wants to talk about how we identify personally – where we are coming from and our motivations, in terms of practices and intentions rather than a strict definition.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Start of circle, discussing our backgrounds<br />
<br />
-Daryl: <br />
Was a pilgrim for a year and a half. Wasn't going to sightsee, but because he was interested in how he could learn and grow in a spiritual way. So was going to sacred, special places with teachers. Now thinks of nomad in terms of social justice and volunteering. nomad can also travel to perform/make art. they share and contribute. they affect surrounding communities in positive ways. A nomad is not a tourist.<br />
<br />
-Dan: <br />
connect a lot with what Darryl said – been considering myself a pilgrim lately, trying to find value in the process --- the journey, not the destination. This has been in some ways more obvious<br />
<br />
I've been traveling to learn, after growing up in a somewhat sheltered environment, to force myself to adapt to new experiences, environments people. I value change, balance. Search 4 situations that force you to adapt.<br />
<br />
<br />
-Jamie: <br />
3 points: nomads travel open-endedly, without a finite window of time. Tourists have a finite window. Neither is better nor worse, just different. Tourists vs. nomads. Pilgrim is a spiritual nomad, who looks at nomadism as a spiritual path. Also luminary, sabbatical travelers (professors, professionals)<br />
<br />

==What is a nomad base?==<br />
<br />
A '''nomad base''' is a shared living space where all inhabitants can feel like hosts or in other words: 'at home'. It is a place where the inhabitants - how temporary they may stay - feel at home, do their 'thing' and can learn and share at the same time with the other people who live there. A shared culture of '''participation''' in common activities (household and events for example) as well as mutual care among inhabitants and visitors are highly necessary for these spaces to remain [[sustainable]].<br />
<br />
The values of [[sustainable sustainability]], [[sharing]] and openness are central. A nomad base does not exist for the sake of financial profit.<br />
<br />
A nomad base can be a [[shared living]] space (like a house, an [[eco-village]] or [[intentional community]]) rented, owned or [[squatted]] by one or more individuals who decide to also share this space with [[nomads]]. It could also be a temporary space on a temporary location like some piece of (squatted) land. Each location might have their own specific culture, aspiration, focus, terms of living, minimum or maximum length of stay, intentions, and so on.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Characteristics==<br />
What are characteristics that 'define' a nomadbase? What does a place needs to have to be labelled as such?<br />
<br />
* Open for nomads<br />
* Shared living?<br />
<br />
==The limits of nomad bases==<br />
<br />
''See the [[Talk:Nomadbase|discussion page]] for ongoing brainstorming''<br />
<br />
==Manifesto==<br />
Work is being done on a [[nomad base manifest|manifest]] that can be publicized in various cities through [[hospitality exchange]] networks and forums, inspiring and inviting other "houses" to join a nomad-base network or inspire other individuals that are already using their houses as nomad bases to connect with each other.<br />
<br />
The intention of this manifesto is not to set any specific rules or definitions of what a nomad base should be, but describe certain potential properties/tendencies/intentions of nomadic bases, the kind of dynamics likely to develop in such bases, etc.<br />
<br />
==Nomadbase Network==<br />
A Nomadbase-network would be a network of nomads and nomadbases: a network of nomads, long term travelers, skillsurfers, etc, with places and bases that are open for shared living. See also [[Nomadbase-Network]] and [[Models_of_Nomadic_Networks]].<br />
<br />
Nomadbases could also stay in touch with each other, exchange on ideas, processes and experiences.<br />
<br />
==Conference==<br />
There might be many nomad-bases around the world, though these are not so much connected with each other yet. To help creating a network of these spaces, the website [http://nomadbase.org nomadbase.org] was started January 2009. To make new connections between houses, spaces and nomadic travelers, a [[she|conference]] is taking place in Berlin from 20 of November of 2009 to 2nd of December: [[SHE goes MAD]].<br />
<br />
==Date-line==<br />
* January 2009 [http://nomadbase.org/ nomadbase.org] is in an alpha stage.<br />
* August 2009 [https://we.riseup.net/nomadbase Nomadbase] is now a group on [[crabgrass]] to discuss the feature-list and on [https://code.brueckenschlaeger.de/projects/nomads/ redmine] to discuss code-development. Discussion currently focuses on using a branch of [[crabgrass]].<br />
* November 2009: An unconference about nomad-bases: [[SHE goes MAD]]<br />
* December 2009: An unconference about nomad-bases in USA: SHE NY http://sharewiki.org/en/She_nyc<br />

Work is being done on a [[nomad base manifest|manifest]] that can be publicized in various cities through [[hospitality exchange]] networks and forums, inspiring and inviting other "houses" to join a nomad-base network or inspire other individuals that are already using their houses as nomad bases to connect with each other.<br />
<br />
The intention of this manifesto is not to set any specific rules or definitions of what a nomad base should be, but describe certain potential properties/tendencies/intentions of nomadic bases, the kind of dynamics likely to develop in such bases, etc.<br />
<br />
==Nomadbase Network==<br />
A Nomadbase-network would be a network of nomads and nomadbases: a network of nomads, long term travelers, skillsurfers, etc, with places and bases that are open for shared living. See also [[Nomadbase-Network]] and [[Models_of_Nomadic_Networks]].<br />
<br />
Nomadbases could also stay in touch with each other, exchange on ideas, processes and experiences.<br />
<br />
==Conference==<br />
There might be many nomad-bases around the world, though these are not so much connected with each other yet. To help creating a network of these spaces, the website [http://nomadbase.org nomadbase.org] was started January 2009. To make new connections between houses, spaces and nomadic travelers, a [[she|conference]] is taking place in Berlin from 20 of November of 2009 to 2nd of December: [[SHE goes MAD]].<br />

==What is a nomad base?==<br />
<br />
A '''nomad base''' is a shared living space where all inhabitants can feel like hosts or in other words: 'at home'. It is a place where the inhabitants - how temporary they may stay - feel at home, do their 'thing' and can learn and share at the same time with the other people who live there. A shared culture of '''participation''' in common activities (household and events for example) as well as mutual care among inhabitants and visitors are highly necessary for these spaces to remain [[sustainable]].<br />
<br />
The values of [[sustainable sustainability]], [[sharing]] and openness are central. A nomad base does not exist for the sake of financial profit.<br />
<br />
A nomad base can be a [[shared living]] space (like a house, an [[eco-village]] or [[intentional community]]) rented, owned or [[squatted]] by one or more individuals who decide to also share this space with [[nomads]]. It could also be a temporary space on a temporary location like some piece of (squatted) land. Each location might have their own specific culture, aspiration, focus, terms of living, minimum or maximum length of stay, intentions, and so on.<br />

* Create long lasting connections between participants<br />
<br />
==Invitation==<br />
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?<br />
<br />
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<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
To discuss about these topics, we want to bring together:<br />
*Nomadic travelers and nomadic workers<br />
*Full-time Hospitality Hosts<br />
*People interested in long term hospitality<br />
*People interested in nomad culture<br />
*People interested in Open Space and facilitation<br />
*People interested setting up Real Social Networks<br />
*People who live in larger shared houses intentional communities<br />
*People interested in freeganism and utopias<br />
*People interested in sharing skills on the topics mentioned above<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
== Open Space Technology ==<br />
<br />
In conferences, important things happen during coffee breaks. There participants discuss what really matters to them. They exchange ideas, laugh, sorrows, network and plan projects. Based on this phenomenon Open Space emerged. In other words, Open Space is one big break – with all its characteristics: energetic, self-organizing, adapted by participants to their needs, unpredictable, chaotic, spontaneous, very productive and definitely fun.<br />
<br />
'''Open Space in a nutshell'''<br />
'''Four Principles'''<br />
<br />
1.Whoever comes is the right people.<br />
2.Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.<br />
3.Whenever it starts is the right time.<br />
4.When it is over, it is over.<br />
'''<br />
and One Law...'''''<br />
Law of Two Feet: every individual has two feet, and must be prepared to use them. Individuals can make a difference and must make a difference. If that is not true in a given situation, they, and they alone, must take responsibility to use their two feet, and move to a new place where they can make a difference.<br />
<br />
'''No preset agenda'''<br />
<br />
People come together in a circle. After the opening of the space everyone has the opportunity to post issues and questions they care for. Within the first hour and a half of the gathering, participants create an agenda and self-organize in parallel breakout sessions.<br />
<br />
'''Self-organization'''<br />
<br />
Every issue may be addressed. In order to move forward, there is no better way than to start from what a person is passionate about. All those who share the same or a similar interest, question or concern get together to work on it. Team learning and cooperation take place. The potential for commitment is increased because participants take ownership of issues and procedures. That way, most hidden resources of the system are activated.<br />
'''<br />
The role of the facilitator'''<br />
<br />
Following the welcome and the opening of the space by the sponsor the Open Space facilitator introduces the process. Afterwards the facilitator´s main task is to hold time and space. Non-intervention keeps the space open for self-organization and the unfolding of the power of the participants and the system. The facilitator knows that participants are competent and able to manage all situations – even when there is a lot of conflict. Using this approach the result is powerful effective learning, planning, decision-making and acting. It strengthens what is already there: passion, participation, responsibility and performance.ù<br />
'''<br />
Prerequisites for Open Space Technology gatherings'''<br />
<br />
Open Space Technology is not a recipe for every situation. It is a great approach for exploring issues, planning for the future, navigating through chaos and conflict, building teams, improving communication and re-/ energizing an organization. It is not useful in situations in which people think they know the answer already. Leaders who initiate Open Space must be ready for the unexpected and open to change. Their intention should be transparent. The theme for the meeting should represent a real issue of interest.<br />
<br />
Given the following preconditions Open Space “rocks”<br />
<br />
· high levels of complexity in terms of the issues to be dealt with<br />
<br />
· high levels of diversity in terms of the participants and the system(s) that will have to promote the issues<br />
<br />
· high levels of actual or potential conflict (and therefore passion<br />
<br />
· a decision needed yesterday<br />
<br />
· answer(s) unknown [HO 1997:39]<br />

'''Formerly Unanswered Questions<br />
(Read: some of the topic of the gathering)'''<br />
<br />
<br />
==Who is a nomad?==<br />
<br />
A nomad is someone who believes that traveling (physically or mentally) is a way to learn (about others and about themselves) and to experience life. Some of the nomads travel for work, others for study, others to learn from random encounters on the road.<br />
<br />
Some have been nomadic in the past, others are nomadic by spirit. Nomads use to change locations often, and are mostly laptop equipped. Some are long-term travelers. others seasonal workes or volunteers.<br />
Also, the networks of journeymen/women in Germany and France have a<br />
very long tradition in this field, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeyman).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Who is organizing this event?==<br />
This event is a follow up of a similar gathering happening in Berlin from the 20th to the 30th of November, or maybe even longer. See http://sharewiki.org/en/she.<br />
The event in Berlin has been collectively organized by a loose network of nomads, skillsurfers, hackers, open space fanatics and hospitality exchange addicts.<br />
<br />
In NY, the event is organized by Valentina, one of the hospitality exchange addict mentioned above. It is also organised by you.<br />
<br />
==What is the final goal of the Berlin conference?==<br />
The final dream is to set up spaces/bases/places that are open for nomads. On a smaller scale, we want to promote nomadism and make it easier for nomads to go beyond conventional housing, jobs and schooling, and create new real social networks.<br />
<br />
In essence, we would like to create a shared way of living/ cooperating that goes beyond borders, and which brings people together.<br />
<br />
==What is a nomad base?==<br />
This is topic of open discussion. The 'bases' we aspire to should encourage more cooperation, sharing and solidarity between the participants and should be a vehicle for<br />
experimenting with social/political activism, exchange of nomadic skills and crafts, as well as nomadic cooperatives and other business models, practical skillsharing, etc.<br />
<br />
==What is hospitality exchange?==<br />
The initiative for nomadbases is one that is closely related to hospitality<br />
exchange. In the past 5 years we have seen a great leap forward in this<br />
field, examples include networks such as http://bewelcome.org and<br />
http://couchsurfing.org See for an overview here: http://couchwiki.org/en/A_Brief_History_of_Hospitality_Exchange_Networks<br />
<br />
Hospitality Exchange Networks sounds great! What is the difference with what you want to do?<br />
Yes, they are great! Whereas hospitality exchange has a focus on (free) short-term accomodation, we would like to go beyond this model and step into the world of rather long-term hospitality. What we would like to see is a network of bases that are shared with (neo)nomads.<br />
<br />
In essence what we would like to accomplish is a sustainable network of communities, houses, farms, squats, collaborative work-spaces, etc. that are open for shared living with people that travel as a way of life. These places would be in essence autonomous nodes within a larger network that function as convergence places to teach/learn/share and to meet<br />
like-minded people who you can connect with and work on projects<br />
together.<br />
<br />
==So there are many nomad bases around?==<br />
Yes! More than what we think! But they do not necessarily define themselves as such.<br />
You have a nomad base everytime one person decides to give free access to nomads for long term periods. Sometimes nomads organize themselves into collectives and intentional living houses for a longer period, before moving on.<br />
<br />
==Let’s speak about SHE in NYC: Do I have to pay something?==<br />
<br />
No! The gathering is for free. <br />
This is the basic rule of hospitality. You are the host here! Behave consequently.<br />
<br />
However there are costs connected to food and some donation for the Urban Sanctuary will be asked. Because these are donations for the space, if you work and can afford them, please contribute. If you cannot afford them, just let people know and pay as you wish.<br />
<br />
==There is going to be food?==<br />
Yes! One of the workshops is dumpster diving food in the neighborhood (on Friday night, the 4th, and then on Saturday night again) and to cook it together. Contribution to buy additional good will be welcome.<br />
<br />
==What if I need a place to sleep?==<br />
You are welcome! We will try to accommodate all the ones who need a place to sleep because coming from far. Bring your sleeping bag and camping mattress and we will find you a spot somewhere.<br />
<br />
==How long does the gathering last?==<br />
<br />
The gathering will start on Friday night at 7pm in Brooklyn: hosts from the area will meet up to gather food together. This will be the perfect occasion to learn more about dumpster diving! Then Saturday morning at 12.00 will meet up at the Brooklyn Urban Sanctuary, in Park Slope area. The event will continue on Sunday at ganas , in Staten Island. It will conclude at 18.00.<br />
People who need a place where to sleep, will be hosted from Friday until Sunday.<br />
There might be car rides to Staten Island for Sunday morning.<br />
<br />
==What are the conferences about?==<br />
There are no conferences intended as such. People will gather in groups talking of their needs, dreams and experiences.<br />
<br />
Everything is open. We want everyone to be the host: this is your event! Find out what you want to talk about. We will share these questions at the beginning of the event but you can also already share these on the google group.<br />
<br />
==What form/structure the meetings will take?==<br />
The meetings will use an [[Open Space]] approach.<br />
<br />
There is no fixed agenda and participants themselves will set up topics at the start of the conference. We share our intentions of why we come together, and feed our common agenda based on the main questions we have. We will group these questions around specific categories of type of meetings we want.<br />
<br />
This also means that separate topics could be discussed in different spaces at the same time. At the same time, people could be discussing technical stuff, while other people meet to discuss the culture of a nomadbase. Participants vote with their feet: you go where you feel at place - where you feel/ think you can learn or contribute.<br />
<br />
==How can I participate?==<br />
If you are reading this, you are on the right track!<br />
This is an event that we build up together and to do so, a good start is to get to know each other beforehand.<br />
Send an email to the group:''' she_nyc@googlegroups.com.'''<br />
<br />
In your profile on google group (http://groups.google.com/group/she_nyc), list your blog, your interests, your profile in hospitality exchange (if you have one).<br />
<br />
Introduce yourself and state your expectations.<br />
Someone will go back to you with an offer of hospitality.<br />
<br />
==Why do you organize this?==<br />
Valentina is organizing SHE in NY because she believes that neo-nomadism is a way to experience freedom and learning about yourself and the others. Living in a nomad base changed her life: it empowered her to dream and it gave her a sense of family and community when she had any.<br />
Therefore, she wants to share this experience with others. Plus, when she does not spend her time in front of a laptop, she is a quite sociable person and wants to have a blast with amazing people like you. :P<br />

==Invitation==<br />
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?<br />
<br />
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<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
To discuss about these topics, we want to bring together:<br />
*Nomadic travelers and nomadic workers<br />
*Full-time Hospitality Hosts<br />
*People interested in long term hospitality<br />
*People interested in nomad culture<br />
*People interested in Open Space and facilitation<br />
*People interested setting up Real Social Networks<br />
*People who live in larger shared houses intentional communities<br />
*People interested in freeganism and utopias<br />
*People interested in sharing skills on the topics mentioned above<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

20.00 Conclusions<br />
<br />
== Open Space Technology ==<br />
<br />
In conferences, important things happen during coffee breaks. There participants discuss what really matters to them. They exchange ideas, laugh, sorrows, network and plan projects. Based on this phenomenon Open Space emerged. In other words, Open Space is one big break – with all its characteristics: energetic, self-organizing, adapted by participants to their needs, unpredictable, chaotic, spontaneous, very productive and definitely fun.<br />
<br />
'''Open Space in a nutshell'''<br />
'''Four Principles'''<br />
<br />
1.Whoever comes is the right people.<br />
2.Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.<br />
3.Whenever it starts is the right time.<br />
4.When it is over, it is over.<br />
'''<br />
and One Law...'''''<br />
Law of Two Feet: every individual has two feet, and must be prepared to use them. Individuals can make a difference and must make a difference. If that is not true in a given situation, they, and they alone, must take responsibility to use their two feet, and move to a new place where they can make a difference.<br />
<br />
'''No preset agenda'''<br />
<br />
People come together in a circle. After the opening of the space everyone has the opportunity to post issues and questions they care for. Within the first hour and a half of the gathering, participants create an agenda and self-organize in parallel breakout sessions.<br />
<br />
'''Self-organization'''<br />
<br />
Every issue may be addressed. In order to move forward, there is no better way than to start from what a person is passionate about. All those who share the same or a similar interest, question or concern get together to work on it. Team learning and cooperation take place. The potential for commitment is increased because participants take ownership of issues and procedures. That way, most hidden resources of the system are activated.<br />
'''<br />
The role of the facilitator'''<br />
<br />
Following the welcome and the opening of the space by the sponsor the Open Space facilitator introduces the process. Afterwards the facilitator´s main task is to hold time and space. Non-intervention keeps the space open for self-organization and the unfolding of the power of the participants and the system. The facilitator knows that participants are competent and able to manage all situations – even when there is a lot of conflict. Using this approach the result is powerful effective learning, planning, decision-making and acting. It strengthens what is already there: passion, participation, responsibility and performance.ù<br />
'''<br />
Prerequisites for Open Space Technology gatherings'''<br />
<br />
Open Space Technology is not a recipe for every situation. It is a great approach for exploring issues, planning for the future, navigating through chaos and conflict, building teams, improving communication and re-/ energizing an organization. It is not useful in situations in which people think they know the answer already. Leaders who initiate Open Space must be ready for the unexpected and open to change. Their intention should be transparent. The theme for the meeting should represent a real issue of interest.<br />
<br />
Given the following preconditions Open Space “rocks”<br />
<br />
· high levels of complexity in terms of the issues to be dealt with<br />
<br />
· high levels of diversity in terms of the participants and the system(s) that will have to promote the issues<br />
<br />
· high levels of actual or potential conflict (and therefore passion<br />
<br />
· a decision needed yesterday<br />

== Open Space Technology ==<br />
<br />
In conferences, important things happen during coffee breaks. There participants discuss what really matters to them. They exchange ideas, laugh, sorrows, network and plan projects. Based on this phenomenon Open Space emerged. In other words, Open Space is one big break – with all its characteristics: energetic, self-organizing, adapted by participants to their needs, unpredictable, chaotic, spontaneous, very productive and definitely fun.<br />
<br />
'''Open Space in a nutshell'''''Italic text''<br />
'''Four Principles'''<br />
<br />
1.Whoever comes is the right people.<br />
2.Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.<br />
3.Whenever it starts is the right time.<br />
4.When it is over, it is over.<br />
'''<br />
and One Law...'''''<br />
Law of Two Feet: every individual has two feet, and must be prepared to use them. Individuals can make a difference and must make a difference. If that is not true in a given situation, they, and they alone, must take responsibility to use their two feet, and move to a new place where they can make a difference.<br />
<br />
'''No preset agenda'''<br />
<br />
People come together in a circle. After the opening of the space everyone has the opportunity to post issues and questions they care for. Within the first hour and a half of the gathering, participants create an agenda and self-organize in parallel breakout sessions.<br />
<br />
'''Self-organization'''<br />
<br />
Every issue may be addressed. In order to move forward, there is no better way than to start from what a person is passionate about. All those who share the same or a similar interest, question or concern get together to work on it. Team learning and cooperation take place. The potential for commitment is increased because participants take ownership of issues and procedures. That way, most hidden resources of the system are activated.<br />
'''<br />
The role of the facilitator'''<br />
<br />
Following the welcome and the opening of the space by the sponsor the Open Space facilitator introduces the process. Afterwards the facilitator´s main task is to hold time and space. Non-intervention keeps the space open for self-organization and the unfolding of the power of the participants and the system. The facilitator knows that participants are competent and able to manage all situations – even when there is a lot of conflict. Using this approach the result is powerful effective learning, planning, decision-making and acting. It strengthens what is already there: passion, participation, responsibility and performance.ù<br />
'''<br />
Prerequisites for Open Space Technology gatherings'''<br />
<br />
Open Space Technology is not a recipe for every situation. It is a great approach for exploring issues, planning for the future, navigating through chaos and conflict, building teams, improving communication and re-/ energizing an organization. It is not useful in situations in which people think they know the answer already. Leaders who initiate Open Space must be ready for the unexpected and open to change. Their intention should be transparent. The theme for the meeting should represent a real issue of interest.<br />

* Create a list of different models of nomadic bases and intentional living practices<br />
* Create a list of potential nomad bases in USA<br />
* Create a core working group in NY<br />
* Create long lasting connections between participants<br />
<br />
==Invitation==<br />
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?<br />
<br />
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<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
To discuss about these topics, we want to bring together:<br />
*Nomadic travelers and nomadic workers<br />
*Full-time Hospitality Hosts<br />
*People interested in long term hospitality<br />
*People interested in nomad culture<br />
*People interested in Open Space and facilitation<br />
*People interested setting up Real Social Networks<br />
*People who live in larger shared houses intentional communities<br />
*People interested in freeganism and utopias<br />
*People interested in sharing skills on the topics mentioned above<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
==What is a nomad base?==<br />
<br />
A '''nomad base''' is a shared living space where all inhabitants can feel like hosts or in other words: 'at home'. It is a place where the inhabitants - how temporary they may stay - feel at home, do their 'thing' and can learn and share at the same time with the other people who live there. A shared culture of '''participation''' in common activities (household and events for example) as well as mutual care among inhabitants and visitors are highly necessary for these spaces to remain [[sustainable]].<br />
<br />
The values of [[sustainable sustainability]], [[sharing]] and openness are central. A nomad base does not exist for the sake of financial profit.<br />
<br />
A nomad base can be a [[shared living]] space (like a house, an [[eco-village]] or [[intentional community]]) rented, owned or [[squatted]] by one or more individuals who decide to also share this space with [[nomads]]. It could also be a temporary space on a temporary location like some piece of (squatted) land. Each location might have their own specific culture, aspiration, focus, terms of living, minimum or maximum length of stay, intentions, and so on.<br />
<br />
* See also [[Models of Nomadic Co-Living]]<br />
<br />
==Characteristics==<br />
What are characteristics that 'define' a nomadbase? What does a place needs to have to be labelled as such?<br />
<br />
* Open for nomads<br />
* Shared living?<br />
<br />
==The limits of nomad bases==<br />
<br />
''See the [[Talk:Nomadbase|discussion page]] for ongoing brainstorming''<br />
<br />
==Manifesto==<br />
Work is being done on a [[nomad base manifest|manifest]] that can be publicized in various cities through [[hospitality exchange]] networks and forums, inspiring and inviting other "houses" to join a nomad-base network or inspire other individuals that are already using their houses as nomad bases to connect with each other.<br />
<br />
The intention of this manifesto is not to set any specific rules or definitions of what a nomad base should be, but describe certain potential properties/tendencies/intentions of nomadic bases, the kind of dynamics likely to develop in such bases, etc.<br />
<br />
==Nomadbase Network==<br />
A Nomadbase-network would be a network of nomads and nomadbases: a network of nomads, long term travelers, skillsurfers, etc, with places and bases that are open for shared living. See also [[Nomadbase-Network]] and [[Models_of_Nomadic_Networks]].<br />
<br />
Nomadbases could also stay in touch with each other, exchange on ideas, processes and experiences.<br />
<br />
==Conference==<br />
There might be many nomad-bases around the world, though these are not so much connected with each other yet. To help creating a network of these spaces, the website [http://nomadbase.org nomadbase.org] was started January 2009. To make new connections between houses, spaces and nomadic travelers, a [[she|conference]] is taking place in Berlin from 20 of November of 2009 to 2nd of December: [[SHE goes MAD]].<br />
<br />
==Date-line==<br />
* January 2009 [http://nomadbase.org/ nomadbase.org] is in an alpha stage.<br />
* August 2009 [https://we.riseup.net/nomadbase Nomadbase] is now a group on [[crabgrass]] to discuss the feature-list and on [https://code.brueckenschlaeger.de/projects/nomads/ redmine] to discuss code-development. Discussion currently focuses on using a branch of [[crabgrass]].<br />
* November 2009: An unconference about nomad-bases: [[SHE goes MAD]]<br />
* December 2009: An unconference about nomad-bases in USA: [[SHE NY]]<br />

<div>This page is the drafting of a social contract for the nomadbase project. Its aim is:<br />
*To state binding guidelines on what the project aims at and what it will never aim at<br />
*To make public the fact that nomadbase has an ''intention'' behind it.<br />

<br />
==Here it goes==<br />
<br />
===It is about the community===<br />
Nomadbase aims at facilitating community-building. It is to be run by the community, for the community. The interest of the community is the interest of nomadbase. Participants are encouraged to become involved in the decision that affect them.<br />
<br />
===Free of charge, now and forever===<br />
Participants cannot be demanded financial contribution.<br />
<br />
===Open source and transparency===<br />
Whether it is the software used, the cultural material used or produced, the intentions shared, being opened is a priority. No copyright.<br />
Nomadbase doesn't hide problems. It achieves the highest level of organisational transparency.<br />
<br />
===Total tolerance===<br />
Regardless of race, gender, socio-cultural background, and other criteria of discrimination.<br />
<br />
===My data, my life===<br />
Participants stay owner of the information they give. They are the one to decide what is done with it. In particular, nomadbase doesn't, and will never sell, share or distribute personal data without the explicit consent of their owner. Participants can hide, modify, export or remove any bit of it. They can cancel their participation anytime.<br />

<div>Dante:<br />
<br />
looking forward to brainstorm collectively on how we may describe certain characteristics of a nomad base.<br />
<br />
I imagine such description, ( a nomad base manifesto ? ) can then be publicized in various cities through hospitality networks and forums, inspiring and inviting other "houses" to join a nomadbase network. ( or inspire other individuals that are already using their houses as nomad bases to connect with each other ).<br />
<br />
I feel such brainstorming would not set any specific rules or definitions of what a nomad base should be,<br />
but describe certain potential properties/tendencies/intentions of nomadic bases, the kind of dynamics likely to develop in such bases, ...<br />

==What a nomad base is not==<br />
<br />
Should there be any restriction? This section is just questioning.<br />
<br />
A nomad base is like a [[hackerspace]], but you can sleepthere too...<br />
<br />
Can a rural community of hippies that don't have internet be a nomadbase?<br />
<br />
Can a nomadbase organise lucrative event (dinner, sell alcohol)<br />
:No financial condition to participate. Donations are acceptable. (what's about minimum donations?)<br />
:For non-necessary controversial items like alcohol, it is ok to demand financial contribution.<br />
:If nomadbase cannot be lucrative, what is the position of eco-friendly farms and cooperatives in the network? <br />
: necessity to explode the difference between lucrative and supportive events/contributions. <br />
<br />
Can nomads be asked to work in exchange of accommodation and food? if yes, with what extent?<br />
<br />
Can nomads be asked to contribute by buying food?<br />
<br />
In substance: how can a nomad base sustain itself?<br />
<br />
Can a hierarchical network of bases become a nomad base or collaborate with it? (See hobos: more discussion/understanding needed)<br />
<br />
Do we have positions regarding drugs (heavy/light) and alcohol? Or is every base free to decide?<br />
<br />
<br />
Can local homeless people live in a nomad base.<br />
:This kind of up to each base. It goes a bit against the "nomad" tag, but hey...</div>69.112.199.217https://sharewiki.org/w/index.php?title=SHE_goes_MAD&diff=1410SHE goes MAD2009-11-22T23:01:47Z<p>69.112.199.217: /* Online Presence */</p>

'''SHE goes MAD''' is a proposed conference to take place in Berlin towards the end of November 2009. The aim of the conference is to connect people whose intention is to set up a network of [[nomadspace|nomadic spaces]], spaces where [[nomads]] feel at home. It is essentially also a conference on our shared nomadic culture.<br />
<br />
==SHE==<br />
She stands for Sustainable Hospitality Exchange. SHE was also a conference that [http://www.bevolunteer.org/wiki/SHE took place] in Amsterdam, june 2008. '''SHE goes MAD''' is the proposed title for the conference in Berlin. MAD stands for nomadic but MAD in itself is just too cool to not use.<br />
<br />
==Schedule==<br />
* 20.11.2009 - 27.11.2009 Work meetings<br />
* 27.11.2009 - 30.11.2009 Main conference<br />
:Opening Session on the 27th late afternoon.<br />
<br />
See also [[SHE_goes_MAD#Proposed_Schedule|Proposed Schedule]]<br />
<br />
==Open Space==<br />
The format of the conference will be an [[open space]] format. There is no fixed agenda and participants themselves will set up topics once the conference starts. We will share our intentions of why we come together, and feed our common agenda based on the main questions we have. We will group these questions around specific categories of type of meetings we want to have. This is an ongoing process.<br />
<br />
This also means that separate topics could be discussed in different spaces at the same time. At the same time, people could be discussing technical stuff, while other people meet to discuss the culture of a nomadbase. Participants vote with their feet: you go where you feel at place - where you feel/ think you can learn or contribute.<br />
<br />
Basically, whenever two people are together discussing a related topic, a meeting has started. Topics can also change during the conference, depending on how things move along.<br />
<br />
Spaces would for example include:<br />
* Meeting space A, B and C (need naming)<br />
* Social space (for 'off-topic')<br />
* Skill-share space A and B <br />
<br />
==Online Presence==<br />
We also intend to have interaction with people who are unable to attend the conference. During the conference, notes will be taken and put online on a wiki. We also will invite the non-attending participants to start discussions. We will ''try'' to stream specific meetings, and set up a tele/videoconference.<br />
<br />
<br />
I will be there online at least a bit<br />
<br />
for streaming I recommend Bambuser<br />
<br />
<br />
Valentina will try to be connected via skype (valentina_c.) on the following dates:<br />
* Tuesday 24rd : 12h - Brainstorm session - Models of Nomadic Co-Living<br />
* Wednesday 25th: 13h - Art of Hosting and open space<br />
* Thursday 26th : PV project<br />
<br />
What it is needed in Berlin to make the connection possible: one laptop (possibly with webcam), speakers, and skype access.<br />
<br />
==Topics==<br />
A common way of starting a gathering like this is to first do an introduction rounds in a big group or even smaller groups, to share our intentions and questions.<br />
<br />
It is important for people to feel comfortable with each other, so they feel free to exchange their knowledge and their thoughts without reservations. It is sometimes better to have multiple smaller meetings, than one big meeting for this. What also works well is to have a box where people can write down their main questions for what they want to learn/ get out of the meeting, before making some form of (dynamic) agenda. Or to have a huge board/ white sheet where people can add their topics and/or proposed meetings.<br />
<br />

==Proposed Schedule==<br />
<br />
The schedule is made as we go. There are two parts of the (un)conference; the actual conference takes place in the last weekend of November and takes an open space format. Hence there is no fixed agenda, just location and maybe a rough time-schedule Before and possibly even after the conference sponteneous meetings take place. <br />
<br />
Please add suggestions for the agenda, we will add these also here: http://nomadbase.org/calendar where (if we would like to enable this) you can also sign up if you're coming.<br />
<br />
It seemed logical to start with more defining nomad-oriented activities as they are preparatory to more NomadBase-oriented discussions.<br />
<br />
===Friday 20th - 20.00h. Teahouse===<br />
:Social meet up at location Tea-house. At 8pm opening of The Mobile [http://www.pascaldumont.net/English/Photos.html Photo-exposition]. Food and drinks provided (donation?).<br />
: ''[http://sharewiki.org/w/index.php?title=SHE_goes_MAD&action=edit&section=6 add event]''<br />
<br />
===Saturday 21st===<br />
:''13h - Sharing session'' - '''Welcome to NoMad's-Land''' - Teahouse<br />
:: This sharing session aims at trying to find elements of culture (concepts, symbols, practices, values...) that are shared within the neo-nomad's sub-culture in order to understand better the challenges we face and the ways we can support each other in overcoming them (potentially by sharing resources, or through NomadBases, etc).<br />
::This session ''does not'' aim at defining what a nomad is and what it is not (and therefore exclude anyone).<br />
:''16h - Meetup to share ideas/ proposals/ technical matters'' - Teahouse<br />
:''Dinner'' Time and Place?<br />
<br />
===Sunday 22nd===<br />
: ''14h-16h'' - '''Brunch''' - Scherer8<br />
:: The biggest & tastiest brunch of Berlin for a 'suggested donation' of 2 Euro, should be active again. Currently Brunch every two weeks, next one Sunday 22 November at 14:00. Location is Schererstraße 8 in Wedding. (Actually the real location is just around the corner in Adolfstraße.) When the brunch is active it's <i>definitely</i> worthwhile to go there, at the same time it would be good to have an alternative plan in case the bruch 'happens' to be cancelled. <br />
:''17h - Sharing session'' - '''Nomads get personal'''<br />
:: This is a moment to get deeper within neo-nomadic culture and discuss everything listed in the Personal/Social relations section of the [[SHE_goes_MAD#Topics|Topics]]: Interaction between ourselves and more "fixed" people, intimate relationships and family, creating and maintaining stable reference points, our role in society, how we are perceived, social recognition, participation in long-term projects, etc. By understanding more our reality and its challenges, we are better able to name our needs and pool our resources in wider projects. <br />
<br />
===Monday 23rd===<br />
: ''+/- 12h to 17h'' - '''Visiting nature'''<br />
: No organiser with route description, spontaneous walk instead? <br />
:: Meeting Place: Ubahn Alt-Tegel, at the corner of Berliner Strasse and Gorkistrasse.<br />
:: Beautiful forestwalk & spontaneous conversations: Proposed is a 7 km hike through the forest with a lunch brake at an ancient tree which has been around since the 11th century! Meeting place will be Metrostop Alt-Tegel (Last stop of U6). Actual meeting place&time might change depending on the amount of sunshine, <i>please check back last minute for actual time!!</i><br />
:: Host??<br />
:: Meetup location?<br />
: All day: working and socialising in the Tea House - Join the fun (and bring your laptop or you will feel lonely).<br />
: ''[http://sharewiki.org/w/index.php?title=SHE_goes_MAD&action=edit&section=6 add event]''<br />
<br />
===Tuesday 24rd===<br />
: ''12h - Brainstorm session'' - '''Models of Nomadic Co-Living'''<br />
:: A brainstorm on mapping different models of different types of nomadbases. From collective housing where nomads can life, to single-households, squats, eco-villages and other forms of communities. All brainstorming goes directly on sharewiki. <br />
:: Host: Robino<br />
:: Location: Tea-house<br />
: ''13h - 15h Lunch Preparation'' <br />
:: Location: Teahouse<br />
: '''16h Open Everything''' <br />

<div>This page is the drafting of a social contract for the nomadbase project. Its aim is:<br />
*To state binding guidelines on what the project aims at and what it will never aim at<br />
*To make public the fact that nomadbase has an ''intention'' behind it.<br />

<br />
==Here it goes==<br />
<br />
===It is about the community===<br />
Nomadbase aims at facilitating community-building. It is to be run by the community, for the community. The interest of the community is the interest of nomadbase. Participants are encouraged to become involved in the decision that affect them.<br />
<br />
===Free of charge, now and forever===<br />
Participants cannot be demanded financial contribution.<br />
<br />
===Open source and transparency===<br />
Whether it is the software used, the cultural material used or produced, the intentions shared, being opened is a priority. No copyright.<br />
Nomadbase doesn't hide problems. It achieves the highest level of organisational transparency.<br />
<br />
===Total tolerance===<br />
Regardless of race, gender, socio-cultural background, and other criteria of discrimination.<br />
<br />
===My data, my life===<br />
Participants stay owner of the information they give. They are the one to decide what is done with it. In particular, nomadbase doesn't, and will never sell, share or distribute personal data without the explicit consent of their owner. Participants can hide, modify, export or remove any bit of it. They have can cancel their participation anytime.<br />

meant as a gift through intentional "ability to response", and not an expectation to comply / not as a restrictive "obligation".<br />
A parallel can be made with certain aspects of copylefted licenses : in such kind of libre licenses , the intention is to leave created value open to others to add value to. An encouragement to "positive liberty" :<br />

'''Formerly Unanswered Questions<br />
(Read: some of the topic of the gathering)'''<br />
<br />
<br />
==Who is a nomad?==<br />
<br />
A nomad is someone who believes that traveling (physically or mentally) is a way to learn (about others and about themselves) and to experience life. Some of the nomads travel for work, others for study, others to learn from random encounters on the road.<br />
<br />
Some have been nomadic in the past, others are nomadic by spirit. Nomads use to change locations often, and are mostly laptop equipped. Some are long-term travelers. others seasonal workes or volunteers.<br />
Also, the networks of journeymen/women in Germany and France have a<br />
very long tradition in this field, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeyman).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Who is organizing this event?==<br />
This event is a follow up of a similar gathering happening in Berlin from the 20th to the 30th of November, or maybe even longer. See http://sharewiki.org/en/she.<br />
The event in Berlin has been collectively organized by a loose network of nomads, skillsurfers, hackers, open space fanatics and hospitality exchange addicts.<br />
<br />
In NY, the event is organized by Valentina, one of the hospitality exchange addict mentioned above. It is also organised by you.<br />
<br />
==What is the final goal of the Berlin conference?==<br />
The final dream is to set up spaces/bases/places that are open for nomads. On a smaller scale, we want to promote nomadism and make it easier for nomads to go beyond conventional housing, jobs and schooling, and create new real social networks.<br />
<br />
In essence, we would like to create a shared way of living/ cooperating that goes beyond borders, and which brings people together.<br />
<br />
==What is a nomad base?==<br />
This is topic of open discussion. The 'bases' we aspire to should encourage more cooperation, sharing and solidarity between the participants and should be a vehicle for<br />
experimenting with social/political activism, exchange of nomadic skills and crafts, as well as nomadic cooperatives and other business models, practical skillsharing, etc.<br />
<br />
==What is hospitality exchange?==<br />
The initiative for nomadbases is one that is closely related to hospitality<br />
exchange. In the past 5 years we have seen a great leap forward in this<br />
field, examples include networks such as http://bewelcome.org and<br />
http://couchsurfing.org See for an overview here: http://couchwiki.org/en/A_Brief_History_of_Hospitality_Exchange_Networks<br />
<br />
Hospitality Exchange Networks sounds great! What is the difference with what you want to do?<br />
Yes, they are great! Whereas hospitality exchange has a focus on (free) short-term accomodation, we would like to go beyond this model and step into the world of rather long-term hospitality. What we would like to see is a network of bases that are shared with (neo)nomads.<br />
<br />
In essence what we would like to accomplish is a sustainable network of communities, houses, farms, squats, collaborative work-spaces, etc. that are open for shared living with people that travel as a way of life. These places would be in essence autonomous nodes within a larger network that function as convergence places to teach/learn/share and to meet<br />
like-minded people who you can connect with and work on projects<br />
together.<br />
<br />
==So there are many nomad bases around?==<br />
Yes! More than what we think! But they do not necessarily define themselves as such.<br />
You have a nomad base everytime one person decides to give free access to nomads for long term periods. Sometimes nomads organize themselves into collectives and intentional living houses for a longer period, before moving on.<br />
<br />
==Let’s speak about SHE in NYC: Do I have to pay something?==<br />
<br />
No! The gathering is for free. This is the basic rule of hospitality. You are the host here! Behave consequently.<br />
<br />
==There is going to be food?==<br />
Yes! One of the workshops is dumpster diving food in the neighborhood (on Friday night, the 4th, and then on Saturday night again) and to cook it together. Contribution to buy additional good will be welcome.<br />
<br />
==What if I need a place to sleep?==<br />
You are welcome! We will try to accommodate all the ones who need a place to sleep because coming from far. Bring your sleeping bag and camping mattress and we will find you a spot somewhere.<br />
<br />
==how long does the gathering last?==<br />
<br />
The gathering will start on Friday night at 8pm in Brooklyn: hosts from the area will meet up to gather food together. This will be the perfect occasion to learn more about dumpster diving! Then Saturday morning at 11.00 will we start gathering together. The event will probably conclude on Sunday evening at 18.00.<br />
People who need a place where to sleep, will be hosted from Friday until Sunday if needed.<br />
<br />
==What are the conferences about?==<br />
There are no conferences intended as such. People will gather in groups talking of their needs, dreams and experiences.<br />
<br />
Everything is open. We want everyone to be the host: this is your event! Find out what you want to talk about. We will share these questions at the beginning of the event but you can also already share these on the google group.<br />
<br />
==What form/structure the meetings will take?==<br />
The meetings will use an [[Open Space]] approach.<br />
<br />
There is no fixed agenda and participants themselves will set up topics at the start of the conference. We share our intentions of why we come together, and feed our common agenda based on the main questions we have. We will group these questions around specific categories of type of meetings we want.<br />
<br />
This also means that separate topics could be discussed in different spaces at the same time. At the same time, people could be discussing technical stuff, while other people meet to discuss the culture of a nomadbase. Participants vote with their feet: you go where you feel at place - where you feel/ think you can learn or contribute.<br />
<br />
==How can I participate?==<br />
If you are reading this, you are on the right track!<br />
This is an event that we build up together and to do so, a good start is to get to know each other beforehand.<br />
Send an email to the group:''' she_nyc@googlegroups.com.'''<br />
<br />
In your profile on google group (http://groups.google.com/group/she_nyc), list your blog, your interests, your profile in hospitality exchange (if you have one).<br />
<br />
Introduce yourself and state your expectations.<br />
Someone will go back to you with an offer of hospitality.<br />
<br />
==Why do you organize this?==<br />
Valentina is organizing SHE in NY because she believes that neo-nomadism is a way to experience freedom and learning about yourself and the others. Living in a nomad base changed her life: it empowered her to dream and it gave her a sense of family and community when she had any.<br />
Therefore, she wants to share this experience with others. Plus, when she does not spend her time in front of a laptop, she is a quite sociable person and wants to have a blast with amazing people like you. :P</div>69.112.199.217https://sharewiki.org/w/index.php?title=SHE_New_York_City&diff=1370SHE New York City2009-11-21T22:04:21Z<p>69.112.199.217: </p>

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?<br />
<br />
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<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
To discuss about these topics, we want to bring together:<br />
*Nomadic travelers and nomadic workers<br />
*Full-time Hospitality Hosts<br />
*People interested in long term hospitality<br />
*People interested in nomad culture<br />
*People interested in Open Space and facilitation<br />
*People interested setting up Real Social Networks<br />
*People who live in larger shared houses intentional communities<br />
*People interested in freeganism and utopias<br />
*People interested in sharing skills on the topics mentioned above<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

'''Formerly Unanswered Questions<br />
(Read: some of the topic of the gathering)'''<br />
<br />
<br />
==Who is a nomad?==<br />
<br />
A nomad is someone who believes that traveling (physically or mentally) is a way to learn (about others and about themselves) and to experience life. Some of the nomads travel for work, others for study, others to learn from random encounters on the road.<br />
<br />
Some have been nomadic in the past, others are nomadic by spirit. Nomads use to change locations often, and are mostly laptop equipped. Some are long-term travelers. others seasonal workes or volunteers.<br />
Also, the networks of journeymen/women in Germany and France have a<br />
very long tradition in this field, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeyman).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Who is organizing this event?==<br />
This event is a follow up of a similar gathering happening in Berlin from the 20th to the 30th of November, or maybe even longer. See http://sharewiki.org/en/she.<br />
The event in Berlin has been collectively organized by a loose network of nomads, skillsurfers, hackers, open space fanatics and hospitality exchange addicts.<br />
<br />
In NY, the event is organized by Valentina, one of the hospitality exchange addict mentioned above.<br />
<br />
==What is the final goal of the Berlin conference?==<br />
The final dream is to set up spaces/bases/places that are open for nomads. On a smaller scale, we want to promote nomadism and make it easier for nomads to go beyond conventional housing, jobs and schooling, and create new real social networks.<br />
<br />
In essence, we would like to create a shared way of living/ cooperating that goes beyond borders, and which brings people together.<br />
<br />
==What is a nomad base?==<br />
This is topic of open discussion. The 'bases' we aspire to should encourage more cooperation, sharing and solidarity between the participants and should be a vehicle for<br />
experimenting with social/political activism, exchange of nomadic skills and crafts, as well as nomadic cooperatives and other business models, practical skillsharing, etc.<br />
<br />
==What is hospitality exchange?==<br />
The initiative for nomadbases is one that is closely related to hospitality<br />
exchange. In the past 5 years we have seen a great leap forward in this<br />
field, examples include networks such as http://bewelcome.org and<br />
http://couchsurfing.org See for an overview here: http://couchwiki.org/en/A_Brief_History_of_Hospitality_Exchange_Networks<br />
<br />
Hospitality Exchange Networks sounds great! What is the difference with what you want to do?<br />
Yes, they are great! Whereas hospitality exchange has a focus on (free) short-term accomodation, we would like to go beyond this model and step into the world of rather long-term hospitality. What we would like to see is a network of bases that are shared with (neo)nomads.<br />
<br />
In essence what we would like to accomplish is a sustainable network of communities, houses, farms, squats, collaborative work-spaces, etc. that are open for shared living with people that travel as a way of life. These places would be in essence autonomous nodes within a larger network that function as convergence places to teach/learn/share and to meet<br />
like-minded people who you can connect with and work on projects<br />
together.<br />
<br />
==So there are many nomad bases around?==<br />
Yes! More than what we think! But they do not necessarily define themselves as such.<br />
You have a nomad base everytime one person decides to give free access to nomads for long term periods. Sometimes nomads organize themselves into collectives and intentional living houses for a longer period, before moving on.<br />
<br />
==Let’s speak about SHE in NYC: Do I have to pay something?==<br />
<br />
No! The gathering is for free. This is the basic rule of hospitality. You are the host here! Behave consequently.<br />
<br />
==There is going to be food?==<br />
Yes! One of the workshops is dumpster diving food in the neighborhood (on Friday night, the 4th, and then on Saturday night again) and to cook it together. Contribution to buy additional good will be welcome.<br />
<br />
==What if I need a place to sleep?==<br />
You are welcome! We will try to accommodate all the ones who need a place to sleep because coming from far. Bring your sleeping bag and camping mattress and we will find you a spot somewhere.<br />
<br />
==how long does the gathering last?==<br />
<br />
The gathering will start on Friday night at 8pm in Brroklyn: hosts from the area will meet up to gather food together. This will be the perfect occason to learn more about dumpster diving! Then Saturday morning at 11.00 will we start gathering together. The event will probably conclude on Sunday evening at 18.00.<br />
People who need a place where to sleep, will be hosted from Friday until Sunday if needed.<br />
<br />
==What are the conferences about?==<br />
There are no conferences intended as such. People will gather in groups talking of their needs, dreams and experiences.<br />
Everything is open! Be a host: this is your event! Find out what do you want to speak about and post the topic on the google group. Find the questions!!!<br />
<br />
==What form/structure the meetings will take?==<br />
The meetings will use an Open Space approach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology<br />
<br />
At the beginning of an Open Space the participants sit in a circle, or in concentric circles for large groups (300 to 2000 people).<br />
<br />
The facilitator will greet the people and briefly re-state the theme of their gathering, without giving a lengthy speech. Then someone will invite all participants to identify any issue or opportunity related to the theme. Participants willing to raise a topic will come to the centre of the circle, write it on a sheet of paper and announce it to the group before choosing a time and a place for discussion and posting it on a wall. That wall becomes the agenda for the meeting.<br />
<br />
No participant must suggest issues, but anyone may do so. However, if someone posts a topic, the system expects that the person has a real passion for the issue and can start the discussion on it. That person also must make sure that a report of the discussion is done and posted on another wall so that any participant can access the content of the discussion at all times. No limit exists on the number of issues that the meeting can post.<br />
<br />
When all issues have been posted, participants sign up and attend those individual sessions. Sessions typically last for 1.5 hours; the whole gathering usually lasts from a half day up to about two days. The opening and agenda creation lasts about an hour, even with a very large group. (more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology)<br />
<br />
==How can I participate?==<br />
If you are reading this, you are on the right track!<br />
This is an event that we build up together and to do so, a good start is to get to know each other beforehand.<br />
Send an email to the group:''' she_nyc@googlegroups.com.'''<br />
<br />
In your profile on google group (http://groups.google.com/group/she_nyc), list your blog, your interests, your profile in hospitality exchange (if you have one).<br />
<br />
Introduce yourself and state your expectations.<br />
Someone will go back to you with an offer of hospitality.<br />
<br />
==Why do you organize this?==<br />
Valentina is organizing SHE in NY because she believes that neo-nomadism is a way to experience freedom and learning about yourself and the others. Living in a nomad base changed her life: it empowered her to dream and it gave her a sense of family and community when I she had any.<br />
Therefore, she wants to share this experience with others. Plus, whe she does not spend her time in front of a laptop, she is a quite sociable person and wants to have a blast with amazing people like you. :P</div>69.112.199.217https://sharewiki.org/w/index.php?title=She_nyc/fuq&diff=1311She nyc/fuq2009-11-18T00:01:58Z<p>69.112.199.217: /* How can I participate? */</p>

Participants willing to raise a topic will come to the centre of the circle, write it on a sheet of paper and announce it to the group before choosing a time and a place for discussion and posting it on a wall. That wall becomes the agenda for the meeting.<br />
<br />
No participant must suggest issues, but anyone may do so. However, if someone posts a topic, the system expects that the person has a real passion for the issue and can start the discussion on it. That person also must make sure that a report of the discussion is done and posted on another wall so that any participant can access the content of the discussion at all times. No limit exists on the number of issues that the meeting can post.<br />
<br />
When all issues have been posted, participants sign up and attend those individual sessions. Sessions typically last for 1.5 hours; the whole gathering usually lasts from a half day up to about two days. The opening and agenda creation lasts about an hour, even with a very large group.

==Why do you organize this?==<br />
Valentina is organizing SHE in NY because she believes that neo-nomadism is a way to experience freedom and learning about yourself and the others. Living in a nomad base changed her life: it empowered her to dream and it gave her a sense of family and community when I she had any.<br />
Therefore, she wants to share this experience with others. Plus, whe she does not spend her time in front of a laptop, she is a quite sociable person and wants to have a blast with amazing people like you. :P</div>69.112.199.217https://sharewiki.org/w/index.php?title=She_nyc/fuq&diff=1309She nyc/fuq2009-11-18T00:00:48Z<p>69.112.199.217: /* Why do you organize this? */</p>

'''Formerly Unanswered Questions<br />
(Read: some of the topic of the gathering)'''<br />
<br />
<br />
==Who is a nomad?==<br />
<br />
A nomad is someone who believes that traveling (physically or mentally) is a way to learn (about others and about themselves) and to experience life. Some of the nomads travel for work, others for study, others to learn from random encounters on the road.<br />
<br />
Some have been nomadic in the past, others are nomadic by spirit. Nomads use to change locations often, and are mostly laptop equipped. Some are long-term travelers. others seasonal workes or volunteers.<br />
Also, the networks of journeymen/women in Germany and France have a<br />
very long tradition in this field, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeyman).<br />
<br />
<br />
==Who is organizing this event?==<br />
This event is a follow up of a similar gathering happening in Berlin from the 20th to the 30th of November, or maybe even longer. See http://sharewiki.org/en/she.<br />
The event in Berlin has been collectively organized by a loose network of nomads, skillsurfers, hackers, open space fanatics and hospitality exchange addicts.<br />
<br />
In NY, the event is organized by Valentina, one of the hospitality exchange addict mentioned above.<br />
<br />
==What is the final goal of the Berlin conference?==<br />
The final dream is to set up spaces/bases/places that are open for nomads. On a smaller scale, we want to promote nomadism and make it easier for nomads to go beyond conventional housing, jobs and schooling, and create new real social networks.<br />
<br />
In essence, we would like to create a shared way of living/ cooperating that goes beyond borders, and which brings people together.<br />
<br />
==What is a nomad base?==<br />
This is topic of open discussion. The 'bases' we aspire to should encourage more cooperation, sharing and solidarity between the participants and should be a vehicle for<br />
experimenting with social/political activism, exchange of nomadic skills and crafts, as well as nomadic cooperatives and other business models, practical skillsharing, etc.<br />
<br />
==What is hospitality exchange?==<br />
The initiative for nomadbases is one that is closely related to hospitality<br />
exchange. In the past 5 years we have seen a great leap forward in this<br />
field, examples include networks such as http://bewelcome.org and<br />
http://couchsurfing.org See for an overview here: http://couchwiki.org/en/A_Brief_History_of_Hospitality_Exchange_Networks<br />
<br />
Hospitality Exchange Networks sounds great! What is the difference with what you want to do?<br />
Yes, they are great! Whereas hospitality exchange has a focus on (free) short-term accomodation, we would like to go beyond this model and step into the world of rather long-term hospitality. What we would like to see is a network of bases that are shared with (neo)nomads.<br />
<br />
In essence what we would like to accomplish is a sustainable network of communities, houses, farms, squats, collaborative work-spaces, etc. that are open for shared living with people that travel as a way of life. These places would be in essence autonomous nodes within a larger network that function as convergence places to teach/learn/share and to meet<br />
like-minded people who you can connect with and work on projects<br />
together.<br />
<br />
==So there are many nomad bases around?==<br />
Yes! More than what we think! But they do not necessarily define themselves as such.<br />
You have a nomad base everytime one person decides to give free access to nomads for long term periods. Sometimes nomads organize themselves into collectives and intentional living houses for a longer period, before moving on.<br />
<br />
==Let’s speak about SHE in NYC: Do I have to pay something?==<br />
<br />
No! The gathering is for free. This is the basic rule of hospitality. You are the host here! Behave consequently.<br />
<br />
==There is going to be food?==<br />
Yes! One of the workshops is dumpster diving food in the neighborhood (on Friday night, the 4th, and then on Saturday night again) and to cook it together. Contribution to buy additional good will be welcome.<br />
<br />
==What if I need a place to sleep?==<br />
You are welcome! We will try to accommodate all the ones who need a place to sleep because coming from far. Bring your sleeping bag and camping mattress and we will find you a spot somewhere.<br />
<br />
==how long does the gathering last?==<br />
<br />
The gathering will start on Friday night at 8pm in Brroklyn: hosts from the area will meet up to gather food together. This will be the perfect occason to learn more about dumpster diving! Then Saturday morning at 11.00 will we start gathering together. The event will probably conclude on Sunday evening at 18.00.<br />
People who need a place where to sleep, will be hosted from Friday until Sunday if needed.<br />
<br />
==What are the conferences about?==<br />
There are no conferences intended as such. People will gather in groups talking of their needs, dreams and experiences.<br />
Everything is open! Be a host: this is your event! Find out what do you want to speak about and post the topic on the google group. Find the questions!!!<br />
<br />
==What form/structure the meetings will take?==<br />
The meetings will use an Open Space approach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology<br />
<br />
At the beginning of an Open Space the participants sit in a circle, or in concentric circles for large groups (300 to 2000 people).<br />
<br />
The facilitator will greet the people and briefly re-state the theme of their gathering, without giving a lengthy speech. Then someone will invite all participants to identify any issue or opportunity related to the theme. Participants willing to raise a topic will come to the centre of the circle, write it on a sheet of paper and announce it to the group before choosing a time and a place for discussion and posting it on a wall. That wall becomes the agenda for the meeting.<br />
<br />
No participant must suggest issues, but anyone may do so. However, if someone posts a topic, the system expects that the person has a real passion for the issue and can start the discussion on it. That person also must make sure that a report of the discussion is done and posted on another wall so that any participant can access the content of the discussion at all times. No limit exists on the number of issues that the meeting can post.<br />
<br />
When all issues have been posted, participants sign up and attend those individual sessions. Sessions typically last for 1.5 hours; the whole gathering usually lasts from a half day up to about two days. The opening and agenda creation lasts about an hour, even with a very large group.
