Background Information: CAN Solidarity Beloved Community Initiative (SBCI) Proposed Group Intentions:
VISION
Community-centered, compassion-based, wise collective leadership and action — focused on the centrality of “Beloved Community” for creating social, economic, environmental, and spiritual wellbeing.
GOALS
To manifest “Beloved Community” by cultivating efficient and effective relationships through shared purpose (highest aspiration), natural selection (fit-to-environment), self-organization (generative patterns), and affinity of Consciousness (awareness | volition | learning | practice | depth) — focused on creating social, economic, environmental, and spiritual wellbeing.
OPERATIONAL PROCESS
"Starting from within, working in a circle in a sacred manner, we develop and heal ourselves, our relationships and the world."
PERSONAL PRACTICE
To commit ourselves to the practice of Hearing, Seeing, and unconditionally Loving (H-S-L) ourselves, each other, and our ecosystems in – every encounter and every relationship. In being individually and collectively accountable for H-S-L? and the promises and commitments we make – We ask: Is this action helpful (manifests well-being), compassionate (manifests unconditional love) and transparent (manifests trust), or is it simply an inappropriate exercise of power and/or unexamined assumptions?”
THE PROJECT
Our Nation’s survival depends on our commitment and ability to individually and collectively implement values, lifestyles, practices, processes, policies, and technology that transform how we think and live from a — “Consumer” paradigm, to an economic and ecological “Net Provider” of water, food, energy, infrastructure, wellness, information, and compassionate human relationships. Being a “Net Provider” is about implementing a whole-person, whole-system approach to lifestyle changes and sustainable practices.
The purpose of the Net Provider “Project” is to architect and collaboratively implement sustainable and scalable “Net Provider” demonstration projects. These projects are intended to transform individual and collective “Consciousness”, values, lifestyles, practices, processes, policies, and technology. The goal is to move from a “Consumer” paradigm to an economic “Net Provider” of water, food, energy, infrastructure, wellness, information, human services, and compassionate human relationships.
The Goal of the Net Provider “Project” is to implement sustainable “Net-Provider” practices and systems: that are ecologically-sound and economically viable; which provide for their own needs; do not exploit or pollute; develop the capacity and experience for humans to hear, see, and love themselves, each other, and the Earth; and are therefore sustainable and generative in the long term. The strategy is to work from personal (residence, workspace) to collective (commons, neighborhood, workplace, . . .) to implement “Net-Provider” practices and technology around water (i.e., surface water reclamation), food (i.e., gardens and CSA), energy (i.e., renewable and energy reclamation), infrastructure (whole-lifecycle optimization of — technology design | reuse | recycle; life-long education; leadership; facilities; transportation; integrated logistics, local distribution, . . .), wellness (health resource optimization), information (data, knowledge, wisdom), human services (basic needs), and compassionate human relationships.
ACTION INQUIRIES
1. What becomes possible, or can be done more efficiently and effectively together — than can be accomplished separately?
2. What are the demonstration projects — important issues and solutions — where there is readiness and benefit from the collective support of our organizations and communities?
SUCCESS CRITERIA
To perform compassionate action — not just have compassionate feelings or engage in compassionate talk — where success can be measured by the effectiveness of lives positively changed, communities sustainably transformed, reconciliation accomplished, peace manifested, and justice realized.

The purpose of the Net Provider “Project” is to architect and collaboratively implement sustainable and scalable “Net Provider” demonstration projects. These projects are intended to transform individual and collective “Consciousness”, values, lifestyles, practices, processes, policies, and technology. The goal is to move from a “Consumer” paradigm to an economic “Net Provider” of water, food, energy, infrastructure, wellness, information, human services, and compassionate human relationships.
The Goal of the Net Provider “Project” is to implement sustainable “Net-Provider” practices and systems: that are ecologically-sound and economically viable; which provide for their own needs; do not exploit or pollute; develop the capacity and experience for humans to hear, see, and love themselves, each other, and the Earth; and are therefore sustainable and generative in the long term. The strategy is to work from personal (residence, workspace) to collective (commons, neighborhood, workplace, . . .) to implement “Net-Provider” practices and technology around water (i.e., surface water reclamation), food (i.e., gardens and CSA), energy (i.e., renewable and energy reclamation), infrastructure (whole-lifecycle optimization of — technology design | reuse | recycle; life-long education; leadership; facilities; transportation; integrated logistics, local distribution, . . .), wellness (health resource optimization), information (data, knowledge, wisdom), human services (basic needs), and compassionate human relationships.
ACTION INQUIRIES
1. What becomes possible, or can be done more efficiently and effectively together — than can be accomplished separately?
2. What are the demonstration projects — important issues and solutions — where there is readiness and benefit from the collective support of our organizations and communities?
SUCCESS CRITERIA
To perform compassionate action — not just have compassionate feelings or engage in compassionate talk — where success can be measured by the effectiveness of lives positively changed, communities sustainably transformed, reconciliation accomplished, peace manifested, and justice realized.

Background Information: CAN Solidarity Beloved Community Initiative (SBCI) Proposed Group Intentions:
VISION
Community-centered, compassion-based, wise collective leadership and action — focused on the centrality of “Beloved Community” for creating social, economic, environmental, and spiritual wellbeing.
GOALS
To manifest “Beloved Community” by cultivating efficient and effective relationships through shared purpose (highest aspiration), natural selection (fit-to-environment), self-organization (generative patterns), and affinity of Consciousness (awareness | volition | learning | practice | depth) — focused on creating social, economic, environmental, and spiritual wellbeing.
OPERATIONAL PROCESS
"Starting from within, working in a circle in a sacred manner, we develop and heal ourselves, our relationships and the world."
PERSONAL PRACTICE
To commit ourselves to the practice of Hearing, Seeing, and unconditionally Loving (H-S-L) ourselves, each other, and our ecosystems in – every encounter and every relationship. In being individually and collectively accountable for H-S-L? and the promises and commitments we make – We ask: Is this action helpful (manifests well-being), compassionate (manifests unconditional love) and transparent (manifests trust), or is it simply an inappropriate exercise of power and/or unexamined assumptions?”

Background Information: CAN Solidarity Beloved Community Initiative (SBCI) Proposed Group Intentions:
VISION
Community-centered, compassion-based, wise collective leadership and action — focused on the centrality of “Beloved Community” for creating social, economic, environmental, and spiritual wellbeing.
GOALS
To manifest “Beloved Community” by cultivating efficient and effective relationships through shared purpose (highest aspiration), natural selection (fit-to-environment), self-organization (generative patterns), and affinity of Consciousness (awareness | volition | learning | practice | depth) — focused on creating social, economic, environmental, and spiritual wellbeing.
OPERATIONAL PROCESS
"Starting from within, working in a circle in a sacred manner, we develop and heal ourselves, our relationships and the world."
PERSONAL PRACTICE
To commit ourselves to the practice of Hearing, Seeing, and unconditionally Loving (H-S-L) ourselves, each other, and our ecosystems in – every encounter and every relationship. In being individually and collectively accountable for "H-S-L" and the promises and commitments we make – We ask: Is this action helpful (manifests well-being), compassionate (manifests unconditional love) and transparent (manifests trust), or is it simply an inappropriate exercise of power and/or unexamined assumptions?”
THE PROJECT
Our Nation’s survival depends on our commitment and ability to individually and collectively implement values, lifestyles, practices, processes, policies, and technology that transform how we think and live from a — “Consumer” paradigm, to an economic and ecological “Net Provider” of water, food, energy, infrastructure, wellness, information, and compassionate human relationships. Being a “Net Provider” is about implementing a whole-person, whole-system approach to lifestyle changes and sustainable practices.
The purpose of the Net Provider “Project” is to architect and collaboratively implement sustainable and scalable “Net Provider” demonstration projects. These projects are intended to transform individual and collective “Consciousness”, values, lifestyles, practices, processes, policies, and technology. The goal is to move from a “Consumer” paradigm to an economic “Net Provider” of water, food, energy, infrastructure, wellness, information, human services, and compassionate human relationships.
The Goal of the Net Provider “Project” is to implement sustainable “Net-Provider” practices and systems: that are ecologically-sound and economically viable; which provide for their own needs; do not exploit or pollute; develop the capacity and experience for humans to hear, see, and love themselves, each other, and the Earth; and are therefore sustainable and generative in the long term. The strategy is to work from personal (residence, workspace) to collective (commons, neighborhood, workplace, . . .) to implement “Net-Provider” practices and technology around water (i.e., surface water reclamation), food (i.e., gardens and CSA), energy (i.e., renewable and energy reclamation), infrastructure (whole-lifecycle optimization of — technology design | reuse | recycle; life-long education; leadership; facilities; transportation; integrated logistics, local distribution, . . .), wellness (health resource optimization), information (data, knowledge, wisdom), human services (basic needs), and compassionate human relationships.
ACTION INQUIRIES
1. What becomes possible, or can be done more efficiently and effectively together — than can be accomplished separately?
2. What are the demonstration projects — important issues and solutions — where there is readiness and benefit from the collective support of our organizations and communities?
SUCCESS CRITERIA
To perform compassionate action — not just have compassionate feelings or engage in compassionate talk — where success can be measured by the effectiveness of lives positively changed, communities sustainably transformed, reconciliation accomplished, peace manifested, and justice realized.

To commit ourselves to the practice of Hearing, Seeing, and unconditionally Loving (H-S-L) ourselves, each other, and our ecosystems in – every encounter and every relationship. In being individually and collectively accountable for H-S-L? and the promises and commitments we make – We ask: Is this action helpful (manifests well-being), compassionate (manifests unconditional love) and transparent (manifests trust), or is it simply an inappropriate exercise of power and/or unexamined assumptions?”
THE PROJECT
Our Nation’s survival depends on our commitment and ability to individually and collectively implement values, lifestyles, practices, processes, policies, and technology that transform how we think and live from a — “Consumer” paradigm, to an economic and ecological “Net Provider” of water, food, energy, infrastructure, wellness, information, and compassionate human relationships. Being a “Net Provider” is about implementing a whole-person, whole-system approach to lifestyle changes and sustainable practices.
The purpose of the Net Provider “Project” is to architect and collaboratively implement sustainable and scalable “Net Provider” demonstration projects. These projects are intended to transform individual and collective “Consciousness”, values, lifestyles, practices, processes, policies, and technology. The goal is to move from a “Consumer” paradigm to an economic “Net Provider” of water, food, energy, infrastructure, wellness, information, human services, and compassionate human relationships.
The Goal of the Net Provider “Project” is to implement sustainable “Net-Provider” practices and systems: that are ecologically-sound and economically viable; which provide for their own needs; do not exploit or pollute; develop the capacity and experience for humans to hear, see, and love themselves, each other, and the Earth; and are therefore sustainable and generative in the long term. The strategy is to work from personal (residence, workspace) to collective (commons, neighborhood, workplace, . . .) to implement “Net-Provider” practices and technology around water (i.e., surface water reclamation), food (i.e., gardens and CSA), energy (i.e., renewable and energy reclamation), infrastructure (whole-lifecycle optimization of — technology design | reuse | recycle; life-long education; leadership; facilities; transportation; integrated logistics, local distribution, . . .), wellness (health resource optimization), information (data, knowledge, wisdom), human services (basic needs), and compassionate human relationships.
ACTION INQUIRIES
1. What becomes possible, or can be done more efficiently and effectively together — than can be accomplished separately?
2. What are the demonstration projects — important issues and solutions — where there is readiness and benefit from the collective support of our organizations and communities?
SUCCESS CRITERIA
To perform compassionate action — not just have compassionate feelings or engage in compassionate talk — where success can be measured by the effectiveness of lives positively changed, communities sustainably transformed, reconciliation accomplished, peace manifested, and justice realized.
