Austin Gift Circle

Embracing interdependent generosity and collective autonomy, we seek to promote sacred economy through the practice of an intentional gift circle.

Both physically and online, we gather in circle to develop a means to collective care for one another. We are a part of a larger decentralized movement which seeks to connect, gather, learn, share, and implement the practice of a sustainable and sacred economy. We seek to evolve through the release of attachment and expectation of return, forming new habits and systems that promote the natural patterns of giving and receiving. We encourage wealth to circulate, sharing resources with the intention of supporting a strong and thriving community.

In tandem with Evolver Spores, our group meets approximately once per month in Austin to share individual, community, and group needs, gifts / offerings, and gratitude. Our group is open all, both experienced and inexperienced. Because we are a constantly evolving collective, there may be a new facilitator each month and the structure may vary. If you have never participated in this kind of a circle or group, please still come. We simply ask that you take a moment to observe the natural flow and structure before participating.

We promote the conscious practice of time exchanges, ridesharing, couchsurfing, Really Really Free Markets, Donation-Based Access and Cafes, Food Not Bombs (and other free and donation-based meal sites, including Gleaners and food pantries), food co-ops, Infoshops, Guerrilla Gardens, Community Acupuncture Network, bike kitchens, local currencies, permaculture urban gardens and edible landscaping, local watersourcing, and more.
