Starting a Working Movement

One of the most promising and hopeful things for me around the consciousness movement is the underground. in the hidden and subtle mutations is where I find the slow change that will creep forward until it has over ran the old thoughts.

I've been working on cultivating community and have just started a group called Seedspace. I am working towards having multiple creative spaces in Seattle that are utilized for events, and community organization. My newest endeavor in the group is with this new and upcoming model called "Coworking".

Coworking is a movement to create a community of cafe-like collaboration spaces for developers, writers and independents. This is a big change in industry.People are becoming isolated in small business and freelance internet work. Coworking spaces are creative places where people with different skills can come together and work side by side for inspiration. There are many examples of these spaces working, and it's creating a stranger community of independent office workers, and self reliance. The age of big businesses are dieing, and small inter connective business models are the future wave.

I am really excited to bring forth my own Coworking SPACE in Seattle and help further this new business model.
