There is no money in a gift economy. It is not a reform, it is a major revolution. You are giving your gift. It is not barter. Theres a book about it called THE GIFT (Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property) by Lewis Hyde and a film about it called GIFTING IT (which interviews Hyde quite a bit). The trailer of the film is at: http://hopedance.org/community-media/videos/346

This is such an important direction to go. As you all know, popular media; tv, film, radio, dvd's, are promoted for commercial gain and as such the wrong motivation. Nothing good can come from that. The major commercial video outlets are a constant stream of violent themes. We need to provide an alternative where the problems of life, portrayed in films, are met with peaceful, non-violent solutions. Good Luck to all of you in your endeavors. Peace and Love, Joe

Hi All,

The Vortex Dome in downtown LA is running a special series of fulldome immersive moivies starting tonight!

Thursday 11/4 - Special Triple Feature Presentation of the following:

REALM OF LIGHT / Adamas: The latest full dome feature produced by Softmachine. With its stunning special effects, this entirely 3D animated full dome production is designed in any aspect for the immersive theat...er ? a completely new dimension of filmed visualisation.

TALES OF THE MAYA SKIES: Immerse yourself in the beauty of Chichén Itzá, Mexico, the “seventh wonder of the modern world.” Listen to the story of the ancient Maya civilization. Experience Tales of the Maya Skies. With unprecedented realism Tales of the Maya Skies immerses us in Maya science, art and mythology, using full dome digital technology to transport us back into the world of the Maya. Grammy Award winner and Oscar nominee, Lila Downs, narrates, as Tales of the Maya Skies brings us back to the ancient jungles of Mexico, where the Maya built cities and temples aligned to movements of the Sun, Moon and planets. Over many years they observed and documented astronomical events with great accuracy.

SEVEN WONDERS: Turn back the pages of time and witness the ancient wonders of the world as they have not been seen for thousands of years. We will investigate the theories of how these wonders were created and get a glimpse of some of the universe's greatest wonders.

some one is taking sacred economics quite seriously/intently is Charles Eisenstein. He just sent us the following. It may be of interest to people here:
Hello everyone,

I have an article, "A Circle of Gifts" on a cool website called shareable.net. http://shareable.net/blog/a-circle-of-gifts
It is about a particular mode of gift economy, and its context of community disintegration, and its economic ramifications. An excerpt:

Fortunately, the monetization of life has reached its peak in our time, and is beginning a long and permanent receding (of which economic "recession" is an aspect). Both out of desire and necessity, we are poised at a critical moment of opportunity to reclaim gift culture, and therefore to build true community. The reclamation is part of a larger shift of human consciousness, a larger reunion with nature, earth, each other, and lost parts of ourselves. Our alienation from gift culture is an aberration and our independence an illusion....

I look forward to interacting with people in the comments.>>

the one chapter that was a godsend to me is linked at: http://www.hopedance.org/home/money-news/1671-sacred-economics with almost 1,000 hits at the hopedance.org site...

Kellia, you are very sweet - love your video!

Thanks to all for helping her with additional references. I've enjoyed reviewing this material - some great thoughts about the purpose of money and how we can better relate to others energetically.
