We-Space

A We-Space is where we come together to co-create, support each other, and build meaningful connections. Each we-space is unique, crafted by the people involved, and is grounded in safety, respect, and freedom through hearty collaboration and agreed-upon values. These spaces co-create environments where everyone can thrive, in all areas of life where we connect with others.

  • Deeper Connections: We feel truly seen and understood when we share a well-crafted we-space.
  • Less Loneliness: We combat isolation by co-creating we-spaces and circles where we belong and matter to each other.
  • Savvy Adapting: We tap into our collective wisdom, finding approaches none of us would likely discover alone.
  • More Fun: We experience more joy and laughter when we create spaces that welcome our full selves.
  • Shared Stewardship: We willingly choose to carry life’s challenges together, making heavy situations lighter and thriving more assured.

A we-space is a small “culture” and this wisdom applies. For me, my broadest “culture” are the Freedom Kin, people who a core value of freedom maximizing while being sufficiently safe, respecting of others freedom and property, and ample we-spaces to support our unique heartistries.

It should be called “a culture” or “this culture,” because there is no universal culture, no “us” that defines all of us. When we’re comfortable realizing that our work is to change “a culture,” then we can begin to do two bits of hard work: Map and understand the worldview of the culture we seek to change. Focus all our energy on this group. Ignore everyone else. Instead, focus on building and living a story that will resonate with the culture we are seeking to change. ~ Seth Godin
