We are a distinct bunch, driven to create the kind of world we collectively know can exist. As the years of festival work go by, we begin to understand what it takes to engage in our mission to build a model of human life in alignment with both natural law and practical sustainability. Soulshine, as an expression of our collective will, has grown and matured enough now to declare itself to broader society and the public realm.
Our matrix integration team is working on it. We are exploring all the apparent dimensions, determining how to align with natural and governmental laws while maintaining our freedom to create internally generated Soulshiney systems that serve our highest ideals. This challenge is our initiation into the private-public question, exploring in the real world how to formalize the expression of our spiritual dimension with honour and grace.
We are currently investigating a wholistic solution potentially involving:
It’s time to walk the walk. We have determined the first step is to establish a PMA. This will allow the Soulshine Community to maintain our sovereignty and free us to conduct various key activities without agitation and uncertainty. We will form a PMA to legitimize our existence in the public realm.
We are exploring a yearly Soulshine Membership for a minimal fee that solidifies the PMA’s legalities and will provide a small financial pool supporting the development and administration of the Soulshine Community and our many potential and ongoing projects.
Membership in the Soulshine Community PMA will include access to the Soulshine Pantry, (including potentially being a supplier), a community business directory, the Soulshine podcast, and member-only pricing for our smaller Soulshine Gatherings like the Soulshine Socials and (the new for 2025), Soulshine Sessions.
