The practice of making a living economy rests in the foundational commitment of 'blessed unrest' in global civil society, in the face of clear and present danger. Here is the narrative framing.
AN EVOCATIVE IMAGE
There is no Planet B - The light returns
# Conditions, context, challenge
In the face of clear and present danger, people organise and go to work, voluntarily, with dedicated commitment, for the sake of those beings who suffer, and for the children.
How may we become sufficiently aware, and **moved**? How may we generate wellbeing? How may we become sufficiently capable? How may we be sustained? How do we assemble sufficient material means? How do we also make provision, that may prevent future suffering? This is the foundational pattern.

Here we develop the perspectives of curating (provisioning) and enjoying (mobilising) as fields of practice that jointly constitute the commons. Both aspects embody altered relations of aesthetic production, part of making a living economy.
# Core intention
Beyond the state, the market, the consumerist household and the industrial-non-profit complex. The insurgent power of the commons.
