Solari CircleFree Admission, donations appreciated
The Solari Opportunity is about shifting wealth and power back into balance with the interests of families and communities in a manner that promotes excellence and the creation of new wealth. We do this by taking responsibility for our economy, by forming Solari Circles and -- where there is significant local business and citizen support -- new ways of circulating resources in our neighborhoods and networks, as we engage our attention and our transactions in a more financially intimate manner.
If we want clean water, fresh food, a sound financial system and healthy communities, we are going to have to finance and govern these resources ourselves. That means withdrawing our support from the institutions that are draining us.
Solari Circles are self-organizing groups of people and trusted friends with a particular focus on investing their time and money in building wealth in transformative ways. Wealth is viewed as a blend of financial and living equity, including the health and well being of our families, our communities and our planet. Financial investment emphasizes financial intimacy and "back to basics" investments.
By collectively shifting our focus of spending, banking and investing toward sustainable and decentralized businesses, we can transform our finances and the world. Our immediate goal is to create living and equity wealth that is sustainable for our families and loved ones in a way that contributes to healthy, sustainable communities worldwide.
For example, why let credit card companies finance our neighbors' debt at 18% when we are only earning 2% on our bank CDs? Why not get together and pool our capital and keep those interest profits in our community, while helping our neighbors work down their debt?
Other local investment opportunities include neighborhood business and venture investments, consumer and business aggregation, government resource reengineering and other similar activities. Network opportunities include what people we know and trust are doing or are investing in, including within their communities.
Solari Circles organize informally and can begin by "Coming Clean" together, and gaining mastery of how the money works around us. Investment pools started by a Solari Investor Circle are organized as legal entities.
