Tao of ServiceSpace

Projects I'm Involved With

ServiceSpace: the meta gift-economy experiment.
DailyGood, Awakin, Conversations: inspiration.
KindSpring, Karma Kitchen, KarmaTube: action.
Laddership, CF Sites, Moved By Love: tools.
One Pager on all these projects and more.

"Service doesn't start when you have something to give; it blossoms naturally when you have nothing left to take."

"Real privilege lies in knowing that you have enough."
