The main thing we're always looking for in this network is "more of me" --- more of what I am spending my daily volunteering doing, and more of how we are doing it.
This isn’t just about me; it’s about any individual who recognizes communications from our Intuitive community members, chooses to respond with respect, and finds a way to consistently collaborate with the skill sets they have so that all of us may achieve improved circumstances.
Each time we add more volunteers providing basic administrative assistance, for instance, severe situations across the network immediately shift into opportunities for strengthening.
One way of looking at this is to consider the value of secretarial support… for severely disabled trauma survivors.
Should severely disabled trauma survivors have secretaries?
If not, why not?
In a survivor-led network like ours, the people anchoring network knowledge, teaching us the most effective solutions, and providing the most immediately actionable next steps --- the people in the C-suite, if you will — are often unable to write down, organise, and act on those solutions. Even if they are able to do those tasks in some excruciating and convoluted fashion, this comes at tremendous physical and mental cost and happens at a fraction of the speed of someone with more capacities or privileges.
This means that our projects move at the speed of admin assistance.
When the admin assistance is just me, and maybe one or two others, our projects move at a crawl.
It's taken us years to cover inches, and people have died waiting.
With more volunteers, collaborators, and Intuitive friends, we can immediately save, stabilize, and strengthen lives that would otherwise be lost. Individual volunteers in their own vocational recovery activities, using Intuitive toolsets, immediately contribute to increasing the safety and stability of those around them and their interconnected communities.
We can be bringing shelter, safe food, medicine, care and hope to hundreds, thousands, even millions of people.
The volunteer administrative tasks I do here are very basic: note-taking, document filing, following simple instructions (and learning from our community members and knowledgebase resourcing while I’m at it).
Who out there is capable of doing that — and interested in spending a few minutes a day, or a few hours a week, using those abilities to save lives?
Who out there is interested in learning from survivor professionals who are holding crucial knowledge about how to recover our collective capacity to build safe, inclusive infrastructure that supports growing multi-generational families in thriving, healthy communities?
Are you?
If you resonate… if you notice this is you… please get in touch with t.me/maxmorris. And get excited. And tell your friends. Because this is big.
Thank you.
With hope and appreciation,
Evan Jacques
