Aho!
I'm Ruben, a father working toward a village where children grow free. If something I said or wrote stayed with you, this is where we start.

Children: The world is deteriorating, and how we raise children is the biggest lever to change its trajectory. Kids will change the world, so they deserve better. We must build it now!
Community: The antidote to mass society in anonymous, lonely cities is smaller, resonant, local villages: closer to each other and to nature.
Radical Responsibility: We own our state of (well)being, what we do, say, eat, support. We organize together, and we don't outsource to strangers incentivized against our interests. We build and maintain to last for generations to come.
Freedom: We choose. No central authority deciding every detail of our lives. Agreements that support personal autonomy and grow independent thought.
Inner work: True freedom is doing the work needed to stop projecting what's unwhole in ourselves onto others. The people around us will be mirrors and we will respect them for it.
Scenes from the road, questions I'm sitting with, what I've learned about living close to other people and envision for the future. A letter when there's something worth saying. No schedule, no noise.
For those who feel the urgency. If you're building now or have a dream and ready to execute, let's unite.
