The LIØNSBERG Community Guidebook

A step-by-step Path for any local community to forge a free, self-governing body — a LIØNSBERG Community Company — whose sole purpose is to co-create Heaven in your local community

Humanity now stands at the crossroads of history. A moment in time that will shape life on Earth for millennia to come.

Future generations will look back and ask:

When the crucial moment was upon you, what did you do?

LIØNSBERG stands at this juncture, lovingly and freely offering a Way towards the best possible future for All.

This guide is intended to help humanity confront and overcome the meta crisis, and co-create Heaven On Earth. One local community at a time.

It all begins with you and a few others you know and trust forming a local steering committee, establishing a legal body with agency, engaging the first three percent of the local population, and undertaking transformative quests that make your community and world a better place. The pattern is simple. The important thing is to begin.

And you do not begin from scratch, or alone. The LIØNSBERG System — offered as a free gift to All — reflects lifetimes of work and value already woven. So from the very first day, every member of every local community is invited to take up a dynamic stake and voice in LIØNSBERG as a whole. None of us building in isolation could assemble such a starting point in the time required. That is both the free gift and the invitation to All.

The Path

Six steps and a living proof. Walk them in order the first time to experience the full arc of the journey; then return to any of them as your Community Company grows.

  1. Step 1 — Forming a Steering Committee — gather the founding circle that will hold the Company into being.
  2. Step 2 — Establishing Legal Agency and Personhood — give your Company a body the existing world can recognize, no heavier than the work requires.
  3. Step 3 — Engaging The First Three Percent — find and invite the ~300 who will rise first.
  4. Step 4 — Learning to Play The New Game — orient, train, and onboard into the New Pattern and Play.
  5. Step 5 — Engaging the Community and Passing the Flame — spread through the whole community and seed the next federated Company.
  6. Step 6 — Collective Governance of the Cosmic Superorganism — federate and join the reciprocal dance of the planetary Commons and beyond.

Proof it is possible: Mondragon — Proof That It Is Possible — one valley, one cooperative idea, eighty thousand lives and livelihoods transformed.

The wider horizon: Before and Beyond Mondragon — the lineage from cosmos to Fair Shares to FSx, and LIØNSBERG as one specific rendering of the nameless and universal Way.

The Toolkit

Each step hands you a tool you can open and begin working with today. The full set lives in The Community Company Toolkit:
