Good afternoon cousins,
I’m inviting you into a Brain Trust on a key issue — I believe we need a concept beyond “subscription” or “membership” to describe a commitment to Planet Waves and what we are offering to the community.
Neither of these describe Planet Waves at all. I know there is a better way to describe an energy exchange and the mutual support that we are about.
The idea paying a subscription fee, which is a commitment, needs to be seen in context of something much larger. It must convey more than a membership or a product. Planet Waves is not a “thing.” It is a point of view, an orientation on existence, a journey, a commitment to oneself and also to something larger than oneself.
The idea, phrase or language needs to convey what we actually offer:
— Life-affirming, timely information, professionally prepared.
— In an era of disinformation, agenda-driven “messaging.”
— In a time of global crisis — both individual and collective; social and political; where health and environmental concerns are no longer an option or luxury: they are necessities.
— Where everyone is welcome to contribute.
— Sponsored by the community, rather than by corporate advertisers — offering true freedom of thought and accountability.
