United Costa Ballena

The Time Is Now!

We live in a new and strange world where being prepared for the worst-case scenario seems like a really good idea now more than ever before. A world where consciously creating our future has never seemed more important or more possible at the same time using technology designed to unite us not divide us!

Getting 6 Zones of Costa Ballena to Work Together

Our Purpose

"Our purpose as an organization is to bring people together in Costa Ballena, fostering a stronger sense of community while simplifying and improving life for all. We strive to create a collaborative environment where residents work hand in hand to minimize dependency on social media and technology.

How do we fund it?

Funding for our initiatives is made possible through the generous contributions of both local businesses and residents. We believe in the power of collective action, and as such, we encourage everyone to participate by contributing as little as $25 per year, or through flexible monthly contributions ranging from $10 to $50. For those who are able to make a more significant contribution, we also offer the option of an upfront payment of $500 per year.

Governance

Governance: we will govern similar to a corporate board however adopt the bylaws of a cooperative allowing each investor to have a say. We will basically pool our money together to accomplish way more than we could as individual businesses. Each member will have a vote and an ability to object to actions taken, and each objection will be treated as a gift.

Private Technology 

By controlling our own content and information we create an opportunity for us to work together without all the work, just living our lives while benefiting each other from the content we create. This compilation fo content can be used with permission to create tv shows, Radio Shows, Podcast, Books, New Albums but with the entire region behind them.

Why Now?

 When the need is here it is too late. By acting early before the need arises, we will be prepared for all potential events that could occur here, such as the spread of the pandemic, the collapse of the financial systems, and or Widespread ecological disasters.

Structure

We will form a simple SRL and operate as a for-profit entity that acts like a non-profit every day, by spending most of its money on creative advertising projects for the region. We will accomplish our goals instead, as "creative advertising projects" which will make us famous in the world and in short will work simply to solve our shared problems" See Projects Here

Sociocracy in Action

How does Sociocracy Work: We define this through non-violent communication, a consent decision process using “good enough for now” if one does not have a better or contrasting idea. All reasonable objections seconded by another, are treated as gifts in sociocracy, and two members from the original circle all placed on any additional circles which are formed for congruity.

If you want to be a part of it, please review this website thoroughly for an understanding of what we propose we do together. We have the outline of what that process looks like for Costa Ballena and are eagerly anticipating your participation. 

 

We ask you to take part in the process by reading the document and giving us your feedback via email at costaballenaclub@gmail.com Together, with your help, we will soon have a functional plan and structure in place to move forward with a regional well-being insurance plan of sorts. It starts with 12 people pledging membership!

 

Please consider starting first by asking yourself these 3 questions.

  1. Do you want to be a part of creating our future intentionally together? 

  2. What size of Community is truly Sustainable if we are to create an ideal society. 

  3. Geographically what does that look like, if you describe the region you live in? 

 

Our Conclusion: We believe the region of Costa Ballena which we define below, makes the most sense for many reasons with over 20 years of branding, and best mirrors real life here in the region with 6 independent but connected zones. We have an identity crisis currently as Costa Ballena does not officially exist, however is the best thing we have to describe us as the Whale Coast.

The absolutely best thing we can do is all plug into one single topic we are passionate about and take part in our zones version of it starting now. Do this by going to our private social network system and following the group or region you are in, and Following Topics

​

​

Costa Ballena United is "A Productive" or "La Productiva" which is a new type of organization similar to a cooperative, built especially for the purpose of simplifying the process of young people doing good in the world. You see "A Productive" is technically a for-profit advertising agency on paper, and believes that doing good in the world is a great way to advertise and market your business. We believe it in reality, is the most effective way to effect change that exists today! Inspire the kids, give them the tools and resources to make a difference, and let them bring the energy. 

​

Sometimes the best way to explain a new concept is an example. Let's say a community or neighborhood wants to create 4 new community greenhouses at a cost of $500 each. They each agree to put a sign up on each location, advertising for 5 sponsor businesses and Costa Ballena United. The cost of the greenhouse build is shown as the selling of the sign space to local advertisers, and the greenhouses are officially just a byproduct of the cost of the sign. This means businesses get a tax write-off for advertising, the community gets greenhouses, and almost no paperwork. The Productive provides labor and volunteer assistance, promotion of the project and the businesses, and miscellaneous resources, knowledge, and effective communication tools. 

Simple Summary: There are two logins for these 2 systems (Costa Ballena Times, and Costa Ballena Connect) which are separated very intentionally to keep life simple for everyone.

Think of it this way. The Ballena Times is our very own local google/intranet except the difference is that "You" can create posts directly inside of it for free without a website and it actually ends up on google as well. It's free to post on within reason, and you don't need a website to get your stuff onto the search engine. 

Then Costa Ballena Connect is like our own private regional Facebook, except there is no business interference or advertising. Plus, there is a masterclass you can sell your classes on, all while generating traffic for your sites and channels.

FYI, 10% of all class revenues go to Costa Ballena United in addition to passing on credit card costs, which is to pay our administrative costs. The Events and classes aspects are found in both systems. Classes will be found in the times as digital downloads, on an individual class basis, and in "Costa Ballena Connect" as an ongoing subscription.
