About


A moment we've been building towards 

For two years, the Abundance Collective has been a space of deep connection, learning, and experimentation, all happening across screens and time zones. We've nurtured relationships that span continents, explored new ways of thinking about money, economy and our livelihoods, and created a foundation of trust that has surprised and moved us all. Now, we're ready to take the next step. This October, we're coming together in person for the first time.


Why this gathering matters 

Between October 23rd-26th, 2025, Abundance Fellows from our first two editions will gather near Berlin for 4 transformative days. This isn't just about finally meeting face-to-face (though we're incredibly excited about that!). This gathering represents something deeper: a chance to anchor what we've built together and step more fully into our collective potential and way forward. 

We're bringing 3 clear intentions to our time together: 

🌀 Strengthening our web of relationships. The connections we've formed virtually have already sparked beautiful collaborations and deep friendships. Imagine what becomes possible when we can look into each other's eyes, share meals, and create together in the same space!  

🌀 Shaping our collective future. By October, we'll have completed an extensive strategic alignment process. This gathering will be our opportunity to commit together to the path forward we've envisioned as a collective. 

🌀 Experimenting with regenerative economic approaches. Starting with how we organize and co-own the resources flows for this gathering itself, we'll practice the conscious economic principles we believe in. This is our chance to walk the talk and deepen our understanding of what's truly possible.



The Abundance Fund: a living practice of conscious economics

At its core, the Abundance Fund is about embodying the values we hold dear. This fund will be collectively owned and consciously managed, with decisions made together with our members through what we call co-stewarding the economy

This isn't our first time co-managing an Abundance Fund. We've distributed over €10,000 as a collective over the past 2 years, impacting both our personal and collective relationships to money. You can read more about it in our activity report from 2024, under the chapter Money & Resilient Wealth.

✨ Here's what we've learned
When a group of people sits down to thoughtfully decide where money should go, magic happens. Instead of one person making all the decisions, we gather as a community and listen to each other's needs, ideas, and dreams. Sometimes the money goes to someone starting a project, sometimes to someone facing a tough month, sometimes to fund a beautiful experiment we all want to see happen. The fund is co-owned with care and respect, and everyone gets a voice in how it flows. It's surprisingly simple, surprisingly powerful, and always full of surprises - because communities know things that individuals alone can't fully grasp. 

🫐 For this particular iteration of the Abundance Fund, we have decided to focus all the money flowing through this crowdfunding campaign in order to energise our upcoming in person gathering in October. 

Here's where you come in 🙌 

Your contribution goes directly toward: 
  • Essential gathering costs (food, accommodation, basic materials)
  • Travel support for community members who need it most
  • Creating accessibility so that financial barriers don't prevent anyone from participating

When you contribute to the Abundance Fund, you're investing in: 
  • A model of economic cooperation that others can learn from and adapt
  • Relationships that will continue creating positive impact long after October
  • Conscious experiments with money that will be shared with the broader community
  • A network of change-makers who are more connected, aligned, and empowered to act

Can't make a financial contribution right now? 
We understand completely, and there are other ways to support. For example, you can share this crowdfunding page with your friends and networks, you can offer your skills and connections, or simply hold this intention with us.
 
A final invitation
Whether you've been with us since the beginning or you're hearing about our work for the first time, your support helps prove that communities can organize themselves around abundance rather than scarcity.

The ripples from this gathering will extend far beyond October. The relationships deepened, the experiments tried, the model refined - all of this becomes part of the larger shift toward regenerative, cooperative ways of being that our world so desperately needs.

Will you join us in making this possible?
Together, we're funding a future where communities care for each other, where resources flow consciously, and where another way of organizing ourselves becomes visible and viable.
