Welcome to Network M, an initiative to unite social and spiritual activists, progressive thinkers and doers, and creative people interested in finding a community.

Around the country and around  the globe, thousands of amazing people are working in many capacities, creating or working for organizations which benefit society in myriad ways.  Many of these people are looking for a community to support them in their social, political, economic and artistic endeavors.  And there are many more who would gladly take part, if only they knew about these groups and had a way to connect to their real peers. NetworkM is the means for us to connect with each other. Through NetworkM we can foster an inclusive dialog between various movements (e.g. the Waldorf movement, social entrepreneurs, peacebuilders, the anthroposophical movement, NVC, etc.), thereby creating vibrant community and strengthening the potency of all our work.

NetworkM is here to:
-be an online resource for events, news, information and networking for  individuals and groups

-enable people and initiatives from all over to connect with each other

-facilitate a support system for these connections

 -host regular Meetups and conferences

NetworkM provides us the opportunity to create and maintain a network that gives us the space, forum, permission and networking tools to work together effectively.  We also have a responsibility to reach out beyond our "borders" to others who are looking for answers, to build and strengthen the organizations that we, and so many before us, have dedicated ourselves to enrich and foster.  

So, please join us.  Log in and create a profile for yourself.  If you know of others who would benefit from this site, use your invitations to help spread the word.  Let's build our community so that all of us, scattered all over the country (and the world) can know about each other, or work, and what we can do together to make a difference.

Our mission at NetworkM is to bring people together and to “cultivate relationships for more effective social action,” but what does that mean and how do we get there? How does NetworkM do that?
 
The truth is, no one person or organization can make that happen. The ability for these goals to be met lies in participation. All NetworkM can do is provide the platform or forum where these relationships can begin to take shape. NetworkM can provide the tools and the resources, but cannot in and of itself ‘increase communication” not can it create “more effective social action.”
 
When I first started the blueprint for NetworkM, I had dreams of people connecting with others all around the globe. I thought, “There are so many people doing so many interesting things and we are all so scattered. If only there was a way for us to know about each other and our work.” I imagined how it would be if there was a land owner somewhere looking for a biodynamic farmer to tend his land, or a film producer looking for the right story and the right people to work with-- and NetworkM was a place where they could meet. Not only would the landowner have a farmer, but the farmer would have land. The producer would have her story, the writer would have his funding.  Young entrepreneurs would have access to mentors, clientele, partners, etc. We could truly make the impact in the world we want to make because we have the means to be connected, support each other and join each other in our endeavors.
 
Now that we have NetworkM, it is time to look at how we can use it to achieve these goals. We have over 400 members and are growing rapidly, each of us with so much to offer. Remember, everyone on NetworkM has a blog space where you can share with the community what is going on in your life, your ideas, thoughts and opinions; there is a bulletin board for posting initiatives, jobs, etc.  Every day I check to see what I can learn from or about someone on NetworkM. I urge you to use these resources.
