THE CALL
As autumn deepens toward winter, we find ourselves in a natural season of introspection—a perfect threshold moment for honoring endings and new beginnings. For seven editions over ten years, Earth Beat has been a vital node in the interconnected web of change in our world. As we move through this mid-autumn season—a perfect time for letting go of what no longer serves—the current directors have made the significant decision to dissolve the existing company structure, creating space for a new entity and model to emerge.
This is an opportunity to reimagine how Earth Beat can be strengthened in its role as a vital connecting node in our collective journey toward a just, safe, equitable world (and away from a dystopian hunger games hellscape).
The call is out. The time is now
Crafting Our Collective Voice: The Power of Decision-Making Point
In a world where power and resources remain concentrated in the hands of the few, revolutionary change requires mass movements—united people working as one. These movements won’t arise from single leaders or institutions, but through networks of interconnected communities, each operating with new patterns of consciousness and collaboration.
The scale of change our world needs demands our numbers grow, our unity strengthens, and our approach evolves. Earth Beat serves as both node and connector in this living network—a place where ideas spark, relationships form, and possibilities multiply. The governance structures we create now will determine how effectively we can fulfill this role together.
Wisdom From Below Ground: The Mycelium Way
Like the vast, resilient networks of mycelium beneath forest floors—connecting trees, sharing nutrients, and creating conditions for flourishing—as a community, we all desire to see Earth Beat continue to strengthen as a catalyst for connection and regeneration.
This session focuses on creating governance/decision-making structures that, like mycelium:
- Distribute intelligence and decision-making throughout the system
- Create resilience through diversity, interconnection, and decentralisation
- Nurture the conditions for collective emergence
- Adapt to changing conditions while maintaining core values
- Welcome and integrate new energy to revitalize the entire ecosystem
We’re calling those ready to take part in Earth Beat’s future
- To those with governance and business experience, and fresh perspectives that can help form decision-making processes.
- To people committed to holding and actively advancing this kaupapa.
- To people who believe in the strength and role of our gatherings as a vital connecting node in our collective journey toward a just, safe, equitable world (and away from a dystopian hunger games hellscape).
This is your call to step in.
Roots That Connect Us All: The Network That Changes Everything
The most powerful social transformations in history have come when interconnected communities align toward shared purpose while maintaining their unique approaches and strengths. Earth Beat stands as a critical node in this emerging network—activating shifts in consciousness, connecting change-makers, and demonstrating alternatives to dominant systems.
When these nodes connect and strengthen, they create resilience and possibilities that no single entity could achieve alone. The dancefloor becomes more than celebration—it becomes practice for the world we’re creating.
The future of Earth Beat should lie not in the hands of a few (as it has been in the past) but in our collective wisdom and shared purpose. Let’s create structures that reflect how we want to make decisions together, worthy of the magic we’ve experienced and the future we envision.
Show up with your passion and with the responsibility to make it happen.
Light refreshments & snacks provided. Please RSVP by May 15th.
