What is Visionary money? in Visionary Society

What is Visionary money?

Money is magic. It’s a lucky charm, a talisman, a nomadic object. What can we do with it? Achieve personal happiness? Or can we go all the way?

The great thing about money is that we can do anything with it, or so it seems. We skip down the yellow brick road, picking up baubles. How far should we go with it? Just far enough for food and shelter? For computers and cars, entertainment and travel? Or can we go all the way, anywhere, everywhere, everything?

This is a Visionary society primary category – a part of life that everyone has to deal with in one way or another. Maybe it would be best if we did so intentionally, by understanding the system in which we are immersed, what our alternatives are, and a visionary solution, one that makes the world better.

We're not going to get everything done in one meeting obviously. But we can get started...

Gatherings

Exploring a Quest on your own is good, but doing it together with friends and community members is better.

Schedule a Gathering.

Exploring a Quest on your own is good, but doing it together with friends and community members is better! Facilitating Quests is easy and no one needs to be an expert. The Quest Path is intuitive. Just take the steps that interest you. To begin, decide on the Gathering type.

Quest Meeting

Hold a meeting open to Visionary society members and the public, with the purpose of following any Quest Path, reaching the heart of a basic social or personal mystery. See more.

Public Action

A great insight matters little unless and until we bring it into the world. Public Action is bringing the insights of a Quest to the public. It works by engagement – engaging the public, helpfully but with clarity, in matters of significance. See more.

Celebration of the Good

Can we envision a new kind of entertainment, one that engages people in active celebration of beauty, truth and good? See more.
