Hi all!
We’re a fledgling movement with a handful of members in Africa and then me who is currently in Sweden. We have some plans for various projects in Africa that align well with the overall ideas of the solarpunk movement. I’m here hoping to make new friends and learn about what everybody else is doing. I believe that change is possible on a global scale, and that the hegemony of the mainstream, greed fueled, centralized status quo can be challenged most effectively by a global movement of decentralized, grassroots communities working together.

I read your whole site and find it very inspiring. My wife spent six months in Ghana when she was 18 and had a very life changing experience. I hope to visit some day and will definitely reach out if I do.
Though I had a successful career as a software developer in the nonprofit space, my current interests and expertise are in meditation practices and psycho-spiritual integration. My theory is that the way to a better world is through healing our traumas, personal, collective, and intergenerational.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read through our entire site! I’m so happy to hear that it inspired you. This means a lot to us! Ghana is a beautiful country, but a lot of people there are also struggling because of the living conditions our global society has afforded them.
I wholeheartedly agree with your theory! The trauma is insane and it runs so deep. How do we communicate the need for this to people and enable them to be a part of the solution? I’m also passionate about talking to people about the need to understand our own minds, so we don’t become slaves to our instincts. I think that’s another key component.
