Community
Our cOHMunity are the heart of OHM. We aim to create diverse spaces where everyone can give from the heart and receive what they need to thrive. We host gift-based gatherings wherever possible so that money need not be an obstacle to participation.
Gatherings
Society is becoming increasingly fractured, with communities retreating online and forming echo chambers that isolate rather than unite. In the wake of COVID, it has become clear that we need more spaces for people to connect and share diverse ideas and experiences in a non-judgemental setting.
OHM Gatherings are inclusive spaces where people come together to share art, knowledge, wisdom, goods and services with the community. We openly record and peer-review these contributions, feeding learnings from our experiments into the WISDOM framework. Our goal is to develop transparent contribution templates that people around the world can use to replicate OHM gatherings in a decentralised and autonomous fashion.
