"What one person can't do alone, many can."
- Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen
Dear Reader,
As social beings, we are dependent on the company of other people. We want friends who understand us and whom we can trust. Belonging is a basic human need. Only together can we create a good future for everyone.
But communities also have dark sides. Involuntary membership of communities such as daycare centers, schools, workplaces, village communities, etc. can turn into hell if the wavelength doesn't match. Sensitive, quiet people then quickly become outsiders. They feel bullied and harassed. Do you sometimes think "I'm not right here" or - even worse - "There's something wrong with me"? Yet we all have the right to belong and feel safe in a circle of well-meaning people who are right for us.
Developing potential together
It is very important to us Gradido founders that you feel comfortable with us. We hope that you get to know wonderful people at Gradido and can therefore invite friends, acquaintances and relatives with a good feeling. In short: that you surround yourself with a circle of good friends in which you feel safe and secure. In this way, you support each other in developing your greatest possible potential.
It doesn't matter whether you first met through Gradido or have known each other for a long time. Perhaps you share a common interest (association, project, initiative, self-help group, etc.) or you simply like each other and therefore enjoy being together.
Communities develop strength, are imago cells for transformation. Together we can achieve what one person alone cannot.
Together for prosperity, peace and freedom
While the economy and the old financial system are collapsing outside, more and more companies are going bankrupt, masses of employees are being made redundant, poverty among the elderly and children is on the rise, the federal, state and local governments are facing ever greater financial problems and may become insolvent, we are creating the remuneration system of the new era together through our contribution to the common good. After a phase of testing and dissemination, it will develop into the new monetary system that has the potential to create prosperity for all people, in peace, freedom and harmony with nature.
Even without your own Gradido server
No matter whether you already belong to a group or whether you found each other via Gradido - if you want to use Gradido together, you don't need your own Gradido server.
You choose 2-3 moderators from your ranks whom you trust. Then you contact Gradido support for an introductory meeting. If everything fits, you will be registered as a Gradido circle and from then on you can create Gradidos on your own responsibility. Your moderators will confirm the common good contributions you have entered and thus the creations. As you know each other well, you can quickly discuss and resolve any ambiguities together.
3 steps to your own Gradido circle
As few as 5-10 people can form a circle.
It's quite simple:
- You give yourself a name, e.g. "Our wonderful circle" and choose a hashtag, e.g. #uwukreis. You put this hashtag in front of the text of each of your contributions to the common good.
- You choose your moderators and contact the support team of your Gradido community.
- After a successful introductory meeting, Support will activate your moderators and give them a brief introduction to the admin area, where they can edit your posts.
You are great - just the way you are!
You are good the way you are - as individuals and also as a group or association. You don't need to change your identity as a group if you want to use Gradido together or alone.
Talk to your friends
Talk to the people you know about using Gradido to support each other in the ever-growing movement and help shape a better future for everyone.
Everyone needs support from good friends at some point. Because - whether we like it or not - the 'great upheaval' is already in full swing. The times ahead are becoming more uncertain and will bring major changes. And it's great if you've organized yourselves in good time.
In the end, everything will be fine. Together we create wonderful communities, human oases surrounded by healthy nature, where young and old enjoy living together - in peace, freedom and in harmony with nature.
There are many of us and we are becoming more and more.
A thousand thanks because you are with us!
Love greetings
Yours
Margret Baier and Bernd Hückstädt
