About the Community

What we do

== The vision is to build a holistic community network ==
A network that is operated by and serves members of the collective residing in surrounding neighborhoods. Imagine a shared living experience enabled by interactions, collaborations, and mutual support among members – thereby disrupting the prevalent culture of hyper-individualism and isolation.

Bright Star aims to be a hub where individuals can genuinely get to know each other over time, build camaraderie, and organize various events and initiatives that benefit each other.

== Inspired by characteristics of Intentional Communities and applied in a decentralized way ==
We usually think that intentional communities are restricted to a specific building, house, or a tight grouping of houses (cohousing for example). We are trying to incorporate many of the characteristics of Intentional Communities in a decentralized way and spread across neighbors in surrounding neighborhoods.

== Looking for dreamers and members ==
We are building out a network in the Seattle and surrounding areas and looking for dreamers who would like to build and be part of a community network. Visionaries, community builders, and early adopters willing to embrace a work-in-progress experience are especially invited, as your input and engagement are key in shaping our evolving community.
