*Establish the Crew
In order to take action with this Wave. It is necessary to understand the commitment with ourselves and together as a family. Time, energy, creativity and more is also needed to establish and to successfully move forward as a Collective. I know that some of you can’t commit fulltime to establish this community, I can’t be fulltime myself. Though, I am looking forward to be so.
It is awesome to know that many of us have collaborated with Collective Wave before! Though, due to some of us having tight schedules, 1 or 2… even 3 jobs, school and a family to take care of, it has become difficult for all of us to communicate with each other and to actually meet. Distance between each other is not in our favor either. I understand that there is so much happening in our lives and Collective Wave might not be our priority. Though, we keep in mind that the action of Collective Wave is to make our lives healthier in a physical and spiritual level. This is family growth through self- and environmental awareness, and having too much in our plate, might not be healthy, I just learned that.
Therefore, we will establish a Collective Wave crew in order to accomplish our life goals. Our first goal, is to calculate our start up costs in order to be as accurate as possible, to accomplish our goals with ease and successfully move forward.
With that mentioned. All of us reading this email would like to provide to the community with an idea waiting to be executed. We will blend our visions and combine forces to accomplish all of them.
Consequently, in order for all of us to make it happen in a timely, economically and confident manner, we all need to work on a “Start Up Costs/Estimate Sheet” for each of the services mentioned “below”, plus other services or ideas we would like to add or change. After words, we will combine these costs and adjust it as ONE. Remember, if there is money from our pocket invested, it will all come back. (I know, I might repeat this too much and probably don’t need to say it again)
Not to mention, that the more accurate with our calculation of costs (with respective resources), the more confident with the project and easier to work with. Keeping mind, we focus on lower costs, reused products/ materials, recycled, etc. Sustainable as possible. That’s what we are all learning about.
Eventually, after some of us presenting the estimate of costs, and/or communicating back and forth with all of us, participating, being involved with this project (either a lot or a little), we will all realize that we established a vibrating crew already and recognized each other and what we do. I don’t need to ask anybody, or name anyone in order to be involved with this action. We all know what we are capable of, and that we can do it together in the most natural, humble, respectful and loving way possible. Because that is what we do best!
So just to be clear, everyone presenting estimate of costs, or working with any of our projects in anyway.. or simply maintaining constant communication.. will establish this crew automatically. I would also like to be clear that… everyone involved with the Collective Wave action is to be trusted completely, there is no need to wonder about other people involved, most of us grew up together and have created a powerful honest relationship throughout our lives. I know everyone deeply and everyone knows me. We are not working for individual profit, so there is no need to expect any discrepancy of some sort. We are specifically learning how to live in community, with creativity in a sustainable manner.

*Next Event
We are looking forward to have any event, any time. We are now ready! And an opportunity of participating with an event has been presented. This wont be our event completely. Though, the community that we are sharing this event with, understand and work for the same concept of sustainability in a creative manner just like we do. It will be great to be part of this event and work with this community. We will learn a lot, gain experience, promotion, community network, sharing and expanding our ideology as an educative event. This event is in Oakland in a private warehouse. It is expected to have around 2000 people throughout the 12 hour day/night event . We can participate with anything we would like. Such as Live Music, DJ, Vendor spots, Art & Photo Expo, Dance lessons, Yoga, Food Sale, and more… It would be great to collaborate and make it happen. I will meet with Alex Nolan this weekend, who called me to be part of this event and is part of our collective as well…

*Warehouse Space
Moreover, in regards of our community, we spent a lot of time last month looking for a warehouses around San Francisco. We were looking for a live-work space in order to make it all happen, saving money and building our sustainable community. It seems to be very difficult and expensive to find one, not to mention all the permits needed. Then we decided to go for a open warehouse, without us living there and it seemed to be possible… we learned that we can make it happen by working there every day, though $6000 a month for rent is a big commitment. And many of us can’t work on this full time… We almost decided to get it, since it was in a amazing location. Mission District. At the end we realize that we will be more confident if we actually have the estimate of all costs. We know that we can do it. Though, as smart as we have become, we’ve learned to avoid the option of trouble. We have decided to be more prepared. So, this summer… since many of us wont be in school, have less work, and will have more money saved… we can plan everything accurately and have everything ready by the end of the summer.
In the mean time, lets keep raising funds, saving money, organizing ourselves, gaining experience, and learning about sustainability as much as possible…
Have you looked in to what vegetable plant to grow yet? I haven’t, I will do it this week…
