We are doing it, for ourselves and our families and our communities. There is no other solution available. So, join us. It's a beautiful feeling. Become a seed of consciousness in your community. Start by becoming a member of ONE SMALL TOWN, and tell everyone. The next few months will be critical in laying a strong global foundation of connected, and united communities across the world.
