Julian Lauzzana: Community Homesteading as Comprehensive Eco-Social Realignment
A former resident of Arcosanti discusses ideas about reclaiming spaces both in suburbia and the popular rise in people moving to "community homesteads" in the country.
Julian Lauzzana bought a property in rural Michigan in 2011 and has since turned it into an active homestead through Earthen Heart, LLC. We discuss the joys and challenges of communal spaces in realistic detail. We also talk about food growing initiatives and how it's virtually impossible to tackle every problem at once. The social dynamics extend to online spaces as well, and we need a better mapping of how these work and ALSO we need to find a way to glean wisdom from those who are NOT using digital tools to communicate and to share and proliferate this wisdom in our online tools.
Finally, Julian shares his notion of the need to do away with idealogical monoculture, in that "Anywhere can be transformed, it doesn't have to be in an Archology or in a community homestead. The point is to start talking to each other and being, making space for different opinions.We're not gonna agree about everything. And if we did, that'd be a different project... maybe the Androids That Are All Programmed the Same, Project. Project Earth is diversity."

Every year, the Buckminster Fuller Institute (https://www.bfi.org) hosts a dynamic event called Trimtab Space Camp, and each event encourages participants to join or host a Mission, the collaborative learning component of this 8-week online event. This year's Space Camp: Towards Climate Stabilization hosted 20 Missions with over 150 participants. At the end of the eight-week journey, crew-members from each Mission have 5 minutes to share their results with the group and the wider BFI community of over 100,000 people.
The Spaceship Earth Mission Log project will be interviewing leaders from each of the 20 Missions over the next 8 weeks beyond the close of this Space Camp. Subscribe to make deeper connections and be notified when each Mission Log comes out!
Steven Leavitt hosts this series, and is the host of The Language of Creativity podcast, https://www.thelanguageofcreativity.com. He has attended four Space Camps since 2020 and is inspired by Buckminster Fuller's quote: “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
