Fractal Regenerative Technologies invites you to get to know about the inspiring Grassroots Economics by its founder Will Ruddick.

Will Ruddick will share a presentation on resource coordination practices,  explaining his transition from Community Inclusion Currencies to the more foundational concept of commitment pooling protocols, nourished by his research and studies of the commons , of the indigenous practices of Mwerya and Dhome in Kenya as well as the wisdom held in nature to inspire and heal our social infrastructure and our addiction to and dependency on money.
