Enspiral is part of a global ecosystem of projects developed in the last decade—its first nucleus dating back to 2011—focused on fostering two dimensions of people's lives: belonging and meaningful work. It does so through promoting practices related to communal living and organizational transformation, mostly but not only in person, and has developed a great number of software tools meant to facilitate these processes as well as events and consulting formats.
“The Enspiral Foundation is a charitable company co-owned by the Enspiral Stewards.” and the network has been defined as an “ecosystem of purposes”: nurturing many different experiments at once. This distributed global collective is now composed of three strong regional nodes and other units related to specific purposes, and it’s now aiming at full decentralization, as well as scaling their core body of knowledge through a sub-network called Microsolidarity.
Enspiral’s ecosystem is for us one of the few projects taking the organizational level seriously and promoting this technology—effective p2p interactions, communal and organizational life practices—in the most effective and efficient way possible without losing the quality and depth that such processes require. It can claim a global decade-long experience in such matters and has been one of the most interesting **accelerators of Commons-**oriented startups and communities that we know of, and we hope it will influence the infrastructure projects of CER as well; it now continues to evolve through the organic spawning of specialized units addressing specific functions, facing only recently the implementation of blockchain technology, and aims at dissolving its central entity toward a truly distributed ecosystem.
