Just to get the ball rolling, I want to post a variety of offers and needs that I have. This is not comprehensive; instead, it’s just a way to start playing with sharing offers and needs in this space.
Some things that I want to organize in the near future:
An in-person support shift forum (sometimes called an offers and needs market)
Possibly another contra dance at Glenwood Lutheran Church
NVC practice sessions
Other things I have to offer:
Some basic bike repair skills
Software development skills, particularly around data manipulation
I’m very excited about talking about NVC and thinking through personal interaction scenarios.
I’m also very excited about discussing sociocracy.
Help with your garden
Some requests that I have:
People to geek out about and work on Open-Source software with in this area
Help with best practices in running a WordPress web site
A drop toaster, if someone has an extra they don’t need (not a toaster oven) (our last one broke recently)
Collaboration in learning more advanced bike repair skills
Space to do more long-term gardening near the University of Toledo
In preparing for the upcoming offers and needs party, I’ve been thinking more about my own offers and needs. I think the ones from the original post above are largely still valid, and I’ll just add to them. These are just entry points, really, so I would be happy to talk with you more about them: perhaps at the party, or here, or in another channel.
Additional offers
old gaming consoles
child care (community parenting, really)
other computer skills (training, websites)
I mentioned NVC in the original post: I’m realizing that I’m also excited about doing amateur counseling using NVC as an integral tool.
