Creating and developing self-governing communities
for an inspiring, empowering, and thriving future.
Making Rbe Happen, Now!
RbeV.org is the website of Rbe Villages Trust, a Think Tank with a global mission to develop collaborative communities as either Remote Worker Cooperatives or Rural Villages, using Resource-based Economic Principles. Rbe Villages is a nonprofit Trust.
We operate with a set of values and principles that we promote for all villages we help develop. These principles are designed to fully support the individual, empowering them to collaborate with others in a meaningful way to live a fulfilled life in harmony with nature. It's an ideal vision, but one that can be achieved.
The strategy for developing a Remote Worker Coop centers on creating an independent, business-based organization within a formal Cooperative Structure utilizing resource-based economic principles. This represents a significant step in creating a vibrant online community.
The Economy of a Village operates outside the current Consumer Economy where wealth concentrates among a select few at the expense of most people. As technology advances at a breakneck pace, productivity gains are realized, often at disruptive levels. The Open Source movement has reached critical mass in most application areas. All of these elements can be integrated into a village structure where the results of productivity gains benefit the "owners" — the community members themselves.
We remove money from daily life while building wealth for village members. This is not a Spartan approach. Though it may sound contradictory, we invite you to learn more. The cooperative village is a
collaborative business
that everyone builds together and shares in its results.
