Freevolution was my experiment in living differently.
My name's Dan. A few years ago, I read Charles Eisenstein's Sacred Economics and had a simple thought: What if I actually tried living this way instead of just reading about it?
"What if I actually tried living without money?"
They said yes - for free. (Thanks, Mauro & Mikael.)
I built a simple camp: tents, an outdoor kitchen, a compost toilet, a cold shower. Then I put the word out: Come stay. No money needed. Just bring curiosity and a willingness to share.
Over three years, dozens of people passed through. We planted food forests, surfed, practiced breathwork, meditated, fixed bikes, cooked together, and learned that generosity creates its own momentum.
I shared what I knew - skills I'd taught professionally before - but this time, without charging.
It wasn't perfect. But it felt more alive, more connected, than anything I'd experienced in the "normal" economy.
Then came 2020. Borders closed. Travel stopped. The physical project paused.
I've since moved to Latin America. Freevolution, as a place, is on hold. But the practice isn't.
You don't need my camp to start. You just need to begin where you are, with what you have.
This site isn't about reviving a project.
It's about passing on an idea: Live the world you want to see. Start today.
