The Common Council
What one Hearth has, every Hearth may ask for.
The Council is the bridge between local Hearths — a public exchange of tools, harvests, expertise, code, art, and care. No silos. No gatekeepers. Daylight as discipline.
Mutual Aid Pool
Surplus harvest, equipment, transport, lodging — posted by Hearths, claimed by Hearths.
Scientific Exchange
Open-source clinic protocols, soil data, firmware, datasets. Peer-reviewed by the Assembly of Sages.
Artistic Exchange
Music, liturgy, illustration, film. Shared under permissive licenses, attributed to their makers.
