 Nsumi Consulting is a long-term action in which we help anyone who wants to start art collective or experimental group.
This includes:
Art collectives
Social / political / experimental / or music collectives
Communal live/work spaces (of the not-for-profit
variety)
New egalitarian religions (e.g. sun worshiping)
Intentional networks
Collective clusters (multi-collective communities or networks)
Proto-family units
We provide creative, problem solving, and hard-to-access skills such as architecture, trend forecasting, and systems analysis. We also work with existing groups on a more selective basis.
The larger idea of Nsumi is the exploration of the creative capacity of social nets, and their power to grow, flourish and reproduce.
Contact us! We would love to hear from you.
