Writers & Contributors Wanted!
Do  you have unique skills?  Know someone who does?  Would you like to be able to contribute articles to Exogeny Network?  We are actively searching for quality content for this website.  Okay, so the pay is not that great.  We don't have any rich sponsors, we have no fantastic advertising accounts, and there is very little income to offset the out-go of Exogeny Network right now.

Do you have the passion to see our world become a better place?
Does your heart leap at the idea of having a chance of contributing to the greater good?
Right now, we offer all of our articles, podcasts, and other materials free of charge, and hope to stay that way for a long time yet.  We do want quality content.  So what would you get out of contributing an article for publication on the website?

Well, we'll give you exposure, along with your by-line.  We'll trumpet your value to the entire world wide web and anyone else who will listen.

How do you contribute?

There are two ways.  One, you write us an email and ask us if your topic is one of interest or potential interest to us, and tell us why you are qualified to write it.  Yes, your qualifications can be "I know someone that does this, and can interview them and use that to write the article."  We're not asking for you to have an educational degree in the topic to contribute.  The second is to have the article written and send it to us to see if we will publish it.  There are some basic rules for both.
1) This must be YOUR original material.
2) You must have the right to submit it for publication.
3) You must give us permission to publish in on the Exogeny Network and in any other Exogeny publication in the future.

 Exogeny...

Bringing in many voices to create a wholeness.  Sounds great, doesn't it?

Many voices, many ideas, many hopes, many dreams, many hands...all seeking to create something much larger than the individual.

• A place where minds, bodies, and souls can grow and learn. 

• A place where many stories are told...and retold.

• A place where new ideas and efforts can be nurtured and allowed to grow to fruition. 

• A place where individuals can find their place within the larger whole.

Exogeny...

Whole individuals and a whole earth

Exogeny...

A place where the whole works to help the individual to grow their mind, their bodies, their souls...

A place where the whole explores ways to help the entire world establish a real relationship with the planetary society by making technology and knowledge accessable and atainable.

the exogeny center...

A place where it all comes together, whether its a group of youths exploring living simply for a few weeks, a family trying a microhouse out for a summer vacation, a think tank for sustainable energy, a nursery for intellectual establishment of a more symbiotic human-planetary relationship, or a functional "green" community.

Begging.

Exogeny Network is struggling, just like everything else in this economy.  Some of the "founders" have been out of work all or part of the last year.  This isn't a big budget production--its a labor of love from a handful of people who regularly contribute time, money, and goods to its continuing to strive towards the lofty goals we have.

 Its time for us to come clean, and show you that our cupboards really ARE bare, and ask for some help. 

  Our immediate NEED is to incorporate as a non-profit organization and file for 501(c)(3) status with the IRS.  A lot of paperwork has to be created to formalize something that has only functioned as an informal organization of individuals sharing a common goal. 

 That is all "in progress," but, we need funds to file this paperwork with the appropriate state and federal agencies. 

That total is about $1000 that we do not have, nor can we immediately raise this amount.  We need an ANGEL--and there have not been a stream of them coming to our doorsteps lately. 

We are really an economical bunch, we live fairly simply, we don't drive fancy cars, and we don't take fancy vacations.  We cut corners where we can.  We eat beans for dinner a lot, and cook oatmeal for breakfast--and are thankful we have beans and oatmeal to cook.  Even so, there are expenses, some monthly, some annual, some just "happen."

This past year, website fees, domain names, server space, etc. have been kept to a minimum.  Utilizing free services where possible, we've still spent just under $200 for it.  Not bad, considering the size of our site, is it?

The real ouch is phone bills, which for the internet service and telephones used primarily for it, we are spending about $450 a month.  That's a big bite out of the budget every month, and we've chosen the most economical method for where we are at this time.  One laptop gave up the ghost, requiring a replacement, which was about $450 for a low end model on sale.  Unfortunately, it lacks the ability to be truly able to cope with the demands on it, despite being upgraded with some RAM donated by one Angel.  Both desktops also gave up the ghost, which means the two laptops are the sole workstations for all of the work for Exogeny Network.  An external drive holds archives and data, and that was about $100, on sale, of course.  A digital camera had to be replaced, that was another $120. That is already $4670, and doesn't include things like cds, dvds, printing, office supplies, memory cards, gasoline, wear & tear on vehicles, insurance, other gear, etc. that are directly used for Exogeny activities.  The printer that decided to give up the ghost hasn't been replaced yet.  The UFO Paranormal Radio Network is currently producing Dawn of Shades, but it does not cover any of the costs of the program such as international phone calls, pre-show phone calls, etc.  Exogeny Network's sole source of income is from sales of products resulting from clicking through our site to a vendor.  Our income from the last year was less than $100.

To maintain the website (and we are ALWAYS behind!) requires about 80 man-hours per week, or 4160 manhours per year.  Assuming we're paying a ridiculously low wage of $6.35 (about 10% of what a webpage designer would be charging), we'd be paying $26,416 for that alone.  Another 416 man hours goes directly into EACH program in a year, for another $2642.00.  (It takes about 4-6 man hours for each 1 hour of program or podcast recording.) 

We believe in Exogeny.  Please, join us in working to make the world we live in a place that can be lived in by all.  Become part of a planetary society and help steer Exogeny into a place where we can share our vision with the world.

The Exogeny Center is the immediate goal of creating the non-profit organization, and you have every right to question exactly what it would be. 

Exogeny Center would work to foster an environment where each individual felt nutured and safe, was able to explore ideas and skills, and able to express their hopes and dreams with their peers.  It would encourage each individual to see themselves as a whole person who was part of the whole earth the whole time, a truly wholistic view of the individual within the greater collective.

This entire process would require completion in phases.  The initial phase would be to simply become a legal entity capable of beginning such a journey.  The next phase would require finding this mysterious location, which is obviously rural, simply because of the amount of land required for all of its facets, which includes agricultural efforts.  After the land, then would come the initial construction phase which would include a workshop, as well as the first of the micro-housing units, and possibly one or more of the community buildings, depending on funding and volunteers.  Long term projects such as the gardens and orchards would also need establishing, as it takes a very long time to grow a fruit tree!
