“We have what we need, if we use what we have.” - Dr. Edgar Cahn.

I first read about Time Banking, an alternate currency based on reciprocity, ten years ago in Time Magazine. I joined the Echo Park Time Bank and not only met my neighbors but had doors opened and tried many new things from acupuncture to drum lessons, vegan cooking and even square dancing. In return I helped with social media, philanthropy, and music biz advice in the Time Bank. Inspired - I once attended a conference to hear Dr. Edgar Cahn speak and recently got the magical opportunity to do a fireside chat with him in my living room. Ying is taking the Time Banking concept to a new level and I got to dig deeper with one of my modern day heroes.
