Money is not the only resource that people have to bring to the table to bring about social transformation. They have other resources they can share such as expertise, skills, passions, sweat capital and knowledge born out of their own experiences.

Co-creative abundance is like bringing together a jazz band to create a transformative piece of music.  Each instrument has a contribution to make to the whole piece of music.  Each one has a voice that sings a particular melody and harmony.  At times it plays in harmony with other instruments.  At other times, the conductor points to the player of this instrument who improvises and plays an amazing solo.

The players weave their instruments’ voices together in harmony, weaving together, swirling around each other, privileging one another at different times, in order to make exquisite music. Together with the conductor, they co-create a unique sound, an imaginative work of art.

Similarly social change artists are like jazz conductors or jazz players in a jazz band, who come together to co-create imaginative and playful social transformation, a work of art that has never existed until now.
