"Money is not needed. For 13 years I live well with blows of barter"
former German teacher at the university today
turin
Heidimarie Thirteen years ago, had a house, a car, a study by a psychotherapist, jewelry, books, records, furniture, a wardrobe full of clothes. Got everything. Closed the bank account, sold his paintings, gave his savings to those who thought he needed. Now, aside from the clothes wearing orange and a small little bag other did not. And he does not want another.
thirteen years Heidimarie Schwermer live happily without money. Baratta, trade, services, and receives other offers.
All I had yesterday morning, before departing from Frankfurt to Porta Susa, was contained in a plastic bag left in a center of charity: the clothes for the winter now, with the first warm days, no longer needed. Wearing new shoes are a gift from a friend, the result of a mistake in purchasing.
The principles of the former teacher and former psychotherapist in Dortmund would be worth in the best of all possible worlds. They are the ones that state that men are equal, as well as the diverse talents: the medical care you in exchange for a few hours of baby-sitting, the hairdresser cut the hair if you look at the dog, the clothes are exchanged, dinners are offered. "We can all get what we need, because we all have something to offer in return."
to sleep enough empty houses for the holidays, the opitalità someone in exchange for some of the plants and un'innaffiatura crocchino to house cats, for wearing the old clothes of another, to exchange books. The zucchini and vegetable crispers, offers salads, because he knows that Heidimarie will bring the coffee from the grocer, who in turn received tuition for her daughter.
Heidimarie What is the extreme experiment of a worldview that led her to create, in 1994, the first circle of barter. Now, 67 years, two daughters and a great project become a reality, says he has never been so happy and rich: "In my world - he says, sipping a glass of water in a bar at the Great Mother - finished their drinks there we could go without pay. The bartender knows that will be taken back its offer in the form of help for cleaning, for example, or packages of coffee. Free from money means to change attitude towards others and the world. "
A little ideological struggle and very existence, she explains: "To live is to live without money, without fear, happy, free." His vision of the world does not provide competition, anxiety, and cages. He started alone, and now the groups and increase the quality of barter evolved: 'I started because I wanted to erase the differences between rich and poor, class differences, those that determine your value based on the bank account and the job that you do. I know that the method works and that anyone who finds the courage to give up the money, step by step, do not go back. Now not only has to have, and that's why we offer it all back. "
The first step is to "give to receive", exchange services, you give up to useless things and take ones you need: "You can not expect to make the jump shot, not everyone can, or ever will live as I live. All, however, may reduce the value of money and possession and free from the slavery of consumerism. "
Heidimarie in Turin yesterday for a series of meetings organized by the Centre and Harmony Valgomio is "followed" by the production of film Turin IEE Pallavidino Paul, who is working in the filming of a documentary film about its history: a co- international production (also funded by the Piemonte Doc Film Fund) sees the Norwegian director Line Halvorsen, and has already bought five televisions.
