Queen City Sovereignty Salon: Second Gathering

The Queen City Sovereignty Salon is a local discussion and community-building group in Staunton exploring practical approaches to resilience, sovereignty, and innovation. We bring together curious, civically minded people to exchange ideas and develop local solutions for greater independence and mutual support. Topics often include local economics, open-source technology (Bitcoin, Nostr, mesh networks), repair clinics, time banking, bartering systems, and other cooperative models that help communities thrive outside traditional frameworks. Each session blends open conversation, shared learning, and collaboration on tangible projects that strengthen both individual and collective autonomy.
