I think that communication is the key to being successful using the GFRF concept.  I think there are many people who to some extent already think this way, but because we are all so used to the prevailing system of economic exchange, the idea comes across as strange and maybe even hard to understand.  This can put them off wanting to exchange on this basis if they don’t feel like they understand it.

Providing clear concise information can help people to understand and be comfortable interacting with the GFRF concept.  That is part of what this website is about of course, and I plan to keep expanding, updating and refining the information on this site to make it easier for people to understand GFRF.  But this website will not be everyone’s first contact with GFRF.  I know in my clinic, I have sometimes referred people to this website or to my first blog post about this idea here, but other times that hasn’t been convenient and it would have been nice to have something short to hand them on the spot for them to read about the concept.

So I have written up a very brief description of the concept that fits on an A5 piece of paper so I can have this ready for such occasions.  Also with the upcoming workshops that I am offering on a GFRF basis, there will be people who find out about the workshops who will not know about the GFRF concept as I will not be in contact with them so there will not be an opportunity to have a conversation about it and explain it, so I am going to print the A5 information on the back of the flyers for my workshops as well.

I have attached a PDF of the flyer below.  Feel free to use this if you are using GFRF and this is useful to you.  I expect I will review this document from time to time as I learn how to better communicate the GFRF concept to people.
