UPDATE: RECENT PMA WORKSHOP + WHAT’S COMING NEXT

Divine Stewardship

13d • General discussion

Some of you may not realize this yet, so we want to start here.

We just held a PMA workshop, and it is already live inside the Telegram PMA lobby.

In that workshop, we covered:

why PMAs exist

the jurisdiction they operate in

and why private, member-based structure matters right now

We also referenced and discussed the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples during that workshop as part of grounding this work in precedent.

If you’re part of Skool and haven’t watched the workshop yet, make sure you go into Telegram and catch the replay. That workshop sets the foundation for what’s coming next.

Upcoming PMA Module in Skool

Inside Skool, we’ll be releasing a dedicated PMA module very soon.

This module will not be theoretical.

It will walk you through:

how to create your own PMA

why you would structure it the way you do

how PMAs are meant to be used correctly

how to implement and operate one with clarity and integrity

and how PMAs fit into broader sovereign governance without misuse or confusion

The workshop introduces the framework.

The module shows you how to actually build and apply it.

Telegram hosts the live workshop and shared field.

Skool is where the education, training, and implementation live.

Why We’re Studying This Document Here

As part of preparing for that module, we’re grounding this work in precedent, not opinion.

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples formally recognizes — on the international record — something ancient and essential:

That peoples have the right to govern their internal affairs without external interference.

This is not philosophical.

It is documented.

For example:

Article 3 recognizes the right to self-determination — meaning peoples determine their political, economic, social, and cultural development.

Article 4 clarifies that this includes autonomy and self-government in internal and local affairs.

That is the exact jurisdiction Private Membership Associations operate within.

PMAs do not claim public authority.

They do not govern the public.

They govern private, internal, member-based life by agreement.

This document does not create that reality.

It acknowledges it.
