A New Economy is Emerging
An Economy Alive with Meaning
One that moves beyond intrusive marketing and sales to form a curated space of connection with intention.
Faced with the harmful effects of social media and relentless Spam on personal wellbeing, The Open Field is creating a new way that integrates the best of who we are and what we have to offer.
Think local classifieds —embedded in a social field that's alive with real people, local fun, and
the spirit of service.
We're inviting intentional Creators and Stewards of products, services, experiences, podcasts, and more that are focused on impact and connection—not extraction and noise.
That means:
No Social Media.
Personal information and comments are not tracked, mined, or sold. Content is not pushed to you by algorithms. Just real people offering real support—here in San Diego.
No Advertisers.
You will see coupons, sales info, and helpful tips, but your attention will never be monetized.
No Direct Messaging.
This isn't about cold outreach or amassing connections. The Open Field is here to support 1) browsers find what serves, and 2) creators bring their services and wares. It's not a popularity contest.
No AI Slop.
The Open field is for real people. Real shares. Real connection. Real value.
The Open Field is about reducing the noise to make way for what's real.
Imagine a day like this:
You wake up one Saturday morning aching for not only a new adventure, but also a new haircut since your once stylish layers have mounted a rebellion.
Enter—The Open Field
First you focus on fun and tap Vibes to get curated happenings all over town sorted by the way you live and feel:
Work • Play • Love
It's puppy yoga that draws you in—especially since the the instructor moonlights as a poet in Encinitas, like you.
Then you get down to business and tap Needs to browse referrals and deals from local stewards who not only produce great products and services, but who bring meaning and care to everything they do.
You zero in on a stylist who not only specializes in layers (5 stars), but who also is a Kindness Certified Company with Kids for Peace based in Carlsbad. That feels good and deeply aligned with you.
Desire fulfilled.
Needs met.
One might call The Open Field "a social classifieds"—but it's more vibrant and alive than that.
The Open Field is an intentional social experiment that aims to prove that meaning out performs manipulation—and is one way back to each other.

See You in the Open Field
Hello and welcome. I'm Lori, and I am the Steward of The Open Field. I have been dreaming of a better way for us all in a world that has grown more extractive by the day. I know we are part of nature and with that are wired to co-exist and connect.
With access to AI and technology, I finally can open a new way—an Economy of Meaning.
There is much to reframe as the world rattles and hums. I'm excited and here to serve!
With much love, I join you in the Open Field . . .
Lori Wallace
