<p>Hi Leon, that was a great post, very well put and I concur...I am on a similar frequency, I just want to take matters into my own hands and find others that are willing to do the same. I would love to hear how you are progressing, and wish you the best of luck. I too came to the same consclusion and I am presently trying to create community up here in Canada. i spent the spring working on an organic farm, reacquainting myself with community lifestyle, although I never spent vast amounts…</p>
<p>Hi Leon, that was a great post, very well put and I concur...I am on a similar frequency, I just want to take matters into my own hands and find others that are willing to do the same. I would love to hear how you are progressing, and wish you the best of luck. I too came to the same consclusion and I am presently trying to create community up here in Canada. i spent the spring working on an organic farm, reacquainting myself with community lifestyle, although I never spent vast amounts of time with people I hardly new before, I have whoof'd, and hosteled a bit so this environment wasn't completely foreign. This experience was very educational and gave me insight as to what would and what wouldn't work in a sustainable community. This particular farm had a great product, and the people running it did a good job, but their business structure was that of a corporation, one with a large mortgage which put a lot of stress onto the owners and their volunteers. I came away knowing that choice to purchase a turnkey operation with huge debt at the getgo and corporate governance is not how I would do it. Another thing is their product catered to all the high end restaurants and middle class who could afford these products. No judgement here, it just seems our system has so many gaps in it! Now Organic gardening is very doable, and all the interns and I planted our own gardens within a community field, it was great, sometimes we worked together to and sometimes we worked along side each other sharing what we new to help each others gardens flourish, it was really great.</p>
<p>After spending some time at other communities I came to the conclusion that I would try and create a vision of community with simplicity in mind. There are so many ideas on the internet which I am grateful for, and a lot of my ideas are not original, but I am just sharing the vision with you in hopes to get feedback, so fire away...Purchase Land in an area where prices are low, but where the soil is adequate, try and find something with an established well, focus on erecting tiny homes like you see on youtube and help people with design and building them, placing them far enough away from each other to give everyone privacy, plant a big garden in the spring that everyone would contribute to, and start finding recycled material for an earthship green house for winter gardening. I think having the Secret Energy Innerversity as a way for people to innerstand who they are and empower them inwardly would be a great symbiosis for this initiative. The structuring of it all like for ownership, and shares or what not definitely needs fine tuning, but I am sure it can be worked out. I just want it to be affordable and doable for most people.</p>
<p>The thing I am noticing though is how I really value this truth I have been finding and really love Sevans message and so appreciate his sharing. I first thought that everyone involved in this community would embrace having an Innerversity focus, as a pillar for the community truth empowerment, a quasi spirituality... but you can't demand people partake in the innerstanding if they don't want to, can you? But I believe there has to be a charter of some sort to revert to peoples egoic misteps. Maybe using Eckhart Tolles, A New Earth book as a mechanism for conflict resolution would be enough, it could be a start...Anyways, I was listening to Sacha Stone because he has this wonderful community initiative called A new earth project, and while listening to an interview the host asked why his community would work when so many others have failed, 'Every community has failed because they bow to the Cabal, the head of the snake has to be cut off' which is exactly what he and Sevan, and Kate and so many others are trying to expose...it's ironic that I heard this interview just after I visited 3 different communities and came to a similar conclusion, i just hadn't realized how deep the lies had gone until, well, just recently.</p>
<p>So there are some thoughts, I hope to hear what you think, and look forward to learning more about your efforts.</p>

<p>Leon, Thank you for starting this conversation. I am new to the resistance and just starting to get involved. The information being shared in this conversation is wonderful. I am working toward similar goals with a focus on urban homesteading as I do not feel the draw to move out of the small city I live in.

<p>Leon, Thank you for starting this conversation. I am new to the resistance and just starting to get involved. The information being shared in this conversation is wonderful. I am working toward similar goals with a focus on urban homesteading as I do not feel the draw to move out of the small city I live in. The idea of being in country is appealing but in practice I keep finding myself wanting to stay put and set an example for fellow city dwellers on how to work with nature to achieve the creation of a community based in choice and freedom. </p>
<p>Currently I homeschool, garden, have a background in integrative nutrition, and live as seasonally and locally as I can. Every year I commit to learning new skills.</p>
<p>Can any of the permaculture folks direct me to more information on transforming the organic garden I have over to a natural farming type garden? I have a small city lot with raised beds in the back yard. The entire front yard is a perennial flower garden that I'd like to transition to having more eatables in.

<p>Not sure who might be interested but I recently came across this Open Source, as they call it R D I Y and I think it is a fabulous idea.Hopefully this was not already shared and I missed seeing it.</p>
<p> I personally am not into hydroponics and am currently setting up a small test aquaponics in my house to work out the kinks before we go larger but lots of people would benefit from a people's patent for something like this. Enjoy! Wholeness and balance!…</p>

<p>Wholeness Leon! Absolutely agree and love your ideas.
