"The ongoing question of my own soul has been the search for
practical
models of land relationship for the "next" human culture.
Sustainability ... leaving a given place better than we found it, in
simplest terms, is the value against which my own behaviors are
measured."
"We are looking to attract and create a small core group of stable,
self-reliant, charismatic, grounded, country farmer style spiritual
pioneers as a supportive role model or example that grows and divides
like a cell into supportive splinter pods or families. Our simple but
fair and powerful unique council format guarantees freedom from
control, co-dependency, and domination for all those ready and
responsible enough to get seriously involved"
"The Reclaiming group has a major get-together planned for next
weekend (Nov 17, 2006), meeting in Santa Fe, NM. This will be the
first real session and is being moderated by Diana Leafe Christian,
the author of "Creating a Life Together". So as far as "vision,
values and goals" are concerned we don't have anything more than the
general ideas surrounding Permaculture and Reclaiming."
"I want to make a contribution to
bettering the situation for my daughter's generation and future
generations."
"walk together
as a community of people, that journey from the heart, not only to be
there for others, but to be there for ourselves as we heal, grow and
walk together on this amazing earth. "
"I believe that there is a distinct possibility of the failure of
infrastructures in our society in the next several decades. '
"as such I believe that a group of people living close to one
another
or sharing connecting lands may live in a cooperative manner to help
with one another’s' material, spiritual, security and other needs
while respecting and protecting one another’s' inherent rights of
privacy, and self determination."
"My vision is quite simple. I.C. that would stand the tests of time
must have as its cornerstone a sustainable agriculture project that is
maintained by the I.C. and must also have a competent "working
committee" that is directly involved in it's success"
"Our vision, values, and goals are:
Dedicated to caring for people and the Earth, and recognizing the
Oneness of all life, we come together to create and to sustain beyond
our lifetimes a learning community village, by gaining the skills,
cultivating the attitudes and sharing with the public the resources
for a holistic, regenerative culture.
"
"We are getting pastures cleared and
barns built. During the winter we plan to get some area cleared for
planting field corn so we wont have to buy it. We are trying
different ways of saving seeds for planting again. Again, this is so
we wont have to buy in the future. We are looking into antique types
of fruit and vegetables that we can keep and keep going for many,
many years. This farm is getting off to a good start and we are
still looking for possible ways of doing things. "
"The point of the exercise is to generate and to tap into the
interest
of a critical mass, for a genuine practice of love and truth and to
set sail together on becoming a mature people of all people. In
other words, I work to bring in view, a practical sample of the inner
wealth of the global citizens, where sustainability and diversity are
rooted in the unity of our care for each other. "
