Mission: Through cooperation, peace and the natural world we can realize our genuine purpose as the caretakers of the planet. Our community is dedicated to the using appropriate ecological technology, natural materials, harnessing the energy of nature, and benefiting from its gifts. Our focus as a group is on ecosystem services, their protection, development and sharing for ourselves and future generations to come.

Come live in the Upper Amazon and Orinoco Mountains, on the Guiana Shield where it all began! \n\n\ It took us several years to find the right property and have overcome the invisible socio political factions that mysteriously exist trying to prevent our Indie-pendent Ideals. \"Now our property is finally paid off and we can begin moving in\" David Wright, Project Coordinator.\n\n\ In May 2013 we entered into a contract to purchase property at the frontier edge where the Amazon Rainforest meets the Guiana Highlands, locally they call it Guayana, we call it the Amazon Highlands. We started using Ekobius (Ecology-By-Us) to describe the special niche ecosystem and area where we live and are building a prototype model ecological village based on open-source ideals. This is deep ecology and nature at its best!\n\n\ As of October 2018 we are beginning a reformation ecovillage, installing our own idealist eco-permaculture and sustainable intentional community! For the first time since we began planning and purchase in 2013, the property can now be occupied and has finally been prepared well-enough to accommodate visitors and begin the development of our modern example eco-community.\n\n\ Located in Venezuela's Northern Amazon; literally, at the 'End of the Road.' our property is the absolute last property that can be inhabited permanently by other than traditional indigenous peoples before entering a protected land area of 650,000 square kilometers full of indigenous reservations, natural monuments, national parks and biosphere reserves. Cross the river behind our property and the next contact with civilization you will find is a 100 day hike due south to the Amazon River or due east to Mt. Roraima and the Guyana, Venezuela, Brazil border. \n\n\ We are 33 kilometers (20 miles) from the capital of the state of Amazonas, Puerto Ayacucho, which is in the Atures municipal district. Our ecovillage is located on an asphalt connector road with the capital, we are located between the local community of La Culebra and the indigenous community called Gavilan at Kilometer 24 on Via Gavilan. Public bus transit is available within 10 kilometers of our property. The front of our property has 800 m of road frontage and nearly 2 km of frontage on the Cata\xC3\xB1iapo River.\n\n\ Our project is owned and operated by the Ekobius International (an International Cooperative) who are the member residents of our eco-village (ecovillage) development. The property, its infrastructure, and its buildings are wholly owned and controlled by the cooperative under express indefinite permission with the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands. \n\n\ Anyone can become a member of Ekobius by investing in the socio-productive cooperative, anyone can further become a resident of our intentional community (ecovillage) and work in the cooperative by joining the cooperative and visiting us with a backpack or a suitcase.\n\n\ We are seeking open minded people that consider themselves free and liberated of capitalism and the mainstream society. We are unifying ourselves differently than most communities because our common bond is not religious or political, spiritualist or governmental; our ideals are based on indigenous knowledge, enhancing nature and fostering the earth's ecology, instead of exploiting it. We are developing as a small ecological community dedicated to sustainable development and the enhancement of our natural environments. Taking care of the planet that takes care of us. \n\n\ Resident members can work in agroforestry, permaculture, teaching ecology, growing medicinal plants, making artisan products, developing handicrafts and through the social production of ecosystem services and non-wood forest resources through specialized educational development projects sponsored by international patrons in the Guiana Highlands and Northern Amazon regions. \n\n\ We embrace barter and the Pachamama (Mother Earth or Gaia) if that is considered a religious faith.\n\n\ Resident cooperators are paid for their individual work production and cooperatively through the net production of the coop as well. The cooperative ownership assures fair trade practices. \n\n\ Our project is beginning with a property that has a common kitchen building, a four room lodge, a 5 stall bath house, several concrete foundations and 2 chicken coups." physical_zip: "07101" mailing_zip: mailing_address2: mailing_address1: group: dso_update: fresh physical_county: id: 21801 response: physical_state: Amazonas physical_city: La Culebra phone: longitude: -66.58973 democratic: updated_at: created_at: physical_address2: Fundo Ekobius physical_address1: Via Gavilan Kilometro 24 oid: 5aead23a-7bbe-473a-8936-356fd7d0b4fe mailing_city: mailing_county: dso: Fellowship for Intentional Community mode: - source_grouping: mailing_state: physical_country: Venezuela email_response_token: dccid: access_rule_id: 1 primary_location_id: 22275 name: 1st Amazon Ecovillage | Guayana Peace Trail Project grouping: year_founded: website: responded_at: mailing_country: latitude: 5.5751245 import_notice_sent_at: fax: email: description: |-Mission: Establish an indigenous modern way of life that is in accordance with nature using appropriate technology and all that we exemplify as humans in our natural state on earth as good people.

We learned see the world differently by living in the Amazon's Highlands, now you can too! Want to become an ecologically sustainable person? Can you live in harmony with our natural world? Can you live like an indigenous Amerindian? Perhaps a bit better if you apply some technology, practical application and utilize your theoretical ideals. We began our journey down the road to life (our new way) in 2007 to establish a better way (a new natural ecoculture), because we discovered that the life course we had been taking was not the right path to lead us where we need to be in order to establish a harmonious existence as co-inhabitants of the planet. Everyone should want to consider themselves good, peaceful, compassionate and knowledgeable human beings. We realized our purpose as co-inhabitants of the planet is a socially responsible one. We are finally as of August 2013 we began to realize that dream with two base properties here in South America. The two properties are approximately 700 kilometers (435 miles) apart that's if you were a bird. If you walk (hike or backpack) the two locations are nearly 1000 km apart (600 miles) the hike can take from 50 days to 3 months, if you take time to appreciate the beauty it could also take 6 months or even a year if you make friends along the way or decide to take time to study, do conservation work, contemplate your world, or just stop along the way to live for a while. Our initial project was developed to become independent of property ownership however we discovered that people (government, authorities, indigenous neighbors) would not permit our peaceful coexistence as nomads or settlers in their territories without being one of them or allied with in their consciousness and world view. So now we have two base locations and the entire Guiana Shield and Amazon as our backyard. Imagine an indigenous native American (Amerindian) village hybridized with a modern campground facility built using selected appropriate technologies incorporating alternative energy sources to produce abundant organic foods, enjoy modern showers, a clear cold water swimming pond, individual and group cabins, that all comes together at a grand central complex where residents and visitors can gather in a central garden lodge, eat meals in a communal kitchen and involve themselves in community group projects while taking advantage of a modern research station and ecological study center with WiFi Internet access beside a public school facility for residents which doubles as a movie theater, workshop and meeting forum for residents and visitors in the evenings. Our dream project is just beginning and is constantly changing, its likely we will be in construction stages. They started on March 03, 2014 at Ekobius and will be working on the development in practice now before the cooperative charter on December 31, 2016.

Mission: We CHANGED our NAME! We are no longer "Creative Sanctuary and Freedom Farm" This idea of building a sustainable village in the forest began when I was a 10 years old. Since then I have been many places and done many things, and now I am finally ready to fullfill my childhood and lifelong dream. I never even knew why I had this dream, really, just did. Then six months ago I met someone I could clearly tell was a clairvoyant, and she told me that I am a fairy. She told me as if I should know this already. She was actually shocked when I told her I didn't know! So, I went home and learned as much as I could about REAL fairies. I read online articles, then I read Doreen Virtue's book about incarnated fairies and now everything about me makes sense! NOW I am SO READY to connect with my encarnated elemental brothers and sisters to demonstrate what living in harmony with nature looks like, and help to inspire the world with our other creative passions! This is why we are here. Come, and stay as long as you like.

It\xE2\x80\x99s natural that creative folks who don\xE2\x80\x99t fit the American lifestyle will desire belonging to a special community, and as expected, most intentional communities listed here identify with special interests. However, there are also intelligent folks who desire to work for true solutions intentionally in a caring community but who do not strongly identify with these established labels of dietary, drug, schooling, social, religious, sexual, leadership and political stereotypes. Whether one eats sprouts, tofu or road kill is not important. It seems that many of these behaviors, rules, rights, superstitions are counter-productive to the freethinking required to create solutions for a bright future. \n\ A great problem faces the \xE2\x80\x9Ccivilized\xE2\x80\x9D world. Whether it\xE2\x80\x99s about energy, food, water, housing, transportation, brainpower, or businesses, most (over 80 percent) of America\xE2\x80\x99s resources are obscenely wasted. \n\ Though difficult for a lone person, it is possible with resource-based economy that a community\xE2\x80\x99s consumption can be reduced to a small fraction of the average, while productive adventures (gardening, hiking, creation, research, learning, invention, travel, laughter, reading, writing, free time) can be dramatically increased. Freedom for all can very simply replace the current sad situation of slavery for most.\n\ This forming Mountain-based community already has 20+ acres of pristine forest mountain, equipment, a sawmill, free hydropower, treehouse resources, etc, and is ready for activity. We seek very rare independent (non-labeled) folks and families who desire a wholesome, intelligent problem-solving community. \n\ Many folks are confused and fearful of the future, some want to go back to the past. \xE2\x80\x9CLittle house on the prairie\xE2\x80\x9D is quaint, but can world solutions for a great future come from an uninformed viewpoint? Similarly, it seems unlikely that a heavily labeled special-interest community will actually have the time to invent a great future. \n\ Finding the economic and technical answers to a practical \xE2\x80\x9Cnew world\xE2\x80\x9D future requires intelligent people with skills to build true solutions.

See www.facebook.com/newyorkkibbutz for the most up-to-date information. Right now we have facilities for Shabbatons and other gatherings, where like-minded souls meet regularly. A property is being sought after by myself and others for a Intentional Jewish Community. Our current resources enable us to have gatherings year-round. Many people have an ideal notion of Community without ever having hands-on experience to determine if they enjoy the lifestyle. Another obstacle to living Intentionally is the difficulty in forming relations with those who not only share the same values but are committed to living in an Intentional Community. An opportunity thus is provided for individuals and families who are considering Intentional Community, to live in and experience community for a week, a month, a season. Bonds will be formed and a network will be created. Living together on a part-time basis will help to determine where, with whom, and how we want to live together before making a dramatic, life-altering decision to join an IC. In this fashion we will slowly but surely reach a critical mass of people and resources. This network will then begin the process of forming a permanent community in the place of our choosing. physical_zip: mailing_zip: mailing_address2: mailing_address1: group: dso_update: fresh physical_county: id: 22709 response: physical_state: New York physical_city: New York phone: longitude: -74.005973 democratic: updated_at: created_at: physical_address2: physical_address1: New York oid: 4c54a6df-d38e-4b0c-97e5-a5518f729f57 mailing_city: mailing_county: dso: Fellowship for Intentional Community mode: - source_grouping: mailing_state: physical_country: United States email_response_token: dccid: access_rule_id: 1 primary_location_id: 23196 name: Organic Tribe Foundation grouping: year_founded: website: responded_at: mailing_country: latitude: 20.24232 import_notice_sent_at: fax: email: description: |-Mission: (01) Sober = Accountable, Responsible, Transparent, (02) Organic = Honoring BioLogy, EcoLogy, (03) BaLancing = Basically Practicing EgaLitarian Principles, (04) Equity = ALL Innocent Living Beings Have EquaL Worth, EquaL Opportunities, (05) ReLationships = Main Emphasis is on QuaLity Of HeaLthy Happy ReLationships, not on quantity,,, Requiring WiLLing Participants To Investigate, VaLidate What Is True and what is not,,, what is Honoring Others and what is not, , ,

These are the things we seek to validate without reliance upon or commitment to any other religious, philosophical or metaphysical influence. We are determined to arrive at an irrefutable accounting of these core assumptions on all coherent levels, with special attention paid to the underlying physics. If we view these central tenets as an evolutionary imperative generally lost on the vast majority of human beings, it is clear that they will have to be recognized before being acted upon skillfully enough to affect any meaningful change. Since a hugely successful body of work already exists combining over 40 years of investigative research and aggressive experimentation, we are actively involved in the social networking this precedent logically beckons. This networking assumes a healthy range of manifest forms both artistic and academic. Whatever we may do to reach a larger receptive audience, we are steeped in the intrinsic meta-science underscoring this unique star model at every pass. It is important that the Abrahadabra Institute establish and maintain strong connections with as diverse a pool of forward thinking individuals as possible since our unfolding model anticipates overwhelming validation at the highest levels of artistic and scientific expertise alike. We know of no other Body of Light thesis in this world that has any rational hope of achieving this. We have a great many proofs to reveal at present, but the greatest proofs are yet to come.\n\n\ !gridproofs-template\n\n\ For the benefit of those who have not heard of Abrahadabra, it is a modern reconfiguration of an ancient word of power purported to be invested with uniquely *magickal* qualities that has been hailed down through the centuries as especially auspicious, particularly with respect to bodily health and vigor. Its true origins have never been completely sorted out but it comes to us in written form via the Roman physician Quintus Severus Sammonicus in the 2nd century A.D. referencing a certain Abracadabra incantation technique (found on certain amulets and charms referred to as Abraxas stones) among the Gnostics. It was said to be successful in the reduction of fevers, dispelling of assorted maladies and was also useful as a spell for returning lost or stolen items, among other things! There are conflicting interpretations as to its meaning, but its geometry has never been in doubt. Formed from 66 letters in 11 sequential rows, arranged with 11 letters at the top, descending to 1 letter at the bottom, we arrive at a perfect inverted triangle of letters equivalent to (but not always strictly displaying) the entire word repeated exactly 6 times. This word can be posited in either an ascending or descending direction. If descending, the word-glyph is thought to have the power to reduce; if ascending, to exalt. It is perhaps the most basic (yet enduring) example we have of *word magick* as understood in ancient times that is still perfectly recognizable as such in modern times.\n\n\ Aleister_Crowley\n\n\ While the magickal formula of Abrahadabra does not actually originate with Aleister Crowley, he certainly positioned it for maximum exposure with respect to the upcoming Aeon of Horus. His Liber Al vel Legis (aka the Book of the Law) has proven to be a significant game-changer for occult philosophy in the modern era, where Abrahadabra is linked to praeter-human stars and the corresponding notion of Completion. It is not the province of the Abrahadabra Institute to either endorse or discredit Aleister Crowley with respect to those austerities he declares of himself. That is for his readers to decide as he would almost certainly be the first to insist upon. The Abrahadabra Institute\xE2\x80\x99s official position on Aleister Crowley is that the sum of his work qualifies him as the premier star theorist of his generation. There is abundant evidence to grant him this distinction in our reasonably expert opinion and there are certain topics we may periodically engage that would not be possible without the precedents he laid in. Having said this, it must also be admitted that Aleister Crowley was much better at initiating vital transformational discourse than he was at qualifying his arguments, or even doing an adequate job of presenting relevant facts in their proper order. For that we most often need qualified specialists and there is no shortage of logical holes left hanging in the balance with respect to the conversation of Abrahadabra and its relevancy to praeter-human stars.\n\n\ lunar-abra2\n\n\ Although the Abrahadabra Institute is rooted in the magickal formula of Abrahadabra, its overall mission is by no means confined to this alone. It came online in the Spring of 2002 under the auspices of abrahadabra.com which hosted the (now dismantled) Abrahadabra Forums. Abrahadabra Forums was a grand (albeit tumultuous) experiment in what we came to call open-source occultism where a sacred space was created to discuss Abrahadabra and everything related to it in some apparent way. What we soon discovered was that this magickal formula is amply deserving of its reputation as the *Word of the Aeon* since there seemed to be nothing of merit pertaining to modern occultism that it did not integrate with and contribute to in some distinctive fashion. Literally hundreds of sub-forums were created to keep pace with all the specialized topics people wanted to discuss until finally, after 11 years (and millions of unique hits per month) it was decided that it had ultimately served its useful purpose. Abrahadabra Forums has had a demonstrable impact on the worldwide web and will be missed for the quality of discussions and presentations housed there, but time is of the essence and it is time for us to enter into a more proactive professional phase of networking operations.\n\n\ 1024px-Sierpinski_triangle_svg\n\n\ This is because the Abrahadabra Institute is in a unique position to impart vital Body of Light principles and assimilation techniques completely unavailable anywhere else on Earth. When we defer to Abrahadabra, we are referencing what we know to be a comprehensive physics of consciousness quite unlike anything that has ever been consciously perfected. Not only are we able to define exactly what praeter-human stars are (based upon its innate syncretic properties), but can also train people with enormous confidence to emulate and maintain that state of physiological perfection going forward in their daily lives. While we are still only at the threshold of the most exciting epoch in human history, the model of Completion that the Abrahadabra Institute is privy to is hands-down the most powerful transformational technology ever captured in this world. So in phase 2 of the Abrahadabra Institute\xE2\x80\x99s networking agenda we are going to be raising up self-initiated stars one dedicated practitioner at a time. We have everything in place to accomplish this right now so there is no good reason to postpone it. There is also no reason for anyone to fear what they might have to sacrifice to embark upon this transformational work since Abrahadabra does not amount to a belief system in itself and does not demand anything in payment for the rewards it has to offer. It is an alchemical projection discipline of the highest order; a remarkably potent visualization practice that is inclusive rather than exclusive. It may subtly change the way you view certain things but that is between you and yourself alone.\n\n\ There is nothing that the Abrahadabra Institute extols that requires anyone to believe a certain way.\n\ It is the nearest thing to *the method of science \xE2\x80\x93 the aim of religion* that has ever touched down in this world to date.\n\n\ perseverance furthers,\n\n\ m1thr0s
From www.ic.org/directory/the-abrahadabra-institute/:
The Ouroboros Lodge, Gallup, NM (was: The Nuit House, Olympia WA)\n\n\ Greetings,\n\n\ The Abrahadabra Institute is an occult organization unaffiliated with any other ritual magickal organization, it has been active in the global occult community since 2003 and its founder, m1thr0s, a Hermetic Alchemist who founded the discipline of Mutational Alchemy has been involved in the American occult community since 1970. Our loosely knit organizational structure is a testament to the lack of interest we hold in forming a religion, church or a following. Individualism is very important to us and strikes a discord with many \xE2\x80\x9Cintentional community\xE2\x80\x9D types more often than not, who prefer to be lead. We are leaders but do not particularily want to have people following us around so we take a different approach to membership and followers than most other organizations. In this sense we are more akin to the A.\xE2\x80\x99.A.\xE2\x80\x99. than anything else, which is purported to be wholly universal anyways and requires no strict dogma or even much adherence to any rules but one\xE2\x80\x99s own True Will. This True Will is wholly up to the individual. This makes us attractive to artists and those sick of silly religions, interested in learning together abut the mysteries of the old religions, the occult, new ways of occultism and alchemy, and finding ways to perfection.\n\n\ Our original house was The Nuit House an Olympia, WA, micro-intentional community intended to be a knowledge-focused community, with little focus on natural living and more focus on an urban artist setting.The house mutated within a year into strictly and artist collective, then back to just occultists, then a mix, then no particular focus at all. Now we\xE2\x80\x99re focused on creating a larger intentional community and focusing on the American cultural zeitgeist that is often embodied in Visionary Art and Nu Aeon technologies. Aleister Crowley\xE2\x80\x99s Abbey of Thelema is a touchstone for us, obviously, as we are called *The Abrahadabra Institute* as are many retreat centers worldwide. Core members are occultists. The Abrahadabra Institute is focused on the formula of Abrahadabra and the Body of Light. (See Isaac Luria, Lurianic Kabbalah, The I Ching, the Tai Tsuan Ching)\n\n\ We are now located in a great adobe with an adjacent TLC-needed mobile housing unit. We are in the Wild West in a great little city that is also a wordwide tourist destination due to the vast diversity of American Indian tribes and Wild West culture here in historic Gallup, NM. We are two blocks South of historic Route 66 and two blocks from Downtown Gallup. It's a great location for The Abrahadabra Institute, and because we have a secure plot now that is in the family and we can relax into some heavy duty renovations and work. I\xE2\x80\x99m STILL interested in how living harmoniously with other people you\xE2\x80\x99re not related to in an urban enviroment can reduce stress and waste, in comparison to typical urban boxes that only house 1-2 people.\n\n\ Over the years members have been a diverse mix and I\xE2\x80\x99ve learned a lot about running things smoothly, and am always willing to share my experience in a running a micro-IC in an urban setting with an Arts focus.\n\n\ People interested in The Abrahadabra Institute should visit abrahadabra.com and get to know our materials available online. Those interested in the house may contact me For those interested seriously in the Abrahadabra Institute\xE2\x80\x99s work, space can be made but everyone pulls their weight financially in the house, it isn\xE2\x80\x99t a rich guy\xE2\x80\x99s house where you get free utilities and do LSD all day in some kind of utopia. I think some people get that idea, so while that may sound crazy it is necessary to say it to some. I don't even particularily like that idea of community since it smacks of laziness and I do not want lazy people in our organization. In the past in The Nuit House all working class people or students and making life work for us in the best way we can, having fun living together affordably in a harmonious knowledge-focused enviroment. If we have a future it will be because of the generosity and support of people who believe in what we are doing.\n\n\ Now that we have managed to secure a nice urban plot in a very desirable city located close to tons of outdoor opportunities for rituals and within reach of traditional American Indian peoples who know the ins and outs of Shamanism (medicine ways), we can really expand our occult activities. We\xE2\x80\x99re doing what little we can to try to grow and prosper. It isn\xE2\x80\x99t easy, and I know how hard it can be to start and maintain these things with all of the baggage people can bring into a situation they are not spiritually and mentally prepared for. So if you need any advice in your IC situation feel free to contact me for any reason.\n\n\n\ Izi Ningishzidda\n\ Soror A.\xE2\x80\x99.A.\xE2\x80\x99.\n\ Magister Ouroboros 777\n\ The Abrahadabra Institute \n\ Ouroboros Lodge/Temple" physical_zip: "87301" mailing_zip: mailing_address2: mailing_address1: group: dso_update: fresh physical_county: id: 22941 response: physical_state: Washington physical_city: Gallup phone: longitude: -108.8330644 democratic: updated_at: created_at: physical_address2: physical_address1: PRIVATE FOR SECURITY PURPOSES oid: 3e7d157b-28b6-48b6-8a8f-c6ebe9ca82c9 mailing_city: mailing_county: dso: Fellowship for Intentional Community mode: - source_grouping: mailing_state: physical_country: United States email_response_token: dccid: access_rule_id: 1 primary_location_id: 23380 name: Urban Kibbutz of San Diego, Lev House grouping: year_founded: website: responded_at: mailing_country: latitude: 32.7486998 import_notice_sent_at: fax: email: description: "Mission: We are creating an urban kibbutz in the warm and sunny city of San Diego.

From www.ic.org/directory/emberi/:
We seek to CHANGE THE SYSTEM. We believe that the single biggest problem in existence today is GREED. Emberi ("EM-bur-ee") is a Hungarian word meaning "the condition of being human". Right now, the Human Community of Emberi exists only online, but at some point it will have to become established physically. We seek people who are dissatisfied with the way the system works - people who have a deep and well-thought-out desire to change the system, and the world. The Emberish system will inevitably become the way of the world sometime whether we make it happen or not - the only question is, will the transition be smooth or will it cause the eradication of most of the human race? We seek to make it a smooth transition. The current system is responsible for all of the negativity experienced by humans of all types, and it is untenable. Someday the non-renewable resources we currently call "wealth" will run out, and the system as we know it will cease to operate. If this transition occurs abruptly, which will happen if change is not started now, most of the human race will die - either from starvation or from the widespread pandemonium that will erupt as soon as people become aware that they won't be able to obtain food easily. We operate by the Four Emberish Principles: PRINCIPLE 1 (The Preservation of Humanity Principle): Do nothing to any other person, directly or indirectly, which causes that person undesired harm or negativity. (This Principle is ABSOLUTELY never to be violated unless your very survival depends upon violating it in an emergency situation, even if preserving it means you violate other Principles. They are all subordinate to Principle 1.) PRINCIPLE 2 (The Golden Rule Principle): Treat other people in the same way in which you would want to be treated if you were in their exact same situation. PRINCIPLE 3 (The Communal Living Principle): Contribute to Emberi according to your ability, and take from Emberi only as much as you need. PRINCIPLE 4 (The Goodness of Humanity Principle): All humans are to be considered GOOD by nature and treated as such. (When they do "bad", which nearly all people do today, it's because of having been programmed badly by the current system, which Emberi seeks to change and will eventually change.) The only acceptable violations of any of these Principles will be due to complete accident or unintentional oversight. We seek people who are passionate about changing the system, to join us and help us cement the system that will be best for all humans going forward. Find our Facebook group and join up there, to be part of the discussion about the best way to improve the condition of humanity going forward. physical_zip: mailing_zip: mailing_address2: mailing_address1: group: dso_update: fresh physical_county: id: 22963 response: physical_state: Ohio physical_city: Conneaut phone: longitude: -82.254594 democratic: updated_at: created_at: physical_address2: physical_address1: oid: 8c47a4e8-a04d-43fa-acce-b87f9e826e93 mailing_city: mailing_county: dso: Fellowship for Intentional Community mode: - source_grouping: mailing_state: physical_country: United States email_response_token: dccid: access_rule_id: 1 primary_location_id: 23432 name: A__ Rogue River Eco Village Destination Resort grouping: year_founded: website: responded_at: mailing_country: latitude: 42.4220062 import_notice_sent_at: fax: email: description: "Mission: Rogue River Eco-Village Destination Resort (RREVDR) is a state-of-the-art sustainable living paradise experience that integrates innovative permaculture design in Sustainable Living, Green Businesses and Sustainable Eco Tourism.

We are looking for genuine, resolute, engaged souls who are willing to commit to a long-term collective project that demands mainly responsibility, insight, strength, relational skills and a fine taste in avant-garde production.\n\ \xE2\x80\x8B\n\ We are convinced that individual and isolated acts cannot change the upcoming global crisis the false elite of mankind is working for, and that the main responsibility of those who seek, like us, to embody and preserve what can be saved of earthly humanity's freedom, dignity, knowledge, tradition, and wisdom is to collectively prepare our transition from this age to the next.\n\ \xE2\x80\x8B\n\ Today, whenever you examine the different spiritual forces and beings trying to bring their contribution to the enlightenment of mankind, a constant and almost stunning reality appears: nearly all of them are profoundly isolated. If, for instance, you investigate the presence of shamans online and around you, most who are truly knowledgeable and devoted to the spiritual path for its own sake are separated from others pursuing the same goals. Although our enemies are partially responsible for this situation, it is also our own complacency, weakness and lack of faith that distance us from our responsibilities and power in this world.\n \n\ This split results in every single person committed toward enlightenment having to exert an incredible amount of energy for minimal gain; if more unity were achieved, tremendous results could be accomplished almost effortlessly. Society as a whole works collectively with many roles delegated to execute a single purpose; yet those who wish to change the status quo tend to break off from others and to disregard the importance of collective action. humans have many different personality types, talents, and aptitudes, which serves to remind us that even if individuation is a mandatory yet often neglected aspect of spiritual growth, our final cause involves creatively merging with others to be more fulfilled, and successful. \n \n\ This perspective in mind, one of the central objectives of the Order of Tiamat is to move human cognition to a higher level of non-ego based self-realization fed, stimulated and encouraged in and by the pursuit of wisdom, justice, compassion, truth and constant enlightenment. On a collective scale, we aim to accomplish this end through subversive inspired art, authentic activism, revolutionary spirituality, and transpersonal expressions of awareness.\n \n\ Our influences, interests, sensibilities and sources of inspiration include both modern culture and ancient civilizations, Traditional forms of spirituality (neoplatonism, shamanism, traditional witchcraft), esoteric thinkers (such as Nietzsche, Evola, Lao Tzu, Plato, Steiner) and the ideals of the Ubermensch, Guardian and Warrior.\n \n\ At this stage, it is still too early to precisely determine where we will establish ourselves, and all viable options - including outside the US - are being carefully considered. This being said, we are currently thinking of spanning a major city and its nearby rural location in either Washington State, Idaho or Montana." physical_zip: mailing_zip: mailing_address2: mailing_address1: group: dso_update: fresh physical_county: id: 22998 response: physical_state: California physical_city: Seattle phone: longitude: -119.5537 democratic: updated_at: created_at: physical_address2: physical_address1: oid: 6451553d-6865-4d44-b94e-fcab590a7942 mailing_city: mailing_county: dso: Fellowship for Intentional Community mode: - source_grouping: mailing_state: physical_country: Fiji email_response_token: dccid: access_rule_id: 1 primary_location_id: 23461 name: Utopia Project grouping: year_founded: website: responded_at: mailing_country: latitude: -17.713371 import_notice_sent_at: fax: email: description: |-Mission: Self - sufficient, awakened, natural living peace community.

Open, non utopian nor magical thinking. A real place we create together by being ourselves. Inclined to favor a very simple modest reality based existence. Ecologically focused with the aim to actually be living on this actual Earth now. So a rural location with some intact natural plant and animal community. Basic needs focused, means growing food and foraging. access to water. Coming together we can be truly present, healing ourselves and enjoying the real planet we live on. A grounded Indigenous and/or Tao understanding or interest is appreciated. physical_zip: mailing_zip: mailing_address2: mailing_address1: group: dso_update: fresh physical_county: id: 23127 response: physical_state: California physical_city: Anyplace phone: longitude: -122.402357 democratic: updated_at: created_at: physical_address2: physical_address1: 00000 somewhere street oid: 446f4f60-733f-4968-91a0-6f1e909897f4 mailing_city: mailing_county: dso: Fellowship for Intentional Community mode:
