Ekobius Ecovillage (Ecology Crossroads)
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! 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. 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! 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. 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. 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 Catañiapo River. 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. 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. 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. 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. We embrace barter and the Pachamama (Mother Earth or Gaia) if that is considered a religious faith. 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. 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.

1st Amazon Ecovillage | Guayana Peace Trail Project
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.
From
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. People with ideas that can support and tolerate (enjoy) this lifestyle should come and share them and implement them here with us!

700th Millennium Community (formerly 7th Millennium Community)
Mission: To establish the self-reliant, self-sufficient, self-sustainable communes, cooperatives & ecological villages in the logistic, safe & strategic environments.
From www.ic.org/directory/7th-millennium-community/:
The 700th (formerly 7th) Millennium Community is the proposed self-reliant, self-sufficient, self-sustainable cooperative composed of a Christian or Messianic camp, beach resort, conference & retreat center, retirement complex, kibbutz, guided tour, with some cottage industries, enterprises, & general consulting services. The Christians, Messianic, other believers & followers ought to be the creators of jobs & suppliers of the goods & services, rather than mere employees & consumers. They ought to be working for the Creator, Elohim, YHVH &/or Christ rather than for the cartel or monopolistic groups, credit, market, material-oriented & for the "front" churches, clubs, companies, establishments, industries, institutions, missions, NGOs, societies, & others. First, we are going back to the earliest Messianic era by emulating most of the living & working practices of the original New Testament Church (Acts 2:44-45; 4:32-35). Second, we are going to emulate the excellent examples on the self-sustainable communes, communities of the Mennonites, Hutterian Brethren, Amish, Bruderhof, Noiva do Cordeiro, 12 Tribes Community, & few other intentional communities that are religious, secular, ecological, & sustainable villages. We are also hoping to follow the successful kibbutzim in Israel. Third, we are striving to live our daily lives in preparation for our Messiah’s second coming or Utopia whether it occurs in the next 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000 years, or beyond! Conceived as the ideal solutions to the problems of the Sabbath-observing, Christians, Messianic, other believers & followers, we in the 700th Millennium Community will pursue the establishment of the self-reliant, self-sufficient or sustainable cooperative so as to provide an alternative homeland to live in for safety, security, ideal retirement living. To create job opportunities for our fellow & would-be Christians, Messianic, other leaders & followers: students, graduates, underemployed & unemployed persons who are interested to search for, to know & understand the general truths, & apply them in their lives. To seek associations, fellowships, & partnerships with similar intentional communities in other countries, & be their mission, outreach partners in the Philippines according to His will. The proposed sites would be somewhere in Southern Leyte & other provinces in the Philippines, or when our Creator or Provider opens the doors.

Kingdom of Elohim on Earth: The original New Testament Church applied the self-sustainable lifestyle, as clearly described in Acts 2:44-45; 4:32-35, which some of the religious, secular groups & individuals globally have been practicing from several decades to over 4.9 centuries. The unfortunate poor persons in the churches, congregations, assemblies, charismatic movements & other religious organizations need to send "a note to God" to ask Him so that the millionaires, billionaires, wealthy & blessed Christian, Messianic members & other worshipers would act on and apply His words.
How to Build Inexpensive Homes or Shelters: Millions to billions of the people have the freedom, liberty & option to build the inexpensive homes or shelters. They can chose to follow the self-sufficient, self-sustainable lifestyles of the original Body of Yahshua or Christ that started on the Day of Pentecost in Jerusalem about 2,000 years ago!

Fairy Forest
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.
From www.ic.org/directory/creative-sanctuary-and-freedom-farm/:
Step by step, this is to become a retreat from monetary economies and a sacred space to awaken and experience spiritual discovery in environment full of life, love, and inspiration built to inspire a new way of thinking, living, and creating. Its humanity's time to thrive on Earth. We are currently looking for creative individuals that are truly optimistic and ambitious about making a positive change in humanity as well as spiritual healers and aspiring healers to come and build a strong community of unconditional love for all. We want to share plant knowledge and earthen-house building as a form of meditation. We are attempting to free ourselves from a monetary economy, so others who are on the same path are welcome to come and share ideas on instigating a resource-based economy. We are very peaceful and open-minded people, and we believe that we must be the change that we see in the world. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions! Peace, love and naked squirrels!

Spirit of Nature Global-Natives at Mt. SoNNoS
Mission: Healing via Huna, Higher self connection . meditation, prayer Organic Community, Spirit of Nature
From
Global-Natives at Mt. SoNNoS is part of an interconnected network of communities, most in the early formative stages. The core of these communities' philosophy is the BIOversity - a place of alternative teaching and learning that promotes alternative, we consider more fruitful and fulfilling, ways of living with a deeper, more respectful and spiritual connection with Mother Earth. We are very few permanent residents, but many more transient visiting Global-Native tribal members from across the globe. People often stay from just days to weeks to months, but hopefully we can establish a larger core of more permanent years-long members. We aspire to become more self-reliant but not isolating or insulating ourselves from broader, more conventional society. We maintain completely open doors and, at this point especially, strive to plant seeds of inspiration in the hearts and minds of all visitors, whether from the local, national, or global community. By Western standards, our lifestyle appears very simple, with minimal electricity, appliances, hi-tech gadgetry, or amenities. But our lifestyle is rich and, in many ways, deeply complex as we rediscover our cultural heritage of intimate, community-based living, more connected to our so-called natural environment, striving to daily better understand the daily rhythms of the human and non-human worlds and the beautifully complex plant and animal worlds.

Brave New Mountain
Mission: Great law of the 5 nations = Solution to those major problems faced by your great grandchildren.
From www.ic.org/directory/brave-new-mountain/:
It’s natural that creative folks who don’t 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. A great problem faces the “civilized” world. Whether it’s about energy, food, water, housing, transportation, brainpower, or businesses, most (over 80 percent) of America’s resources are obscenely wasted. Though difficult for a lone person, it is possible with resource-based economy that a community’s 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. 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. Many folks are confused and fearful of the future, some want to go back to the past. “Little house on the prairie” 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. Finding the economic and technical answers to a practical “new world” future requires intelligent people with skills to build true solutions. If you understand that true progress takes change and that the future is not the past, please write SPECIFICALLY (no time for those average bulk spammers).

New York Kibbutz
Mission: We live out our Jewish values through education, spiritual practice, respect for the earth, tikkun olam and artistic expression.
From www.ic.org/directory/jewish-community/:
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.

A Watership Down
Mission: A water-based, sustainable effort, with a view to a better quality of life. (tentative statement)
From www.ic.org/directory/a-watership-down/:
It was something to think about after occupy... We needed something, anything, so we consensed...then we travelled...then we worked...then we suffered...then we died...because it wasn't actually sustainable...it wasn't even livable...and ultimately it wasn't survivable. This option removes the encumbrance of land ownership, which arguably is impossible--or at the least incredibly injust--in these united states... You can be a nomad anywhere. You can help others anywhere. Primarily sailboats. Secondarily water-based living. Tertiary nomadic lifestyle. (tentative description)

Fertile Ground Intentional Village
Mission: Working together for the highest good of all.
From www.ic.org/directory/fertile-ground-intentional-village/:
We are building an abundant Intentional Village in the heart of Atlanta. At the center is collaborative shared space, dorm/hostel style. We are quickly acquiring new spaces in order to offer infinite indoor and outdoor living spaces. We are building collaborative relationships in our surrounding community that offer infinite fulfillment for all. We are experiencing ways of being in the world that work for everyone. We are focused on healing, spiritual practice, and being intentional in all aspects of life. We have intentions of offering healing retreats as well as regular collective healing practices for all in the community. We are a block away from an urban farm and market, across the street from a beautiful park, two blocks away from an amazing artistic intentional community, a block away from Atlanta’s beltline (a paved multi-purpose trail that traverses the city and has infinite community building properties), and walkable to an eco-friendly library. The connective and healing potential of our village is infinite. People are contributing in infinite ways, contributing the joy and the gifts that they are. For those contributing financially, it is currently infinitely affordable at 300.00/month. All things are possible. Reach out to us as you feel warmly drawn and explore the beautiful possibilities for collaboration! Thank you!

The Village - Rural + Comunidad Electricity - Urban

Venus Development Project
Mission: Self Sufficiency is an absolute critical initiation when stepping upon the stones of the future. We are partnering with those who provide the resources necessary to make this a reality, for all of us, no matter where we are. OUR FOCUS: FOOD, FAMILY & SAFETY All people everywhere deserve to have the ability to grow and harvest good and highly nutritious food. Reviving the family unit by providing resources for developing simple self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyles. Creating safely balanced environments while ensuring prosperity and providence. This requires our focus to become defined as: Food Security Energy Security Energy-Efficient Architecture Pure Water A Prosperity Plan on the land that regenerates and profits year after year.
From www.ic.org/directory/venus-development-project/:
The Venus Development Project has many things to do this year. We will be showcasing some closed farming systems as well as learning to work with the land in a good way. We will be farming sweet grass, hemp, and food. We work with an organization called Living Earth Solutions and they provide us with many sustainable and self-sufficient templates to work with. Our intention is to grow into a learning center that will support the local women's shelter and provide education and training in self-sufficiency to them. We are currently looking for those who would like to be apart of this property in its beginning stages.

The Abrahadabra Institute
Mission: Obligatory Disclaimer: The Abrahadabra Institute is a repository and distribution center for occult-related art, information and technology. It is not affiliated with the OTO, the Golden Dawn, or any other ritual magickal organization. • Premise #1: Every man and every woman is a star. • Premise #2: Abrahadabra is an encrypted key to intrastellar transformation. • Premise #3: The Physics of the Body of Light is humankind’s surest path to Completion. These are the core assumptions that define the Abrahadabra Institute. 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. !gridproofs-template 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. Aleister_Crowley 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’s 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. lunar-abra2 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. 1024px-Sierpinski_triangle_svg 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’s 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. There is nothing that the Abrahadabra Institute extols that requires anyone to believe a certain way. It is the nearest thing to *the method of science – the aim of religion* that has ever touched down in this world to date. perseverance furthers, m1thr0s
From www.ic.org/directory/the-abrahadabra-institute/:
The Ouroboros Lodge, Gallup, NM (was: The Nuit House, Olympia WA) Greetings, 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 “intentional community” 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.’.A.’. 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’s 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. 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’re 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’s 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) 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’m STILL interested in how living harmoniously with other people you’re not related to in an urban enviroment can reduce stress and waste, in comparison to typical urban boxes that only house 1-2 people. Over the years members have been a diverse mix and I’ve 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. 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’s work, space can be made but everyone pulls their weight financially in the house, it isn’t a rich guy’s 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. 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’re doing what little we can to try to grow and prosper. It isn’t 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. Izi Ningishzidda Soror A.’.A.’. Magister Ouroboros 777 The Abrahadabra Institute Ouroboros Lodge/Temple

Urban Kibbutz of San Diego, Lev House
Mission: We are creating an urban kibbutz in the warm and sunny city of San Diego. We want to create a living space where families and individuals of all ages and Jewish sects will live together, enjoy dinner together daily and share the news of their day. A warm and friendly home where folks can enjoy Jewish holidays and celebrations. Where the familiar, warmth and heimishness of Jewish traditions can be shared, however, with the nuances and individuality that accompany modern progressive values.
Working together to create a Jewish Intentional community / urban kibbutz in San Diego, where it’s warm and sunny 364 days/year. We will build a sustainable multi-generational community grounded in the Jewish calendar and Jewish values. Singles, couples, and families of all ages and backgrounds are welcome. We envision a community that feels like home: warm, familiar and heimische (Yiddish for warm, homey, down-to-earth, and familiar). As a community, we will celebrate Jewish holidays and take these opportunities to gather together with our friends, families, and neighbors; provide creative Jewish programming and education for children and adults; create opportunities for interfaith learning and partnerships. The community will have -a large common area including an industrial kitchen and eating area that can accommodate 2-3 times the number of all occupants. -a large outdoor area for flexible use: gatherings, picnics, etc. -edible garden -20-30 “family” units, i.e., 25-60 adults. Each unit: • has 1-6 people and has their own private “tiny” living space, with their own sleeping, living and cooking areas. • is expected to a) pay for their living space plus “maintenance” fees that will cover food, cleaning, and more, b) work outside the community, c) contribute certain # of hours per month to preparing communal meals.

Roots of Love
Mission: We are currently exploring these 2 questions: "What does Healing mean to you?" & "How can we move beyond our conditioning and step into our best selves?"
From www.ic.org/directory/roots-of-love/:
Roots of Love is a budding community dedicated to personal growth and self healing on all levels: Spiritual, Emotional, Mental, and Physical.

We also value an environment very low in electromagnetic radiation/electromagnetic fields/radio frequency (EMR/EMF/RF). Our goals include * researching, applying, and teaching skills of overall Wellbeing. * advancing our surrounding communities' access to healthful, local, organic food * Increasing education and consciousness encompassing social issues that can be healed through proper nutrition, mindful body practices, and fostering a more supportive, interconnected, contributory community.

New Northwest School
Mission: To connect with a higher power, each other, nature, and ourselves.
From www.ic.org/directory/new-northwest-school/:
Starting an open-minded community of kind and loving people. Whether it will be a commune or more independent is something we should all decide together, as well as other rules. It will be a spiritual community, but all faiths (or absence of) are welcome. We will try to live sustainably and off grid. Health will be of importance here. That being said the following habits are permitted: alcohol, tobacco, cannabis. It will be a community where there are more guidelines than rules. We will participate in activism. We also plan to be a hub for music, art, and poetry where people can learn and teach others also.

Emberi
Mission: Changing the system within which humans live, to improve their condition and protect our world.
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.

Order of Tiamat
Mission: 1. Enable the individual to follow their true will in harmony in an alternative commune that provide them with social and financial support to help them reach this. True Will is defined as the essential identity, passions, and motivations of an individual once they are stripped of cultural and social conditioning, mind-control, and the modern mindset and necessity to focus on materiality and survival at the cost of everything else. In exchange for contribution to the development of the Order, individuals will be granted access to some of our resources to use to achieve their higher goals. ​ ​2. Function as a sanctuary away from the unsavory aspects of the modern world, while maintaining connection with the more positive aspects so that the fruits of technological and scientific development can be harvested and that we continue to progress forward in all forms of evolution, rather than retreat into previous ways of being. ​ Among other pragmatic aspects of life, we aim at settling all of our willing members together in the same location so they may actualize themselves through social interaction, art,  intellectual work and other collective endeavors. ​​ 3. Work to protect and preserve the natural conditions of existence of all living creatures on earth, and to ensure the preservation of the ecosystem for future generations. Contribute to the development of alternative technologies to improve our quality of life, and our knowledge of nature as part of the greater whole. ​4. Evolve as a center for the sacred where the transcendental center of every individual is activated so that all individuals experience the "life that cuts through life". ​ Many understand the basic modalities of interacting with the world and oneself as feminine and masculine. In other words, they consist of love and will: receptivity to higher realities, and knowledge and skill to mold them.  Magic practice and the perception of the "sacred" consist of the means, structures, and traditions of apprehending and interacting with a broader range of realities than are generally glimpsed by the uninitiated public. Through it, we can envision Source (the Divine) in its plane of existence, interact with higher dimensional beings in the ethereal plane, and produce thought-forms on the astral plane that will chisel the world around us to reflect our True Will. ​​​ 5. Advocate for the rights of the seer, mystic, psychic. Educate the public about the esoteric and its proper place in social life. ​​ 6. Create an interdisciplinary center of research for culture. An intellectual salon where important and heretical thinkers are studied with the purpose of achieving greater understanding and capacity for affecting change. A place for the consumption and creation of arts and philosophy that transcend time. In light of the fragmentation of disciplines in modern academia, we represent an alternative to dissociated hyper-specialization in research. The subjective world, the world of spirit, has been neglected in pursuit of science and technology. The purpose of this center is to merge science, in all its advanced forms, and spirituality, by rigorous research to unravel disciplines that have barely been explored, including Integral Theory, psychoanalysis, and esoteric studies. We want to investigate myths and miracles to see what truly is possible, and to stretch the human to its full potential. ​ The methodology and goal of this center are to merge science and spirituality. ​​​ 7. Enact meta-political and trans-historical social change to bring metaphysical revolution based around philosophical principles and a higher form of spiritual action. ​ ​8. Restore spiritual sovereignty and ancient knowledge. Study and practice a variety of esoteric, shamanic and occult disciplines in great depth, with a combination of individual and group workings. We combine witchcraft, shamanism, ceremonial magic, theurgy, neoplatonism, kaballism, Tantra, and other sometimes lost traditions with the goal of helping humanity transcend its limited condition and awareness, and broadening its connection to higher densities.  ​ ​​9. Bring people together who've attained transpersonal levels of awareness. Help as many individuals achieve enlightenment/awakening as are ready. ​ The first truly transpersonal stage of awareness is stage 7 in Ken Wilber's terms, where limiting postmodern values such as pluralism, egalitarianism and hyper-individualism are replaced by a structure that favors a more nuanced understanding of self and development of hierarchy. To our knowledge, all existing public spiritual communities in the US are centered around the sixth stage of development or below.​
From www.ic.org/directory/order-of-tiamat/:
The Order of Tiamat defines itself as a multidisciplinary spiritual community. We are a growing group of eclectic individuals passionate about spirituality, real politics and exopolitics, holistic science and ancient knowledge, actively involved in both substantial and non-conventional change. We are in the process of creating a residential community which will serve as an alternative to the modern Western world: a crucible disconnected from the burdensome perspective that present-day civilization is heading for collapse and desperately trying to feed us with its own illusions and decadence --individual, social, economic, moral and environmental. Countless alternative social projects like the Order of Tiamat are being spontaneously created and independent communities are emerging right now in many countries. However, our core values and ideals often deeply differ from the mainstream ones one can witness mostly everywhere nowadays. Some of us are artists and thinkers, some seers, some scientists, visionaries or revolutionary activists, some world travelers. 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. ​ 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. ​ 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
