We will cultivate a committed and creative community that develops and uses model systems that integrate ecological sustainability, socio-economic well-being and artistic and spiritual empowerment.  We will do this by:

1. •Using permaculture; “extreme green” and aesthetically beautiful
   

        building and growing techniques that implement renewable             

        energy, ecologically sound agricultural practices, bioregional 

        ethics and wildland conservation.    

1. •Practicing Consensus as our decision-making model to grow and environment of peace, based on relationships characterized by justice, respect, cooperation, trust, non-violence and compassion.
   

1. •Creating economic sustainability by sharing resources, know-how and skills and by supporting our members’ diverse initiatives to create businesses that reflect our vision.
   

1. •Establishing an Educational Center to offer opportunities for individuals and groups in our wider community to engage in hands-on education and artistic programs that teach models of sustainable living and that foster multi-cultural exchange and creative and spiritual development.
   

1. •Developing and actively promoting a culture of creativity, celebration and reverence for all life.
   

1. •Networking with local and global like-minded efforts to support the growth of a new consciousness.
