When vegans dream alone it is only a dream. But when many vegans dream together it is the beginning of a new vegan reality.
Invitation to create together a vegan eco-community
We
are a group of committed vegans originally from Spain, Mexico, Germany
and France. We share a dream of living in harmony with our Mother Earth
and all the beings on this planet. We
are looking for people who are single, couples and families who want to create, together
with us, an eco-village in the countryside, no more than 50km away from
a small city.
The
main idea is not only to live in complete self-sufficiency - providing
our own source of sustainable energy, our own food and water - but also
to live as a single family in which all the members treat each other as
brothers and sisters without separation or discrimination. This vision
of unity begins with bringing together those who share the same values.
The
Eco-village will function independently from the grid. Construction
ideas will begin with the question of how we can live in harmony with
our environment.
We
dream of an Eco-village that will function without money. Within the community no service or goods are sold, there will be no money invovled and no bartering. Instead we want to share everything we have from materialistic stuff, knowledge, wisdom and skills.
We dream of living entirely by sharing with one another, creating webs
of contact with other eco-villages in order to get all that we need,
share all that we have. We believe in the law of universe: You receive
what you give.
We
dream of a vegan Eco-village where no animals are enslaved or
exploited. (That said, anybody would obviously be free to eat
what they want while outside the community.)
We
dream of a Permaculture design: growing our own food according to the
laws of nature, applying techniques borrowed from Permaculture or
Fukuoka, creating water circuits for irrigation, composts, dry toilets,
biodigestors etc...
We
dream of houses made out of love, local resources (adobe, clay, wood,
stones), and recycled materials (megaposters, tires, canvas,...) The
goal is to use only natural materials found in the region. For elements
that cannot be found in nature but are needed for a functioning house
(such as, pipes, washing machines, hoses, windows, doors, furniture,
tiles, tools, shower, water plug) we will use only recycled materials.
We dream of old recyceld solar panels who were going to be wasted and instead continue to provide clean free energy. Further we want to explore new ways of creating renewable energies by harvesting the wind, the rain, biomas and the sun in order to provide the entire community with enough gas and energy.
We
dream of a community where children are raised in an atmosphere of
respect and peace towards each other, mother nature and all living
beings.
We
dream of a free school without classes and grades. Instead we want to
learn from the kids, discover the world through their pure eyes and in
return offer them a wide range of non-formal learning methods. We are
all teachers and we want this space to be a huge university where each
square meter is an opportunity to learn.
We
dream of creating a center for sharing peace and awareness - a place
where everybody is a master and a student alike; a platform to share
wisdom, knowledge, curiosity, innovative practices and empathy with one
other - in order to form a peaceful, creative and vibrating melting pot
of people thriving for human evolution.
We
dream of a place which is open to everyone, any nationality, any
belief. We will hold regular work camps, conferences and offer the
opportunity for volunteers to learn and share their talents, ideas, and
abilities.
We
dream of a community that strives towards non-hierarchical structures,
where everybody is a leader, and where decisions are taken in a group
process so that everyone feels responsible and wants to be part of a
rotating system for communal tasks.
We
dream of beginning in an abandoned village, an old farm house, or an
empty field and building our own eco houses. We don't plan to buy a
piece of land. Instead, we dream of someone (a farmer, an individual or
family, government etc.) who cedes his/her property to the community
with the objective to create a thriving example of sustainable communal
living. Once alive, we dream of a public outreach program aimed at
encouraging others to follow our example.
This
dream is not unique. We know many share it and we invite you to connect
with us to dream and work together. There are no rules defined, we are
open to any proposition... unity prevails over everything!
