Why
We wish to create a new story of living with Earth, to co-create with Earth in love and harmony. Not taking endlessly from Earth as the bountiful mother, but accepting and giving in a balanced way as between partners.
To create an infinitely sustainable lifestyle that is passed down through the generations; stewarding and preserving land and food forests for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.
For understanding of our inspiration, read the Ringing Cedars of Russia books. There is a joyousness in the mythic story of Anastasia that brings hope for a more beautiful, harmonious and uncomplicated life.
I create my family abode within meadow and forest, abundant with fruits and nuts, herbs and fibers, flora and fauna. I inherit and bequeath this infinitely sustainable domain as it passes down through the generations. I continue the endless enrichment of the beauty and the utility of this domain for all posterity.
Our family domains exist together within our settlement. Together we sustain our common endeavors: our clean plentiful sources of water; our common pastures and forests, the tree lined roads and paths; our village, which is our economic and cultural center.
Our settlement exists within the greater community. We are helpful, friendly neighbors, trading our goods and services with this greater community; and assisting others to create their own infinitely sustainable lifestyles.
