OUR VISION
Community as a Concentric Circular Network of Relationships
Our vision is to help create a self-reliant community of equals, who form a network of relationships and share creative abilities, knowledge and skills through which all are empowered, cared for and valued.
In the field of education, communal self-reliance means getting away from schools as places of indoctrination and "identity experimentation", and back to the basics of teaching skills for life, promoting healthy attitudes and activities, and offering a broad spectrum of valuable knowledge and wisdom that does not conceal a hidden brainwashing agenda.
In the arena of healthcare, it involves creating therapeutic networks, safe spaces of refuge, and crisis care support, through which community members share skills and resources to help distressed, or sick folk become well and able to cope with life again.
It means breaking free of a State and corporate funded "health system" (i.e. "sickness industry") that is subject to often corrupt, bureaucratic interference and censorship of medical knowledge. We need instead to offer a community-based, broad range of wholistic, natural, compassionate and empowering therapies that replace an over-reliance on Big Pharma, general practice medicine and hospitals.
In the area of food self-sufficiency, community self-reliance means a return to growing our own healthy food, joining with others in community gardening projects and supporting local farmers and food producers.
In the realm of finance, it means setting up community banks that rely primarily on cash and (ideally) are prepared to help facilitate bartering agreements.
Finally, it means honouring and celebrating traditional values, friendships, family, social gatherings and sacred traditions, in ways that enhance the spiritual wellbeing of the whole community.
With all this at heart, we hope to inspire those of you who relate to this vision to share in the work of earthing it, in whatever ways you are able to, given that we each have unique gifts and abilities to offer.
If you feel drawn to this "practical vision" for an empowered, empathic community, we invite you to join us so that together we can work toward making it a reality.
