Thank you @rebeccabe I follow you too :)
I heard a lady speak on the radio about communities. You need to have people sign something. There could also be legalities depending on who owns the property. She also spoke about meetings and jobs on a type of committee. To make it work there will have to be rules.
She said when something is decided the majority must be heard and if one disagrees. The disagreement needs to be considered. And remembered in case the rule needs to be reverted.
We have thought about tiny home living and do like a simple life. Well that is enough for now. Nice to meet you my new friend. :)
Community is a very fascinating concept. After doing it for about 8 years, we (at the @gardenofeden) have experimented with many different avenues. Taking personal responsibility is the most important part, which is generally to a much higher degree than most people have ever considered to exist. We also have an incredibly strong and insightful, enlightened leader who holds space for true freedom and evolution. We have no dogma, religious views or affiliations, but base our existence on unconditional love. The golden rule is the most affective rule, and being accountable to agreements is of utmost value. It's a very powerful reality and I'm excited to see others explore the possibilities. Following you @rebeccabe. I'm sure we have much to share.
Thanks for the info, Portugal seems to be open to community living, there are many well formed communities already existing there.
Tiny home living is Amazing, the best thing we have ever done
We live in an extremely small place testing the concept out. It is a tough call because with an airstream we could travel easier. There is someone that holds retreats in Portugal. I would like to go to one of them. His name is Mooji.. not sure if you meditate ... however he teaches non duality through questions. I have listened to many of his you tube videos.
We used to have trailers/caravans but we found it hard getting into a lot of places, so we switched to a truck, and found it much easier, and because we didn't have a car we started to walk a lot more.
I don't meditate yet but it's something I read a lot about. I am really into Alan Watts and his Zen teachings at the moment
Alan Watts is great. I have listened and read some of his works. My husband attends a Zen meditation group once in awhile. I bought a bread machine at their garage sale. Just took some bread out of it. Love the smell of fresh baked bread. Where do you live?
Alan Watts is my Idol, he was so ahead of his time.
Mmmmm fresh bread :P
We live in the North of Sweden in the summers and travel round Spain Morocco in the winters
wow..sounds wonderful.. I have a fun read I am enjoying by Meik Wiking, "The Little Book of Hygge"... He is in Copenhagen.. about 600-800 miles from you I think.
