    We are in the process of setting up a community in Oregon. "Other states to come" Please read everything =]
    -Thanks

    - Looking for 30 + people "the more the better"
    - Free living
    - Free meals
    - Free education
    - 10 acre land

    To make this work we need:
    - People to come together
    - Willing to work hard
    - Something to bring to the table "not needed by everyone lots can be learned as you go"
    - Donations

    This project will be never ending meaning the goal will be:
    - Money free
    - stress free
    - loving people
    - good vibes
    - more communities "Side project after this community is at a good state"

    From now until next year we hope it will be like this:
    - Structures build for living
    - Buildings for hydroponic growing for food
    - Barns and shelters for organicly fed animals
    - A school with agreed home schooling type of structure
    - Work stations such as: Wood shop, Glass blowing, and more
    - More to come

    Other:
    - There will be internet for everyone
    - Clean energy to power everything
    - Most things will be build from hemp
    - More to come....

    Thoughts, Questions, Ideas:?

    Will post a website in the coming months.

    What kind of commune is this?~

    Are you going to have uptight attitudes about open-naturalness or being 'nude'?

    How do you feel about open-sex?

    Many people want to build a commune, but what's the point if they adopt the same 'values' and prejudices as the rest of back-ward Human society?~

    What are your values?~

    Nauseation: We are in the starting processes. We have some funds and looking for the right land now. After the website gets set up we will see the impact of donations from there we will see if we want to spend more on land or put the money to other things needed.
    P.S. All money goes to the project.

    BlissRainbow: This is a open commune. I don't know what word or type your looking for.
    We do not plan on being uptight on anything. We plan to have few rules which would be
    Rules:
    No fighting physically
    No stealing
    The basic thing we want is everyone to get along and be loving to one another
    To live in harmany without the worry of every day bills and stress
    We think people should be able to live there life to the fullest and we think this will help people be able to acheve that.

    For open sex I do not see anything wrong with it at all I do not judge baised on anything just ask that sex is not forced rape will not be tolerated!

    We do not want the commune to be like the rest of the world with greed and power thats why there will be no one person dictating how things go.
    We will take votes from everyone living in the comune on what we will add or change.
    We want it to be open and everyone to feel they can have some impact of what happens with the commune because it is everyones home.
    We don't own the earth so there for we don't own the commune thats the standpoint.
    We want to open it and have everything as perfect as it can be for everyone living there.

    For the first batch of people that live there will be given the tytle Founders this will not make you better than anyone else just a plack on the wall in the main building showing your support and it is just a thankyou from us.

    The reason we will have people called Founders is for when new people want to join the commune they will be on a probation period. Now we do want everyone to feel welcome and we do not want to turn anyone away that would be the last thing we want. Here is an example lest say the commune is going well and been running for a year then a group of people want to join and we let them in. They end up trashing everything fighting with people not being respectful. That would not be fair to everyone living there before them. So what we want to do is for new members put them on a probation period and the time length has not been set we want everyone to have a say on this. But what will happen is lets say they will be on probation for a month after they lived in the commune for a month then a vote would be held and they would be able to stay or not stay.

    Like I said we want as many people to be living here in harmony but if people do not want to live in harmony and bring crap to the commune we do not want that. So last resort would tell them they cant be part of the community. We would talk to them over the timeframe to tell them what they would be doing to distrbe people to give them as many chances.

    Does this help?
    Anyother questions feel free to ask!

    Just some advice if you do want to help with the project then someparts you might want to have some clothes on. Such as building,digging ect.. If not your choice not wanting to make anyone do anything they don't want to do.

    Might I suggest building or buying a bunch of land-moving-over things that fold-up and fold-out into big platforms or something this way you won't OWN ANY land you'll be free to move like the native americans could pack-up their tipis and go anywhere and set them-up in a flash could?~

    Well the goal if to after this commune is set up to start another one so we want to own the land. The point in the end is to have a few communes in every state and other countries.
    But that was a great idea and sparked an idea in my mine for something else.

    Yes safty first is key =] and ouch that must of hurt.

    Also, if you're wondering about my cleanliness I don't believe wiping yourself with toilet paper is clean if that's all you do.~ I always whenever I can wash myself with soap-disinfectant and water after I'm done secreting and wiping myself with toilet paper, but I wouldn't mind just using soap and water without the toilet paper it's not like I've never touched my own poo before, I mean wouldn't you do the same to your hand if you just accidently smeared dog-poop on your hand?~

    Seriously, I think a majority of Humans are filthy for just using toilet paper then walking away from the bathroom.~

    Ha never thought about it like that. I mean if I had something that squrted water up or something I would use that but I do not want to hop in the shower everytime I go to the bathroom. Also humans are the only animals that even wipe most animals just shit and then walk away.

    Yeah, but if you think about it a lot of people are so hypocritical about being "Clean", when they walk around not having used soap and water after wiping themselves when they had the chance, I mean I could do without but when I have the chance you bet I'm washing myself, I like feeling clean.~


    Uh, news flash your hands aren't the filthiest part of you after doing a number 2.~

    Also, I don't like all this stuck-up backwards attitude a lot of people give towards other countries, "Or you're poor, that's why you clean yourselves with soap and water and can't AFFORD to wipe yourself with DRY pieces of PAPER and be filthy like US, how sad for YOU!"

    What's the difference between if you wipe with toilet paper, wash yourself with soap and water, and use a towel to dry off and if you wipe yourself with toilet paper and then take a shower?~

    This takes one thing into consideration having an butt-level place where water can rise your butt off, like a shower/bathtub/toilet combo bathroom or bidet.~

    Seriously, it's simple logic people!~

    Well, first you're going to need people who know how to grow, gather, and/or hunt things for food,

    second you're going to need people who know how to make things like something to gather in when it gets cold like tipis, huts, or homemade tents and thick clothes when it gets cold and various things as you need them like weaving baskets and such,

    use everything, nothing is ever "waste", avoid Human commercial entrapments like plastic and Styrofoam,

    stick to "homemade" things, live "with" the land not against it,

    do not 'til' or disturb nature in any way unnatural to "Grow" things this method of growing things is ineffectual and not sustainable enough to use,

    nature knows what it's doing do not get in it's way, plant the seeds that you are sure will benefit the surrounding area, there are no "weeds",

    harvest only what you need, never overwater the plants in fact research the plants in your area some require VERY little water and nature already supplies most of that water,

    fertilzers and pesticides both Human il' attempts at 'improving' "growing things" are only needed because Humans disturbed that section of nature to begin with, nature has it's own "pest-takercarers" and it's own "fertilizer",

    just plant researched seeds and let nature take of the rest, these are called 'forest-gardens' and they have been used by many countries many people of many cultures for 1,000s of years,

    don't cut down trees if you can avoid it, look for fallen logs and braches and leaves all are useful, if you need to cut down trees cut only 1 or as few as you need and always use the seeds of the tree to plant another one where you have cut one down or better yet leave the stump as well or just cut branches,

    Native Americans only used about 1-5 wooden poles for a tipi the 3 biggest and heaviest logs formed the tripod skeletal structure while smaller logs went in between them all tied together with rope I've seen modern tipis with tarps instead of buffalo hides but they still used tree logs and they only needed the 3 main large heavy logs once built these are strong durable and best of all portable,

    OR instead of cutting trees down, just live in them trees provide good shade went it's hot and coverage when it rains, when it gets cold you could just wear warm clothes cover yourselves in a lot of blankets and huddle together for body heat you don't need a structure to live by 'live' in trees I DON'T mean "build a treehouse" I mean just sleep in the branches when it's hot or raining or even at night with warm clothes and blankets etc. (ever seen 'Avatar'? yeah like that) if you're scared of falling out of the tree while sleeping just tie a rope to your body or hammock or whatever you choose and to the tree,

    you don't even need to grow anything like I said before up there you could just gather wild growing things Humans have been doing it for thousands of years and many have existed off of nothing but gathering without hunting,

    I think the biggest obstacle you will have is overcoming your "programmed" "modern" thinking nature already provides much of things we "build" if you open up your mind to it.~

    Love,

    ~Bliss

    Thanks for the reply Bliss. As for living we are working on building structures for people we do not have the dementions yet but we want it to be build out of hemp what ever it is.
    Also for food we are going to be building 4 big warehouse like buildings with different rooms to be able to grow all kinds of foods that would not be able to be grown here. It will be donw with hydrophnics and aquaponics. Also the will be using green energy so no need to worry there.
