Vegan and Raw Vegan Eco-village(s) “Total Union”

2019-06-12T15:17:31.000Z

Hi!

I hope you are as excited for this as I am.

I am in Massachusetts, and representing myself and the idea of a few people to band together to create a community in Westminster, MA, or another area of Eastern Massachusetts.

The goal is about 30 to 50 people or families, each having a private 2.5-4 acres each, all the same amount. The remainder will be a common area, common woods, etc. It’s so exciting. I don’t know about you but it’s a dream come true.

So far, the consensus is these parameters to make life easier for all of us to support each other in how we want to move forward.

- No animals inside walls or fences

- Vegan, Raw Vegan

- No power tools used for building, or outdoor work

- No air conditioners, no gas or propane or other fossil fuels.

It may be that the best use is sections of wifi-free houses, or common area wifi, phone use, so that people do not need cell phones or devices.

While it’s a desire to use less freezers, wifi, and cell phones, it’s not necessarily where one is at right now.

It’s this goal that we are moving in this direction, towards being in a safe space, total union with other life, developing a gentler and non-busy life.

All buildings will be built by hand by anyone who wants to participate. That way anyone who wants to can learn to build a house, and some lucky one gets the house whether they design it, or not... and then one is freed up can help others build one. No rent.. This is in contrast to what people often do, which is work all week, paying for a contractor to build their house, to rush through a more toxic building of the house. When people try to buy a paradise alone, it is more expensive and more lonely later. This way, the builder needs little money and finds him/herself amongst friends who also want this freedom and together they can actually make the dream a reality.

There are a lot of people who want this, right? Like really!

Don’t be shy! I really want people to feel like they can let this be what they’ve been wanting. It’s really not a attempt of a few individuals it’s just this dream that includes a lot of people even if we don’t know eachother, yet. You know if it’s yours. Come in some way, please! We want you. We want friends. We’re all on earth and we might as well come together on earth.

Maybe you want to start another community? How bout it. More the merrier. There is a movement in Russia calling itself the Kin-villages. Some people get together, raise enough money to purchase some land. Then they divide it into 2.5 acre sections, each one for a family. There is independence for the residents in this model, and the goal is to develop a space of love for the family that can last for ages and satsify everyone.

This is the video describing this happening in russia <https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bmaNy76ic94>;

Came Across An Interesting Interview On Health And Longevity

2017-12-10T12:09:24.000Z

Been thinking about this ever since I read Kurzweil’s book ‘Transcend’. Many people might already be familiar with his ideas and his theory of exponential growth and how that will affect our health and longevity. Here’s the latest interview with him where he succintly summarizes his predictions about the future of health, aging and biotechnology:

Thoughts? What do you think are the holes/blind spots in his arguments?

#DearMe

I just posted a video about living in the past and dwelling on it.

If you watch, please let me know what you think.

I hope this can help anyone who may be struggling with letting their past go.

Also, I think we should get more vegans making the #dearme videos.

What do you think?

Thanks and peace,

In the Future I hope to see.....

- Vegan (and GMO) labels on all foods

- Awesome vegan options at ALL restaurants and fast food places

- People coming to work with a paper cup filled with smoothie or green juice, not coffee

- Wheatgrass Shots available at all bars and night clubs

- Warning labels on all meat products (like they have done for cigs)

- Not tested on animals label on all cosmetic and cleaning products

Any others???

Lets drive the demand and make it happen!

Remaking the future / opening a vegan low fat raw food restaurant

2012-12-22T13:20:22.000Z

Hello everyone :)

Me and my brother Ziga made a video Remaking the future that is telling a story of a humankind. It is a reflection of today's society and the impact of the system we live in on our everyday lives. It gives people an idea of how changing the diet could change our world. In it we present our project of opening a low fat raw food restaurant in combination with sports recreational center, first located in London, but with a goal of spreading this kind of a model throughout the world.

Please check out our video to see what the project is all about: http://youtu.be/jg8dpRv7sH4

We will also remake our current website (http://www.remakingthefuture.com/) and start writing a blog, where we will put updates about the restaurant and recreational center and pictures and videos of funny events from our everyday lives.

Please share this video with your friends and loved ones to help us spread the message, as we are in a phase of searching for the right sponsors.

Thank you!

Love and lots of fruit to all of you :*

HCRVillage - For a fresher fruiture

2012-01-31T16:02:23.000Z

This group is for anyone who likes the idea of coming together and concentrating knowledge and resources to buy land to create a ecological community somewhere in the tropics. Its also a reminder to talk to our friends and families about a sustainable future, if an eco-village aint your thing. Either way, think, fruit forests, beautiful thoughtful gardens, earth homes, tree houses, THINK UTOPIA! Think oh my goodness this sounds like a rad idea, lets do it! Bring your open mind to the group and lets co-create something amazing.

The details are currently undecided so we need your input! We'll be talking about things like, inter-community politics and dynamics, deciding locations, citizenship and visas, and troubleshooting in general.
Every moment that we're not working towards the best future ever, is a moment wasted.
Let's see just how awesome this life can get.
Let's create a Woodstock fruit festival that lasts forever, with fresh picked fruit!
Let's finally assume full personal responsibility and become empowered to become completely self sustainable!
Let's get along!
Let's blow the status quo out of the water!
Lets return to nature, and get off the grid so we don't get crushed by the current failing system!

There is incredible potential in this amazing resource that Free and DR have created for us!
We're all here, through our journey down the rabbit hole, we all want the same things, and the rabbit hole leads to the garden!
Cause there ain't no logic like the biologic, there aint no culture like the permaculture, and there aint no village like a HCRVillage!
It's gonna be so magical, you don't even know.
