Intentional, Sustainable Communities & Community Gardens

I know that I have a desire to connect with other kindred spirits and live/ work harmoniously with our Mother Earth, and I know there are so many others who feel the same! Are YOU feeling a strong pull to join or create some type of intentional, sustainable community or community garden with a bunch of like-minded people? Have you done research on this topic that you feel is valuable information to share? Do you have a vision of the type of community you'd like to be in? Maybe you also like the idea of a sustainable, holistic retreat center? Then why not put yourself out there! Broadcasting yourself on youtube is a fantastic idea! You can reach so many more people this way!!! :) What better way to attract amazing, like-minded people from all over the world! :) If you send me a video response, I will favorite it & feature it on my facebook pages where I have over 6000 friends- This means you will receive a fair amount of views through me, and who knows what kind of connections you'll make! The time to reach out to others is more important now that ever before. So I'm just doing my part right now to help bring people together, by opening up this discussion, and see where it goes! :) Who knows, maybe you and I will being living together someday...lol! Seriously! :D

Lots of love!!!
Leija

PS. Make sure to check out the video responses and interact with other fellow youtubers! :)

PS. I'm at my limit on one of my fb pages, so I created this "friends & fans" page if you wanna check it out. :) http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Leija-Turunens-Friends-and-Fans-Page/1153682...

I've been reading books by Vladimir Megre, the "The Ringing Cedars" series. I would encourage you to read it, it has a lot of forgotten information about gardening. The first book of the series is called "Anastasia".

[LeijaTurunen]

@tenyearbatterylife Yup, I've read it! Love Anastasia & her messages! =)

@TheEidolon7 I mean, I'm not looking to isolate myself in some commune in the middle of nowhere. I'd still like to connect with the world, teach, heal! I just want to live in a more harmonious way, you know? :)

[LeijaTurunen]

@TheEidolon7 OH yes, I definitely know a lot can be cult-like which is why I made this video to encourage people who have a desire to start a new intentional community with other like-minds (who are not extremists) to put themselves out there on youtube, so they will attract like-minds with a similar vision. I'm certainly not an extremist, and I'm only looking to connect with others who are also... you know, balanced individuals. =)

I know that for thousands of years, this continent was full of healers, medicines, gardens and the already talked about.. its a shame we have to rebuild out of this current social community. thank you for the common vision and support. we need it in a hyper local massive scale. My vision is shared.

[psychedelicbirdd]

YES.

[HumanityWins]

you can grow it, but it doesnt last for very long...

plus we can get all the food(incredients) from eco-farmers without having to grow everything ourselves

I have visited here. vedrica.org

[jaduwitch]

OMG that would be amazing. I love that idea. :)

[StaceyAnneMoore]

I definitely want to be a part of something like this more than anything. I feel trapped at the moment I hate living in the city and I feel this intense pull to be closer to nature and to be a part of something better and more harmonious. I want to be somewhere where I can feel good about the energy I'm using and where there is an abundance of land to grow fresh fruit and veg plus clean air and pure fresh water.. If I could afford to move right now I would lol

Hia Leija, the Bible of intentional community is call Creating a life together from diana leafe christian!!!!

Me and my sister are planning to create one in about 5 years in the eastern-township of Quebec, and I'm working on creating a website to present different aspect of sustainability in everyday's life with video and interview.

So lets keep in touch!

By the way, I love your enthusiasm when you delivered a message! Keep going, its great!

There are many scattered across the world, Dancing rabbit is a fine example. The key words here are Permaculture and Transition Town. These systems help to build a better tomorrow today. Good luck with your search.

I like the idea but I'm more into the idea of creating a suburban homestead, on an acre or so. I'm saving like crazy to make it happen. As soon as I get a big down payment I'll buy the place, sell my paid off condo and knock the mortgage to zero. I want to add a few roommates to the mix and what we grow on the homestead will go right into the kitchen as a bonus for those who live there. I've wanted something like this for many years now.
