It’s natural that creative folks who don’t fit the American lifestyle will desire belonging to a special community, and as expected, most intentional communities listed here identify with special interests. However, there are also intelligent folks who desire to work for true solutions intentionally in a caring community but who do not strongly identify with these established labels of dietary, drug, smoke, alcohol, schooling, social, religious, sexual, and political stereotypes. Whether one eats sprouts, tofu or road kill is not important. It seems that many of these behaviors, addictions, rules, rights, superstitions are counter-productive to the freethinking required to create solutions for a bright future.

A great problem faces the “civilized” world. Whether it’s about energy, food, water, housing, transportation, brainpower, or businesses, most (over 80 percent) of America’s resources are obscenely wasted.

Though difficult for a lone person, it is possible that a community’s consumption can be reduced to a small fraction of the average, while productive adventures (gardening, hiking, creation, research, learning, invention, travel, laughter, reading, writing, free time) can be dramatically increased.

This forming Mountain-based community already has 20+ acres of pristine forest mountain, equipment, a sawmill, free hydropower, and is ready for activity. We seek independent (non-labeled) folks and families who desire a wholesome, intelligent problem-solving community.

We work to advance quality of community, neighborhoods, regions and the world through creative, practical, problem solving, rather than reinforce the old habits, fears, superstitions and backward thinking. Many folks are confused, timid, fearful of the future, some want to go back to the past. “Little house on the prairie” is quaint, but can world solutions for a great future come from an uninformed viewpoint? Similarly, it seems unlikely that a heavily labeled special-interest community will actually have the time to invent a great future.

Finding the economic and technical answers to a practical “new world” future requires something like a brave new mountain community. It takes intelligent people with skills to build true solutions. Do you smoke, have other addictions or debts? If you do not include SPECIFIC answer, we will treat your message as spam. If you understand that true progress takes change and that the future is not the past, please write.
