Citizens of Planet Earth Academy is a private home being used as a springboard to the creation of an intentional community that is pagan- and gay-friendly. One need not be pagan or gay to apply but must be open-minded and willing to work within these cultures and lifestyles. I am looking for serious persons who will work toward self-sufficient living in a suburban context with the goal of purchasing land in a rural and remote area to extend ourselves as a retreat and home for a pagan/gay community.

The home has three bedrooms and sits on half an acre. There is a sacred circle, a lot for the dogs, and room for gardens. The idea is to live simple and modern lives that meld the best of both worlds. I am looking for persons who want to help remake this home into a self-sufficient model. I have over 15,000 books that I am going sell on the internet as a supplemental income source. Also, I work with animals and have a pet-sitting service that could be expanded to help. I work in the veterinary field. At the home now, the limit for animals has been reached, but if an applicant has one animal we can discuss the situation. The future site will be animal-friendly. Organic gardening techniques will be used, and composting all things possible is already part of the lifestyle. Recycling will be taken to a new level with innovative ideas. Hopefully solar water heating and more can be implemented as soon as possible. We are active with local spiritual communities. Political awareness and activity are encouraged, as well as finding ways to make living SIMPLY a way of life. At first everyone will live like roommates financially until the second site is picked. Then consensus decision-making will determine options for growth. I am looking for persons serious about living and growing spiritually as Citizens of Earth. All paths are honored and respected, and living in harmony with Nature is a requirement. Energetic and futurist thinking is needed, and all who inquire will be given equal consideration. The house is in southwest Charlotte, North Carolina, on a cul de sac in a nice neighborhood. The neighbors know and respect my lifestyle as a gay pagan. We are growing greener every day!
