 International Intentional Community of Friends (IICF) - A spiritual ECOVILLAGE Community and a Meditation Resort
Have you ever asked yourself if there is a better place and/or way for you to live, work, play, raise a family and grow old surrounded by friends, in a secure and financially stable environment?
Is it possible to improve your life with less investment?
Is a way of life possible where you consume less and still be happy?
Is it possible today in the rat-race to become a contributor to the planet rather than just lead a life of a consumer?
Is it possible to work less and get more (joy) out of life?
Is it possible to have a LOT more FREE time and have time for people around?
Have you ever wondered?
Are there people with similar interests that you would like to share on a daily basis and will they keep you intellectually stimulated?
Are there communities were ALL food is ORGANICALLY grown and raised!
A community to live Full or Part-time, have Adventure, Freedom and Fun.
A community where you can be part of the solution to world problems vs. being part of them, a community where you can set an example and help others.
A community where you can grow wealthy, not only financially but also spiritually and intellectually, where you have time to improve yourself.
A Community REALLY WORTH CALLING HOME!
IICF is a project and may take place in any part of the world for people seeking solution to this direction.
IICF is an oasis of an alternative lifestyle and is an International Intentional Community of Friends. It is a place to dive into a transformative spiritual voyage, rejuvenate the body, connect with nature and celebrate life together with people who are interested to live in presence and escape the sleeping world within themselves.
About This Project:
The project is based on the idea to establish a spiritual and eco-friendly community in India where spiritual work and natural or organic farming can be connected as well as conducive and idea environment for spiritual development is possible.
