Re-Forming Formed: 1988
The Butterfly Project
Ottawa, Ontario,
Canada
 I am Loh El, a young cultural revolutionary living in Ottawa looking to co-create a communal eco-village. I am currently living, working and self-educating in Ottawa, Ontario, building up the resources and more importantly the friendships that will make the universal human dream a reality: to live in peace, harmony and abundance on Earth. I require much more experience in various skills, as well as a supportive community, before pursuing a homeland.
I consider myself a spiritual being in a human experience, on a path towards a sustainable and just society.
I am looking for friends, family, volunteers, business partners, and other communities to network with.
The Butterfly Project is rooted in nature's law; its rhythms; wisdom and diversity; with its focus on uniting people with each other and with the kosmos in which we all live. The project brings people together in an environment of acceptance, love and mutual empowerment to achieve the dream all people share: to live in peace, abundance, harmony and love.
Principles:
We are all one people, living on one planet, under one sun, in one galaxy, in the universe.
All people are free to do whatever they want to do.
Witholding freedom from others (oppression) in violence or disrespect, whether to planet, property or people, is unethical.
Suffering is natural and inevitable.
Fear begets violence, love begets peace.
Freedom of expression in art, culture, religion, philosophy, and politics is essential to human health.
Sustainable co-operative livelihoods empower our selves, our communities, our nations and our world.
Power is distributed by the people for the people when the people are aware of themselves.
When the people are able to sustainably clothe, feed and house themselves there will be a basis for peace.
In the absence of awareness, there is chaos.
In the presence of awareness, there is metamorphosis.
My dream is to develop a self-sustaining community that can authoritatively show by example that the current social structure is not working and that a better future, a sustainable future, and a peaceful world is in fact possible. This will only be possible with the collaboration of our human brothers, sisters, children and parents.
If you think we may share bonds stronger than blood, and wish to share some part of your life in this metamorphosis, please feel free to contact me.
