Forming Formed: 2008 Established: 2009
Valhalla Falls
St Josh's area, Arizona,
United States
(Will be set 9 miles outside of the petrified forrest)
Valhalla Falls
 We have come to realize that we can live better lives, not only more efficiently with our planet but at a lower cost of living for ourselves.
Some of our methods return to older ways of life, such as those currently used by the Amish, while others rely on the use of newer technologies such as wind power.
Our ideal hope is to build a better future for our children by creating a better community today. It will not be easy and will require the work and cooperation of every member of the community.
The Government
This community is designed to provide people with a lifestyle that is friendly to the planet as well as friendly to the wallet. Valhalla Falls will be run by a governing council in which all major decisions are agreed on by a majority vote. All members who are active have equal rights to vote at all voting meetings. We respect and obey the Constitution and rights of all Americans as equals.
This community relies heavily on everyone contributing to its success. To start with, we are currently moving to the land in north Arizona located at the coordinates 34.861018 degrees north latitude and -109.5127 degrees longitude.
We are going to build housing with cob construction, which is similar to adobe.
One of our current goals is to establish an animals’ safe haven, for animals with no home.
Please know we are not vegetarians, but we do believe in balance. We do eat meat in moderation, with a balance of fruits and veggies. We welcome all, no matter what diet, race, creed, color, or religion.
We are seeking new members who are not only willing to help create Valhalla from the ground up on our land in northeastern Arizona but who can think outside the box, who are willing to be creative and innovative as well as look ahead today to a better tomorrow.
