Great Spirits Land: Arkansas

eureka springs, Arkansas,

United States

"This is an accurate presentation of our proposed efforts":

"Our" includes the people who have agreed to participate according to the outlined requirements:

We are a network of people who are striving to live in harmony with the land, in the near future, as a self-sufficient village. We are brought together from many cultures, stemming from naturalized Americans to those of Irish backgrounds and beyond. We are artists, musicians and spiritual seekers.

At this time, we are working in cooperation with many other people to create a major project, trying to purchase the music park, and we will further this effort when we like others are able to go back to work now that winter is over.

This will be as stated below:

1-The home-base, to be called "Great Spirits Land Community"

2-the creation of income streams, for ongoing self-sufficiency.

This is to be a collective group of people striving to succeed as an established community:

1. when we have a core group of committed people who can contribute and organize financially, socially, and otherwise.

2. when we can then file official paperwork with the state, to be an organized community.

We do not propose a commune for hippies, but people who are willing to work for a better home.

And we are not a refuge for criminals.

We as a collective group of people with common interests have come to realize that more time is needed with our young, our extended families, and as life-giving beings. We are offering togetherness and love.

We honor the Great Spirit Chief.

We care about others, instead of only ourselves. We act as a life-caring unity for community. We offer resources, such has links, people, and places. We also offer networking, for others who wish to live off the land as a whole, for all of life as the Great Spirit Chief intended for us to do. We invoke peace and say prayers with honor.
