ALTERNIA-we are forming a holistic, intentional community
Middletown, California,
United States
(north of San Francisco)
 We are looking for people who are drawn to the following vision:
Communal Living: You arrived at the conclusion that communal living is your way of life and you are willing to orient your entire life accordingly.
Health-consciousness, open-mindedness, self-love: You take good care of your body, heart, and soul. You are a good communicator, tolerant and non-judgmental.
Growing food, using alternative energy, practicing permaculture: You want to live in harmony with nature's ways, farm the land and grow foods and materials, keep animals and produce whatever you can from home.
THE PLAN:
We are currently negotiating the purchase of land. After the purchase we will create dwellings and gardens, utilizing alternative energy designs. Ultimately we will organize dances, classes, workshops and festivals to draw income and to publicize sustainability and our exemplary low-carbon lifestyle.
Most of all, we are planning to live a rewarding and meaningful life in community and governed by respect and love.
Please visit our website for detailed information and updates and to put yourself on our email list.
