Forming Formed: 2008

 Currently in the formation stage, Mont Hope City is a place of immense sharing coupled with more than adequate privacy. Things such as a library, certain tools and equipment, out-buildings, and other things which better serve a community are shared. Personal items remain, of course, the property of the individual who owns them. It's a farm, a community, a business, an outreach ministry, and a spiritual environment based on loving (not to be confused with having sex with) everyone unconditionally and infinitely. This is as Christ taught but all religions and philosophies which teach and practice this are welcome. We will practice a return to living with and for the preservation of nature including an emphasis on sustainable living, organic gardening, next-generation structures, dynamic community developement and interaction, as well as teaching these lost practices to the surrounding, exterior community.
Industries, both cottage and universal to the community, will be created to maintain the requirements of Mont Hope.
Mont Hope will seek to serve the nearby communities in both times of joy and suffering. To the best of our abilities we will spread our ideas and successes in sustainable living with everyone, easing the burdens of the coming times of resource scarcity. Through our efforts we will show that earthly resource scarcity can be overcome by first addressing the scarcity of love in the hearts of everyone. This is not an escape from responsibility, a hippie-commune, or anything like that. We plan to work hard and continue hard work as we make living better through living more healthy lives physically and spiritually.
At the moment we are in the formation and planning stage, therefore we are only in need of leaders to create and define the community. If you are a professional in any one of a large variety of occupations then your input is desired and required. Once the formation has taken place there will be openings for like-minded folks of the general public to come, learn, and grow.
