NEXT EVOLUTION COMMUNITY
PA, OH, WVA, NC, Pennsylvania,
United States
 We are creating a self sustainable, eco-village, homesteading community that thrives on egalitarianism (all are equal and share in the decision making), human cooperation, organic living (will grow & raise organic raw foods), aquaculture, green renewable community generated energy, & natural building practices for creating living spaces. A non-judgmental community for spiritual growth with respect for individual beliefs (open to all faiths & philosophies), promote non-violence & peaceful conflict resolution, natural health through physical fitness (including meditation, yoga), alternative healing & open to other non-traditional healing methods / herbal remedies, and encourage all to express themselves through art and music.
We are currently seeking workable property where the community can build a large community building, organic permaculture gardens/greenhouse, orchards, work sheds, and private living homes, (maybe a school house). Would like to be as cashless and off the grid as possible by co-oping, barter, & trade through community networking and with local farmers.
This could grow into a teaching ecovillage that holds retreats, workshops, and seminars on this way of life. We have several other viable ideas on community business that would easily thrive. You should be willing to perform your share of the workload and accept individuality and uniqueness in all people. Core beliefs are to love and accept one another, strive for peace, support and care for each other, and respect each other without judgment.
You can become a part of this awesome adventure into clean, healthy, organic living and the study of life and enlightenment. Come where you can fully express your creativity & passion. Together we can create a paradise. Let's do this!
Please contact me with questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, interest.

Only one objection: to promote a commune with the intention of being respectful to all religious belief is not practical. Most religions are based on intolerance toward all other lifestyles and beliefs.
A community that maintain the intention of being really egalitarian, must be a 100% secular and base all decisions according to humanitarian principles, free from religious influences.
