Sweet Sunnah
London, Ontario,
Canada
 We are looking to unite families to start spending time together with the long term goal of setting up a shared farm in Ontario. On this farm we would like to be able to product our own food, fuel, eco housing and extras to be sold for profit to fund our families' needs.
We would like to start with one pot luck every two weeks to get to know each other. We would also like to start gardening in community gardens to share.
This community is for people with children or those about to start their families. To provide a safe environment for our children there is a small screening process.
We ask that you are the following-
high school graduate or equal
have managable debts with no bankruptcy
no felony criminal record
a strong spirutal belief in God and His Messanger
have Sufi leanings
have a non materalistic attitude
have a frugal mind set
have or want to learn old school skills
like canning, soap making, sewing, wood work etc
dress modestly
pray five times a day
This is an excellent chance to provide for our children and families a pure and healthy lifestyle. One that is rooted in the planet and spiritual traditions.
We are open to all people of color.
