Kanjini Co-Op

Australia

(Atherton Tablelands North Quuesnland)

Kanjini Co-Op is an Intentional Community and soon-to-be registered Trading Cooperative based in North Queensland, Australia.

OUR MISSION IS...

To live harmoniously as a mutually supportive and diverse community

To create abundance while being sensitive to sustainability and our ecological footprint.

By moving from “ this land is my land” to “we are one with the land”, from private ownership to sharing, we develop a cooperative system of shared custodianship.

Kanjini is:

• a place to develop, use and promote smart solutions to contemporary problems as well as being an example of what co-operative living can achieve.

• a community that promotes respect for diversity through education and is a healthy, safe place for all ages and cultures.

• a place that provides lifelong nurturing, learning and growth in intellectual, physical, social and spiritual realms ("spiritual " is to express, moment to moment in our work and our relations with others and our environment, qualities of awareness, respect, cooperation and helpfulness).

• filled with people that work towards an environmentally sustainable future practising natural farming methods and utilising intelligent technology and design, reuse and recycling.

• a community that strives to have a positive impact on individuals, wider society and on the environment.

• a group of people that share understanding, processes and discoveries with the wider and global community (through papers, products and/or workshops).

• a group embracing Social Sustainability by practicing nonviolence, cooperation, interdependence, trust, mutual respect, awareness and caring for one's self, each other and our environment.

• a community that welcomes joy, acceptance, trust, gratitude, abundance and celebration

• a community that values energy spent on improving interpersonal communication and deepening our connections to each other and the world around us.

• a community that has a holistic approach to health care, seeking to integrate many healing modalities and traditions into our lives.

• a group that does not adhere to any particular religion, but encourages and supports each other to grow in awareness along our own spiritual paths.
