 IdEA … Indigenous Earth Arts
The IdEA Arts IC concept began 2009 but the communal living goes back to 1969. We owned/rented houses with a main core & children. We lasted 15+ years. Some of us have been inducted into various Halls of Fame for music. I was approached by universities to teach music but declined due to inherent animosities in mainstream sociology. (legislated Christian)
Racial segregation was prominent and musicians were the first people in N. America to defy segregation but introducing Poly Commune to mainstream would have been madness, even today. I spent a lot of time on women's education developing several bands.
I then initiated a live-in studio in Vancouver Canada and although it lasted many years it did not evolve into a community Intent. It was abandoned on those grounds.
Intentional Communities are very tolerant of alternative choices and set an important example for social evolution.
IdEA wants to elevate mainstream appreciation for Intentional Communities by embedding Naturalist & Theme Community incentive within mainstream arts. An education in media/art is welcome but not a fundamental for joining. A spirit to contribute to emotional health of community and planet will get you in.
IdEA is Polyfidelity. (community marriage) Poly's are frowned upon by old N. American tradition but Polyfidelity reduces toxic, time consuming, strenuous & unproductive jealousy, rendering a healthier and more energized open-ended community. Absolute consensus must be achieved in this regard & priority consensus takes care of operational empowerments in the hands of management Naturals. Consensus must be based on understandable & harmless intent. Zero tolerance for traditional protocol designed & dictated by religion, government or habit from ancient culture. All incentive must have practical faculty without source bias.
If your friends don't make you feel like singing they're not your friends.
IdEA education can develop protégée but history has shown gifted children need protection. Security is paramount in media but alternative living adds an even greater dimension. Habitat/development cannot be disclosed due to celebritycomplications. Evolutionary trust for compatibility is required through mail communication.

(Historically we’ve spent a lot of time in restaurants because of the migratory nature of the live arts. Specialty diets can be somewhat challenging in these circumstances. When anchored in communal habitat we take advantage of wholesale bulk economies and the people with culinary arts delight us with their traditional cultural offerings … typically embodying all of the above over the course of time.)
