 This community has been long in the planning, and we are getting ready to look for funding, and then start building.
This will be a 'green' Intentional Community". hopefully in Maricopa County, AZ on 100 + acres of land. It will include a Health/Wellness center, a Montessori school for youngsters, a Community Center, and a Spiritual Center where we will hold seminars of various types in one of those buildings according to topic.
We will also have a labrinth meditation garden, a medicine wheel meditation garden,, a Native American cultural center with real structures to educate people, large vegetable gardens,herbal gardens, fruit orchards, animals for wool, and possibly an animal sanctuary - depending on space available.
The Intentional Community will provide rental housing and all buildings will be solar, green, and all concrete geodesic dome construction - one story only, except the Spiritual Center which will be a glass and copper pyramid.
I currently have 8 people on the Board of Directors and as advisors and am looking for two more.
Our expected full time employment is 40 + depending on how fast occupancy occurs.
The Health and Wellness center will also have rental offices for various healing modalities, various types of pools for exercise and treatments, and the Community Center will have pools for enjoyment as well as a professional kitchen for residents or guests as needed.
We will also rent out a small number of buildings (perhaps 16) where people can teach crafts such were used in the 1700's when life was more simple.
If you are at all interested in talking with me about this, please send me an e-mail and I can fill in more details.
