| This community's reason to be is personal, interpersonal and cultural development, resulting in the building of an essentially new culture, characterized by a permanent search for the Good, for Truth and Beauty.
Four basic pillars of this development are:
1. personal change, indispensable for meaningful social change;
2. a model of society based on equality, cooperation and genuine friendship, within small, self-manageable communities;
3. ecology as a basic criterion for all our behaviors;
4. the application, to every aspect of life, of scientific psychology, with an integrative, yet neither mentalistic nor spiritualistic approach.
We are an egalitarian community. We share our income and we all participate in basic tasks, and in decision making through consensus. We practice communal education, in which all members, regardless of their age, educate and are educated by all the other members. Our social structure is based on true and deep friendship and not on family. We defend monogamy and respect pertinent individual privacy.
Members self-determine their behavior by their own commitment with the principles they build every day, not by following a code of rules. We are not a primitivist, traditionalist or futurist community. We keep or change our principles and practices according to their personal, social and ecological meaning and consequences. We have a non-political, non-religious, non-dogmatic approach; we promote reflection and debate. In order to preserve our identity as a culture, we keep an aware position in our outer contacts.
We practice a preventive concept of health. According to it, as well as to vital ecological reasons, we choose vegan nutrition and natural medicine. If you are interested in this community, you can write to us to begin a deep and extensive written communication, in order to clarify whether you can come to see this community as the crucial option for your life. | Community location is placed at the center of the zip/postal code, city/state, or city/country (not based on street addresses) |
