Becoming People will be a community that is inclusive, sustainable, kind, direct, and does not ask more of its members than its members can give. We will have a written but flexible system for chores, ensure ALL participants have a voice in decisions, use a restorative justice system to resolve disputes, and create a reliable safety net for when things inevitably fall apart. We believe that there are enough resources in the world to sustain everyone comfortably, we just need to learn to share and care enough to make it happen. Our life experiences have shown us how valuable different perspectives can be, and we want to work together with people that come from a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
We currently have 5 acres with grid electricity, well water, a septic tank, and are less than 20 minutes from Norman. We are zoned rural/agricultural and would like to pursue sustainability in a comfortable way. We are ISO financing for building (we have blueprints), and like-minded people who want to share their resources. The blueprints contain plans for 5 connected buildings: 1- 4 bedroom home with a large dining/living/kitchen and attached greenhouse, 2-2 bedroom units with small dining/living/kitchen/laundry spaces, and 2 -1 bedroom units with small dining/living/kitchen/laundry spaces. All structures are designed to be highly energy-efficient and capable of going off-grid. We are also open to other ideas.
Becoming People aims to be a comfortable dorm-style living center for adults and families that is eco-friendly, independent, and whose members feel both held and free. We will use a community-based model for decision making, and a restorative justice model for dispute resolution.
