What we do

Central Virginia location 40 minutes SE of Charlottesville.Our preferences for the sake of willing alignment:
(We do not presume to tell anyone what they must or must not do and we appreciate that being mutual)

*We are not judeo-christian, pagan or new age based.  We are not religiously oriented.

*We are not politically active in the least.

*We are mask and jab-free.

*We ascribe to and support a lifetime alignment with natal birth.

*We ascribe to and support heterosexual monogamous relationships.

*We are pro 2A for hunting and defense only.  No aggressive firearms use is tolerated.

*We eat meat and butcher our own.

* No pets (no exceptions).

We are a privately owned working off-grid/on-grid hybrid homestead that we like to call an “ecovilla”.  We cannot possibly be an entire ecovillage though that is exactly what we support in having around us. The governance style is “voluntaryism” with all interactions being voluntary and optional at all times.  This also includes key tenets from anarchism to include “Use no force” and

“Do no harm”.  There is no collective governance as we see all of those arrangements as mob rule in some form or fashion.  We adhere to principles of individual liberty, free will, personal responsibility and self governance which could be labeled as true anarchy.

 

We seek to use our free will and dominion in the “intended good ways”.  This is to live closely with the land and the natural order.

 

We do not align ourselves with any mainstream religion but instead focus on basic morality as demonstrated in the Ten Commandments. On a level of human relations, this could perhaps be summed up as do no harm to others and never use force to cause others to act.  We should all be making the world a better place by kindness, sharing and a solutions based lifestyle.

 

We are a family friendly environment and prefer moderate behavior that is a good example to all ages that are watching.  Modesty is the norm without over-the-top strictness.

 

We strive to live a healthy lifestyle as close to the land as possible. We strive to be increasingly self reliant in food, energy, medicine, etc. We seek to be as sustainable as possible while closing the loop on waste of any kind. We implement permaculture principles which is a system based on the natural order

 

Seeking like “minded people” on the following key points.

 

* Anti-establishment – no religion, politics, standard western medicine, public education(indoctrination), fiat use minimized as much as possible

 

* Clean body and environment – no jabs, fear muzzles(masks), no synthetics, no gmo, no wireless devices, no addictions to meds or illicit substances, no smoking, limited alcohol and/or 420, no microwaves, no drama, no proselytizing/forceful dogma/doctrine

 

*Worldview – positive work ethic towards changing the world to a better place, balanced enough in giving/taking to be a net gain to the situation, do no harm and use no force, full personal responsibility, self governance instead of government/mob rule, voluntarism all interactions voluntary, pro 2A for hunting and defensive measures but never for aggression, truth seeking, abide by natural order to include lifetime alignment to natal gender

 

General personality – self aware of personal issues/triggers, capable of effective communication, hard working, kind/patient/gentle/calm by choice, truth oriented enough to be able to consider/discuss ideas/knowledge/positions without personal offense, generous to a balanced degree, inclined to work to make the world a better place, honest always, loyal once it is earned, trusting once it is earned

Our Vision

To exit toxic society/fiat and build enduring cooperative solutions that establish life, prosperity and a joyful human experience.
