Though I personally am not in the market to move to a zone...I checked this guy out..and he is heavily affiliated with the Agape international spiritual center...and I am very familiar with them...I have been to many of their week day service...it is not a "religious" group..and very active in the community....Michael Beckwith was featured in the movie "The Secret"...and is a mover and shaker of things for a better future...and comes straight from the heart. My son John, who is at Burning Man right now...goes there with a group he does his Stilt Circus with..they are all involved with the center.

This group stems from there..and he sells his artwork there at the center.
So..I give this group a great big thumbs up... Their direction is overwhelmingly for the better of mankind...and love of spirit..from the heart I've seen the things that this group can do and have done for the community...positive direction...truly

Here is some vital information provided by the editor of Communities Magazine, listing the essential ingredients needed to form and sustain a successful community. Statistics show that 9 out of 10 Intentional Communitites fail and only 10% actually make it a success:

Six Ingredients for Forming Communities
(That Help Reduce Conflict Down the Road)


1. Choosing a fair, participatory decision-making process that is appropriate for the group. And if it's consensus, getting trained in it.

2. Identifying their vision and creating a vision statement.

3. Learning what resources, information, skills, and tasks they would need, and then either learning or hiring them.

4. Drawing up clear agreements, in writing.

5. Learning good communication skills, and making clear communication a priority, including ways of reducing conflict.

6. Selecting cofounders and new members for emotional well-being.


So the last ingredient is to choose people who've already demonstrated they can get along well with others.

Creating healthy, viable communities is one of the finest projects we can undertake. And we can learn to set systems in place — right from the beginning — that give us the best chance of success.

Timelinks, the Dubai-based environmental design company, will launch a city of the future, during the upcoming Cityscape Dubai.

The event will be held between the 6th and 9th October at the Dubai International Exhibition Center.

The City, called Ziggurat project, will be shaped in the form of a futuristic pyramid, supporting the entire community, comprising a population of one million, by harnessing the power of nature.

The Managing Director of Timelinks, Ridas Matonis, agrees that Ziggurat communities can be 100 percent self-sufficient in terms of energy. Apart from utilizing the steam power, the building will also employ the wind turbine technology, to exploit natural energy resources.

The Pyramid tower which spreads across 2.3 square kilometer has several other advantages to its credit. The cities can be accommodated in complexes, which will take up only less than 10 percent of the original land space. The private and public landscaping can be used for leisure pursuits or can be irrigated as agricultural land.

"In case these projects were realized, the world will get to witness communities that are sustainable, environment-friendly and in sync with nature's surroundings. The concept will also give a better quality of life for inhabitants. Transportation within the complex will be carried out through an integrated 360 degree network, so that cars would be redundant," said Matonis.

Timelinks has already planned the design and technology to be incorporated into the project. A number of eminent professors from Europe will be available to explain the technicalities of the Ziggurat project works, and the manner in which these communities could be integrated into the master projects.

Inter-Community Project Announcement

An inter-community project has been created between the Rainbow Community and TtC. The project provides support for the Rainbow Community start-up. TtC will finance the building of the Rainbow Community residence center. Members will finance the operation of the center including the maintenance equipment and the facilities related to self-sufficiency (growing food, aquaponics, etc.).

This inter-community project is intended to be a prototype of a working relationship that can foster the growth of a community network. Exchange programs and knowledge sharing are some other expected benefits to come out of the project. Financial support has allowed the membership monetary requirements to be minimized for the Rainbow Community. Potential members that are interested in joining a spiritual based, self-sufficient community are encouraged to apply.
TtC, founder for TtC Community
Wayne Tom, founder for Rainbow Community

For potential member applications, please contact:
Wayne Tom at wayne49s@gmail.com for Rainbow Community
TtC at http://www.tracethecircle.com/ for TtC Community

Reference:
Rainbow Community: This community is located in the Laurentians of Quebec, on a 100+ acres piece of land.
TtC Community: Several communities are planned for multiple locations, but initial start-up is in Montana on a 10,000+ acre area of land.

Hello everyone..

My purpose of this post is to try to find a place where I can be a part of a goal oriented community within the U.S. or Canada. Currently I live in Florida.

To try and keep this short, I will explain my situation without too many extreme details. Those can be discussed later on a person to person basis as needed.

I am forty years old and have no children or family to care for at this time. I have been out of work to an extremely large degree for almost a full year now and financial survival has been at a minimum. Surviving on an average of about $400.00 per month, which is around 1/4 of the living costs in my situation. The home I live in is rented and I am quite in debt. Also it is in foreclosure status at this time. A friend owns it so he has allowed me to stay per his big heart. But it's not forever.
Regardless, I have kept my electricity and water services going by way of minimal use. I have had temporary help for food which will be ending in another month or two, I cannot recall to be honest, as time has seemingly stopped for me in some ways. The only thing I own is my truck. I have no bank accounts, no stocks, bonds, property or any other sources of possible income. I have been a builder for almost 20 years in many different fields of construction. All have been self taught to a great degree. There is nothing I cannot learn to do in my mind, as I am not limited to just construction obviously, but that doesn't matter here.

On a spiritual note I would like to tell you that I consider myself to be embedded within the consciousness of all things representing the global need for positive change. I am quite aware of what most of us knew as reality at one time in our life and I am also aware of the increasing change that is coming about in all matters. I have always considered myself to be a truly good man, who only desires the prospect of shared peace in the world which we know as home.

So my question for all of you is this and only this...:

Does anyone know of a place or a community like which is discussed in this topic, where I might be able to secure a place for myself?

The only thing I can truly offer is my honesty, good spirited ways and my many skills in trade.... even if it mean't that I would have to survive outside somehow on a piece of land, I would do so gladly.
I cannot express enough how very strongly I feel the need to become a part of something like this, rather than accepting the norm which would be aquiring a feeble job locally here, just to "hang on" a little longer.. To me that is no longer a viable option... I Must follow my inuition on this and try to procure a place within a community of like minded people.
If anyone here can spark even the smallest bit of information, so that I can take my next steps, I would be eternally and internally greatful.. Somehow I feel like I am dying inside, due to the stagnancy of my situation...

I have been long winded..
Sending you all powerful streams of peace,
Steve.....

SteveMick,

Welcome to Avalon.

I give you alot of credit for really putting yourself out there.

Perhaps the right person will see your post and give you a lead.

In the meantime, I suggest visualizing yourself in the type of community
that you would like to live as if it were already a reality.

You can manifest this.

Your situation sounds quite difficult. I have said a prayer for your
highest good in this situation.
