Yes, that's right, especially as this project based on concept of co-creation of Space of Love on Earth.
Here is summary of the movies:

Talking Re: Living in harmony with Nature

They are wonderful vids and very inspirational. showing things can "be another way" its all by choice we do not have to follow the conditioning of how we are now.

so many people live in dence areas and dont know a single neighbor, we have been conditioned into this, and isolation breeds madness its used as a form of torture.

man is a social creature we were first in tight knit tribes, no isolation from those around us.

the thing is for us to take that first step and reach out to those around us and foster a sence of community once again



post more about this i really like it and hows the weather over there? you guys got snow yet?

Some links to Kin's village Kovcheg (The Ark) - one of the most successfull ecovillages of Kin's domains in Russia.
http://www.eco-kovcheg.ru/description.html
http://www.eco-kovcheg.ru/somefacts.html
The whole idea may be said in three sentences:
"Our settlement is based on family owned land where each family owns one hectare of land to be kept in the family for generations. One hectare with woods, fruit trees, garden and a small pond can provide the family with all of life’s necessities. By using long ignored methods of cultivating the earth and harvesting in the context of preserving the earth for future generations, this hectare of land will produce enough for the family’s use with surplus..."

I surprised a whitetail deer fawn a few hours ago on my lunchtime walk. It jumped into a wire fence a couple of times before I realized what was happening and told it to stop and calm down (hunters will tell you that whitetail deer will freeze if you talk to them). We looked at each other for a while then it nibbled some grass and wandered off into the woods.

Sunday my wife and I found our first Chicken Mushroom. An enormous thing. I've never found or eaten one before. It smells like mushroom, but tastes oddly like chicken. I'm gradually learning about the best edible mushrooms in our area. It has been a banner year for chanterelles.

Videos and such are nice, but don't forget to get out there and experience nature.

This thread would be very appropriate on the radiant zones thread.
