We hope to provide courses and experiences of such quality that we become an internationally recognised institute. A nurturing base for activism, where there is an equal valuing of 'inner' and 'outer' social change work. Living as an integrated part of the natural ecosystem, actively promoting ecological protection, healing and restoration. Materially self-supporting . Growing much of our own food, with organic vegetable gardens and fruit orchards using a permaculture design.
Good communication processes.
Cooperation which allows the emergent properties of the whole group to arise. Valuing spiritual practice, emotional and psychological exploration. These need to be integrated within, and form the basis for, the community. Create as 'natural' a village situation as possible with all generations involved in the living and learning community. Participation in the daily operation of the community could be included in each course.
