What we do

This project is currently in the planning stages.
Portland, Jamaica is verdant, the safest parish, and highly agrarian.
I have already scoped out the land I am interested in, my family has land there. It is very rural and the plots of land are mostly off-grid and designated for homesteading. The smallest plots are already sold and the bigger ones hold the promise for community life with ocean view.
There is a shallow river for bathing that is public and a public beach as well as a private beach for plot owners.
The road is marl and not paved. The plots remaining for sale are elevated and of varying topographies.
I am an entrepreneur but I currently do not hold any wealth. I do however have a manifesto for going Carbon Neutral Now. This community we establish would be without oil, gas, or plastic. We would operate carbon neutrally and document the process for others to learn from.
Jamaica is still stuck in the past as it relates to certain basic human rights but I am not. I believe in freedom of expression and respecting consenting adults.
The country’s climate is subject to hurricane, flooding, drought and earthquakes. That said these tend not to be disastrous.
At this point, the whole world needs to be Carbon Neutral Now.
With this in mind, this community is intended to pioneer and help steer a Carbon Neutral and Social Justice Revolution backed by Blockchain technology and a determination to acknowledge full human rights for all NOW and the end to war until we have achieved Carbon Neutrality.
It is important for me to live somewhere where all are welcome and we have space enough that people can pass through and feel at home and then continue on their journey for finding their forever home after resting their bones with us.
I like meeting new people and helping strangers just as long as they are not hateful or harassing.
I have several projects but the most important currently is the plan of action for us as a human family to become Carbon Neutral Now.

How to join

Please write an introductory email to techisgarbage@gmail.com detailing whether you:
1. Have money to purchase land (50k plots are probably still available)
2. Have experience in Carbon Neutral living or eco-communities
3. What your current work is and your skills
4. An explanation of your values and what Carbon Neutrality means to you
5. Your understanding of social justice and human rights
6. Whether you condemn hate and sabotage of ecological efforts
7. Whether you are accepting of various spiritualities and means of connecting to the cosmos and one’s inner world
8. Whether you have ever been subject to online harassment or stalking and how you have handled it
9. Whether you know of ecological activists in need of a respite who are happy to travel (offsetting their travel by supporting tree conservation projects and plastic pollution prevention efforts)
10. Whether you are accepting of various gender and sexual expressions
11. What your politics boil down to
12. Your bio – age, origin, nationality, etc
13. Your network
We will then have a video conference on Crewdle the green video conferencing platform once I can afford an account again (my old account is attached to my old email)
We will make quick group meetings with all potential candidates and have chemistry readings for what will make for a powerful core team.
Our aim is to make the world Carbon Neutral Now. This is the mission. I have a manifesto, a song and I wish to create a guidebook/manual and cookbook to go along with these to complete the set. This bundle along with perhaps some of the games I have made help us to kickstart a revolution, a necessary one, and reach out to our sphere of influence and demand change now in order to preserve life on planet earth.
This will happen. We will be the ones to do it. I have had portent dreams but not just that, I have felt the end result and it is not only feasible but it is as good as we would hope. The world can be glorious. You want it? Come get it

Gaia Ashram Internship

The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes using mud plasters and art works on

Deep Ecology and Mindful Gardening

Deepen our connection with nature through our head, heart, hands and spirit. Join us for this two weeks contemplative learning where we will learn together What is Deep Ecology as a philosophy, as a way to see and interpret life, as an approach to deepen our connection with nature and as a way of living. This two weeks program is designed to have balance of the learning through different channel of our being: Head: Theoretical learning, critical thinking, debate, discussion, deep reflection & deep questioning. The learning through the head help us to understand deeply of what is happening around us and in the world. Understanding and deeply questioning the reality presented to us is a way to liberate ourselves from it. Heart: listening to what we are feeling when we engage ourselves in nature and her stories. Allowing the heart to feel the love, joy, compassion or the feeling of sadness & fear allowing ourselves to feel the pain ourselves, the world & Mother Earth. We will use the activities of The Work That Reconnect of Joanna Macy and other practices to help our heart to learn deeply. We need the learning through our heart to bring about transformation at a deep level. Hand: Mindfully working with nature in the garden. When we are mindful we love, respect and connect as we are physically engaged. Practical work help us to ground our believes, philosophy and vision. It empowers us and assures us that the new reality we wish for is possible. It makes what’s in our head and heart become real and tangible. Spirit : Spirituality, Meaning & purpose. Learning at this level is about being conscious of our values and purpose, seeing ourselves as part of a greater universe and realizing our connection, relationship and responsibility in that picture. a learning at this level helps us to stay connected with our core and bring meaning to life.
