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 te***********@***il.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

Gambia – a box expanding journey

In our western civilised world we are educated to remain nestled within our comfort zones. We sacrifice an enormous part of our aliveness on the altar of so-called security. Because of this we don’t have access to the unlimited possibilities life offers us in every moment. Drilled and domesticated from childhood on, we have yet to experience our inherent power and potential. Gambia – A box expanding journey could be a personal step for you to make a radical change. Are you ready to embark on a challenging adventure? Do you want to know, what you truly need to be alive, creative and connected to yourself and the world? Would you like to discover, who you really could be, beyond your habits and routines? You may find more possibilities than you ever imagined at the edges of your comfort zone. By joining this journey, you embark consciously and in full self-responsibility to the edge of your well- known and comfortable world. You will discover a new self in a foreign environment, supported by a group of like-minded people. Due to the mixture of training and experiences taking place within a foreign culture, you have the opportunity to go through a deep transformation process, in a consciously and safely held space. We use the powerful and practical tools of Possibility Management with the intention to provide in every moment what is needed for every single participant as well as for the group as a whole to make the next evolutionary step. The purpose … On this journey we provide a consciously held space where many different possibilities arise. It is an invitation .. – for personal inner growth and transformation for every single participant no matter from which cultural context they come from – to meet the locals and to discover their culture – for an intensive exchange between cultures – to learn or to intensify the application o

Off grid Permaculture Internship Feb-May2025

Mount of Oaks/Monte dos Carvalhos has 10 week programs, in Autumn and Spring for 2 to 4 people, who would like to experience community living and deepen their knowledge and experience on off-grid sustainable living…you will also have the challenge to practice your design skills and present to us at least one design of either a new system or improvement of existing ones. The Regeneration process on this 5 hectar piece of land started in 2006, when the land was bought through a divine miracle and many people´s generosity before “crowd funding” was even a concept. The land has no private property as it became part of an Association and residents are guardians and part of the ecossystem. Back when I (Barbara) came here, I could only see plowed fields, a small stone ruin with half roof, some olive trees, some citrus trees and a few pear trees, a tiny little native forest at the top of the hill and a massive pond, and a tiny little forest at the bottom… Thank God, the seed bank needed to begin the restororation was still here, and with many human, animal, fungi and vegetable help, things started to improve… Now I can say it is an abundant, resilient and restored ecossystem :-) Our first 5 years were mainly filled with daily tasks, getting to know our neighbours and the region, observing the natural system and praying, as that was our main intention for this place…A refuge of peace, rest, healing and prayer that restores land. From 2009 to 2012 we hosted several PDC´s each year, with the great pioneer in Portugal, Lesley Martin… Today, besides the most important which is a restored healthy no tilled soil, we have already much to inspire others and much to develop still : – The only existing small ruined was restored to be our common working kitchen now filled with a lot of our delicious produce (olives and olive oil, aromatic herbs, teas, madicine in all shapes and forms and fermented food and drinks ) – different compost toilet systems; – hot shower w
