What we do

We’re in the middle of the possibly most cataclysmic event in the history of the planet, which is tied to the way we live in our industrial and profit-oriented civilization, which (amongst other factors) makes us drawn towards an autonomous and completely decentralized subsistence living by locally handcrafted self-sufficiency free of state-corporate control and influence.
We believe in communal or tribal reciprocity as a possibility, but also in individual sovereignty and we have a dream that we as humans can create a culture where we use a sense of responsibility in the way we use natural resources, each other, forces and spirits of nature and listen to and work with forces of nature (preferably in a direct spiritual way also) to live balanced and sustainably.
We want to create a community of people who prepare for extreme disaster in the future, in order to survive as a species but also to mitigate our part of the crises we have created.
At the moment we are practicing relevant practical skills especially in areas of hand made and small scale food production, processing and storage and various traditional crafts and hand made construction techniques and systems.
We have all been scouting for land and have come to the conclusion that Sweden is a good candidate for this project because of several factors (where we have stumbled upon a few very good offers), but principally it could be other countries.
We also save up money in our own ways separately, since all of us live geographically separated from each other, actually in 3 different countries at the moment (Norway, Sweden, and Denmark).
One of us has made a bold move and bought a house on auction in order to renovate, improve, and sell for profit in order to gain more financial power for the project.
Money gained and saved will be used to purchase land, tools, seeds, plants, and other things agreed upon by the community that will enable us to live a moneyless life.

How to join

Start by sending an email and we take it from there.
Then casually we would like to just get to know each other a bit first, but also in a slightly formal way in terms of your thoughts about community, our western society, vision, values, and other things and then maybe eventually we would all like to meet up in person.
It is a possibility that new members could move to my big house (one of the members in Denmark) already learn things together and practice social things and decision making and group solutions, while we scout and find land, save up money and finally sell this house and use all the finances to make the jump into the final physical location for the project.

If you live or want to live according to the values of cooperation, sustainability, and equality this conference is for you. You’ll get something out of this event whether you’re brand new to communities and cooperatives, or have been living and working in them for decades.

From September 4th – 7th, 2015, network and learn about communities of all kinds — co-housing, co-ops, communes and ecovillages — at one of the best-known intentional communities in North America. At the conference, you can attend workshops topics such as group-decision making, diversity in community, intentional relationships and sustainable living. Camp in a beautiful forest alongside fellow participants and be a part of a temporary, once-in-a-lifetime intentional community.
