Our Goals:
Immediate goals:
1) To recruit a core group of roughly 10 women who are very interested and serious about living in our future matriarchal ecovillage and who want to help. And as many serious males as we can find, preferably with skills that could be useful to us and who believe in loving Female-led relationships.
- To advertise. Place ads, write articles, post our website link on other websites, network with others on the internet, etc.
- To find likeminded people who get along and who are peaceful and who believe in the lifestyle of loving Female-led relationships or matriarchy.
2) To secure a total of $500,000 in private funding for land or else be given land. Also look for grants. Visit the "take action" page to donate to our ecovillage.
3) To decide and implement a legal structure.
4) To decide and implement written agreements concerning legal status, bylaws, healthy communication, ways of keeping community members accountable and ways for admitting new members.
- We need to learn what did or did not work for other existing ecovillages. This could be from books, talking to people and/or visiting intentional communities.
- To look at others' bylaws and edit them to make our own.
5) To buy 50 to 200 acres in a warm climate (southeastern US), preferably with at least one home on it, privacy and within an hour driving distance to a good sized city for jobs while we get started.
- Research different locations around the country
- To find land or a land trust to base the community on
Medium range goals:
1) To build more residences and common buildings after we move to the land.
2) To purchase some farming and gardening equipment, alternative energy equipment and also to plant crops and fruit trees for food. Also plant flowers.
3) To harvest these crops as appropriate, and prepare organic food on a daily basis.
4) To create community businesses to help sustain ourselves and the ecovillage.
Long range goals:
1) To recruit new people every year that are right for our community.
2) To create a community of 50-100 people.
3) To engage in creative activities, have fun, be healthy, engage in activities to foster a close knit community feel, to do outreach, feel connected to each other and the world, and sustain ourselves.
4) To create more matriarchal communities or inspire others.
