Welcome to Our Diary

the founders

This blog is the diary of our journey to create an Intentional Community  in Second Life. We hope to use it as a laboratory to discover how such communities work, and when they don't. Our blog will be a journal of what we learn. We are hoping that the members of our community will demonstrate and share with us these capacities and principles:

Natural Capacities: deep capacity for love, passion for the community's shared purpose/intention, trust, emotional strength, sensitivity/openness/perceptiveness, good instincts, self-sufficiency, honesty, intelligence/critical thinking ability, curiosity, imagination, creativity, responsibility, expressiveness, flexibility, and tolerance.

Responsible and Sustainable Operating Principles: stop at one child per woman, practice radical simplicity, pledge to buy local, leave the Earth as you found it, practice bioregionalism & permaculture, cooperate & collaborate, practice consensus democracy, value everyone's time equally, pay attention to nature, be self-sufficient, incur no debts, be generous, organic and responsible, and understand and use the power of relationships.

If you're interested in Intentional Community, or have experience with one, or would like to meet us in Second Life to discuss it, please leave us a comment!
