Mountain Gardens Community
Age Range/Type: Family
Located in: near south Denver, Colorado
Key Contact: Vikki
Spiritual Path: Spiritual or Wiccan
Status: Group Forming
Community Support: None Offered
Group Overview: We're creating an "intentional community". Tentatively called “Mountain Gardens Community”, will be a multi-generational community with an emphasis on self-reliant living for4-10 families. Not religious but spiritual and Wiccan. Homeschool. Organic gardening. Survival preparedness (whether economic collapse, tornadoes, or etc.) We are looking for members to join our group when we purchase the property within 45-60 minutes drive of south Denver, Colorado. We plan to live as “off the grid” as possible, raising our own meat, grains, veggies, fruit, fabric, and more.
This first family (us!) have or are working to acquire these skills: baking, wine-making, candle-making, fiber-harvesting/carding/spinning, paper-making, soap-making from plants, dehydrating to preserve harvests, using gourds to make utensils/pots/etc, yogurt-making, intensive gardening, basket-making, dart-gun and sling-shot, and Reiki. We also have LOTS of books, have started a fiber-rabbit herd, dehydrate garden produce, and work online for additional income. We have gluten-intolerance and other food problems so we don't plan to grow wheat.
Potential members will bring lots of other skills to the group, including animal husbandry, gardening, cottage crafts, sewing, weaving, pottery, glass-blowing, etc. See link below for more info.
Thoughts:
•We're not all about the chores and work! Games, dances, "sports", music, ice cream socials, celebrations, rituals, cottage crafts, and more.
•Off the grid, power by wind/solar/water, water-catchment. Hope to be self-sustaining by the end of 2011.
•Families can elect to invest in the property and building, or can rent.
•Land owned by few, some or all.
•Percentage of food grown: 90% (goal!) .
•Share community meals: evening meals, taking turns in the preparation, and all help plan menu.
•Dietary choice/restrictions: we eat what we grow. Mostly organic, and as healthy as possible. Omnivorous. Some gluten-free and lactose-free. Diabetic. Picky eaters and people with food intolerances or allergies are welcome! If you don't know about cross-contaminating food for people with allergies, we'll teach you!
•Alcohol: occasionally - mostly what we make. Tobacco use: prohibited indoors. Illegal drugs: prohibited.
•Spiritual practices: Not christian, but spiritual. Wiccan preferred.
•Prepare for civil unrest, economic disaster, severe weather, etc. without going gun-crazy but willing to defend what's ours as necessary.
•Education: homeschooled or unschooled.
•Money: All members have independent income, whether job or possibly sell extra produce or cottage crafts (soap, candles, baskets, etc.) at farmers markets or flea market.
•Labor: All members contribute a certain number of hours to garden, animals, and other "chores". We all work our individual strengths and specialties too.
•Join Fee: possibly. TBD. Regular Fees: possibly. TBD.
•Decision making: create our own government, but mostly by consensus. Leadership core group.
•Families to make this community will value their privacy, enjoy life, embrace preparing for the worst while hoping for the best, are willing to contribute to the welfare of the community, and believe that the state of the world prohibits living the lives we want to live within an urban setting. Intending to create a private grove for celebrations and rituals.
•We hope to have all families on board by March 2010, so we can figure out how much money we have, find our property and design our housing.
