Given the state of it all, I am still planning on
traveling much of Europe and Asia this summer, starting from Germany and Czech
Republic. This will be an open-ended trip depending on what I find, and
cash I have. It can be many months.
I wish to stay with people and help them on their
projects, land, etc., like WWOOF. I would like to spend time
in Asia as well-- Thailand, Vietnam, where the WWOOF is not available
(to my knowledge).
If anyone has any friends, people on projects I can
plug in on, ideas, please write back. I arrive in Europe in
the beginning of August.
Thank you.

Subject: [permaculture] Creating A Life
Together
Creating a Life Together: Practical Tools to Grow an
Intentional Community (http://www.permacultureactivist.net/LifeTogether/CreatingaLifeTogether.html),
by Diana Leafe Christian, editor of Communities Magazine, foreword by
Patch Adams. 2003 New Society Publishers, 272 pp. $23 (available from
Permaculture Activist, May 2003). "Creating a Life Together is an
overview of the process of forming new ecovillages and intentional
communities, gleaned from founders of dozens of successful communities in
North America formed since the early '90s. This is what they did, and what you
can do, to create your community dream. It attempts to distill their hard
experience into solid advice on getting started as a group, creating vision
documents, decision-making and governance, agreements and policies, buying and
financing land, communication and process, and selecting people to join you.
It's what works, what doesn't work, and how not to reinvent the wheel. This
information is not only for people forming new communities - whether or not
you already own your land. It can also be valuable for those of you thinking
about joining community one day - since you, too, will need to know what
works. And it's also for those of you already living in community, since you
can only benefit from knowing what others have done in similar circumstances.
"
"A great deal of research and trial-and-error has been assembled here,
and every potential ecovillager should read it. This book will be an essential
guide and manual for the many Permaculture graduates who live in communities
or design for them." --Bill Mollison
"Creating a new culture of living peacefully with each other and the
planet is our number one need--and this is the right book at the right time.
Creating a Life Together will be instrumental in the ecovillage courses
I teach. I can't wait to tell people about it." --Hildur Jackson, cofounder,
Global Ecovillage Network (GEN); co-editor, Ecovillage Living: Restoring
the Earth and Her People.
"A really valuable resource for anyone thinking about intentional
community. I wish I had it years ago." -- Starhawk, author of Webs of
Power, The Spiral Dance, and The Fifth Sacred Thing -- and
committed communitarian.
