If this were a reality, I would love to live there. I would gladly assist in the marketing end of the community's needs. Doing outreach, plugging it at events, assisting with tours, etc.
I would like to run a bed and breakfast tho, for visitors. Family members, friends, dates, etc. The B&B would also host community events, like huge potlucks and after dinner theater and special guest lecturers. My B&B would have a berry patch, herb garden and chicken flock. I need a cook tho. I cant handle cooking for the public...

We do need someone to do massage, reiki, healing, etc!
And that means we need a meditation hall/ massage parlor (not THAT kind!)

Time shares for those who don't want to do the full-time thing but wouldn't mind a little immersion every now and again.

I'd like to see various housing options, depending on budget, needs and desires. We would probably like a one floor home with a nice porch for our rockers in the front, and a screened porch in the back. We might like to see an "over 50" area so it would be quieter where we lived.
I'd rather see each individual or family be responsible for their financial needs, with some communal obligations. Maybe a fee to maintain the property and needs such as security, taking care of the pool, and stocking the pond. There could be some cooperatives set up for things like child care or a small convenience store. There would be individuals and families of all ages. All visitors would be allowed, as long as they were allies of the community. There would be rules of conduct and an elected board of some sort, with a time limited term. Throughout the year, there would be opportunities for socializing and culture. We could have a club house or small venue to host some good music, plays, exhibitions. It could be open to the public for special events, providing a chance for good will in the community. Activities would be organized by interested members, including local trips and vacations, hobby clubs (hiking, crafts), biking, cooking class, painting, etc.... We would figure out a way to provide for members who could no longer care for themselves, and step in when family and loved ones couldn't or wouldn't. I am a social worker, and I can help with dealing with families, seeking and securing needed services, and stuff like that! I have so many more thoughts...if this ever moved toward becoming a reality, I'd love to be involved in the brainstorming process.

Oh hey - I've been vaccinated for rabies - so I could be the resident wild-animal catch-and-re-releaser.
Except poisonous snakes and monkeys - those are hard limits for me. I'll even come capture your spiders and bugs and re-release

To answer your questions: Yes, I would live in the compound. I can supervise! Maybe not every night. Maybe every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Yes to paying your own way, or at least part. Wolfy's idea of full time on the farm equalling someone paying is okay with me. I think that there'd be the usual squabbles that occur within familial units and the cycle of make ups and break ups, but there's nothing that would happen that we haven't seen and/or gone through before, I don't think. I think that I would get tired of some of you, but then, that's not unusual for me. I get tired of everyone once in a while. I have occasional flare ups of hermititis. Pros: a community where we can discuss topics that affect our community without more 'wtf' looks than 'aha' looks...regular femme clothing swaps...cooking and crafting in person with my sisters and brothers....being acknowledged for the pretty pretty princess that I am. Cons: as someone mentioned, I think there should be an application process of some sort so that any folks that intend to cause trauma/drama and/or shit stir don't settle in too nicely. Other than that, I'm drawing a blank right now. I want community meetings, very clear guidelines and by laws of what is and is not acceptable, accountability for one's actions, a ginormous swimming pool and jacuzzi, a gym that has the typical gym equipment plus a court for basketball or whatever, holiday events, rotating chores, giant deep freezers, a small old timey candy shop and general store, giant community garden that those who have green thumbs can administer to, a farm stocked with rescued animals, a place for all religions/beliefs to worship at, a school (maybe Sunshine could teach the kids that are home schooled? Blush too, when she visits.), counselors, folks to come in and teach workshops, and so much more! Quote:

Would you want to live on a BFP compound?
I think that'd be kick-ass - or full of some serious mad drama - or both... probably both. LOL What skills can you contribute? Well, Sparx bakes awesome artisan bread, and is there a body-positive Yoga Teacher in the house yet? I could rock that. Sounds like there's some psychic services in the works - I can read some tarot too. I think I have other skillz, but I have to think about them. lol. Would you want to do community meals every night in the "Mess Hall"? Could be fun - but shouldn't be mandatory. Sometimes I need time just with my little family. Would people still need to pay something into the system like rent, even if it was only nominal? I think communities like this CAN be self-sustaining reducing or almost eliminating the need for money but that really depends how it's set up and if all the communities needs can be met by its members. Do you think you'd get tired of living with family all year long? I think that it depends on the relationships and the energy of the place. Self-sustaining barter, trade and work-based communities have totally different energy than a regular mainstream style living situation. I'd like to think there's a different level of personal responsibility when the entire community relies on each other to be successful - and a different investment in working things out when there are problems. Can there be a kink-hall, pls? Thanks! hee hee. |
