Findhorn Foundation, in my view, was hit with 9 og the 10 canon balls you list. We were hit with differential pay for the ‘important jobs’, we spent a lot of money on paying for some members private housing, burn outs, lack of community building, decisions by trustees and board were handed down which was a brilliant way to defer conflicts, externals were hired in without going through ‘the school’ and given powers to decide. And when the armada of Covid arrived, 100 members were jettisoned. But the ship could no longer be kept afloat. I wish we had all seen your video 10 years ago.

Community! Yes! 💖

Hmm thanks Rebecka. Love your content!

Thank you 💖

Thank You <3

The major problem is that spiritual people are brain dead, and can't possibly function successfully in any real-world situation, since they believe in a totally fake spiritual world, and they deny that they are living in world of material reality only. When low IQ and mental illness meet in one person, or in a group, nothing will ever work right.

Nice video 🎉🎉🎉

Yes. I will go!!! I would like to speak to you, Celastrina. Thank you.

Thankyou, very good points of view! To love yourself and also love (and/or respect) others. To feel like you want to give to the community, to appreciate what you recieve and life itself... Not give because of guilt or demand, to give from your heart and the abundance you find and live in... That is a true challenge to deepen into love and trust the flow and energys, that there is always enough for and to everyone. There is always something I/we can give and also be open to recieve, to fill up the energy to be able to give even more, heartfully ❤...

Celastrina, I don't know if you will see my comments: thank you for existing. I really would like to live in the Dammahu.

Wow, Celastrina, your insights and overall presentation, is brilliant. Thank you for sharing! You could save people a lot of unnecessary suffering if they would simply heed your counsel. You could also do reviews on successful eco villages/communities as well to provide examples of how they've succeeded. 😊💙

Beautiful ❤ thank you ✨️🙏✨️

Another beautiful video. I love the part of you painting and hanging out on the boat in Italy. Can’t wait to hear about the new baby :)

So if they don’t take the capitalist route or religious route, it just doesn’t work? Got it. A shame.

Intentional living? It’s just capitalism existing. They offer a luxury product (communal living) and offer people to pay luxury prices to come experience it 😭😂 it’s the opposite of what it’s meant to actually represent. A shame, stop scamming.

You live a really beautiful life !💯❤️🇬🇧

Wow,heaven,place,on,earth,beautiful,

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!! I do believe that intentional communities have much to offer. One of the problems of intentional communities, of many varieties, is the tendency to be too inwardly focused. I realize some of this may be unavoidable on an individual community level, but it makes it difficult for the rest of us in the world to learn what is happening without making a concerted effort to explore community. I would venture to say that most people in the world know little to nothing about intentional communities or what they might offer humanity. To be a viable option for living differently and cooperatively, it seems intentional communities themselves, their advocacy organizations, and even other allies and supporters to be out there promoting what communities can offer. To be a viable alternative, I also suspect some marketing savvy is required to target different kinds of communities to the needs of different people. Not everyone is able to become a local farmer in remote rural areas, but they might be open to an urban communal arrangement which is environmentally more sound than the current urban/suburban lifestyles. I would like to learn how intentional communities might navigate the emerging AI and AGI world as I believe it might even enhance adoption of many of the intentional community values, not to mention the formation of communities themselves, which were difficult to achieve in times past.

What a beautiful summer 🌞⛱️🌲 Congratulations with the new baby❤

Do you offer help for young communities / people who want to start a community?

Truth 🙏🏼✨️

Findland Ireland process you wrong

That is super interesting! I am currently building a community and I would love to connect. Have you ever helped communities individually? This is my first community and I think there is so much knowledge already out there from people like you. Would be amazing

Collectivism always devolves into cults

Nah, I like fewer people around

Thank you Rebecka for sharing on eco communities around the world. I am drawn to these spaces and the nearest is Sekem Egypt as I reside in Nairobi, Kenya.

Powerful and enlightening ❤

Thank you for all this insight as I explore it further❤.

I had chills throughout the video... I felt very nostalgic for Dh and the warmth and sweetness of Formica Coriandolo, one of the most wonderful souls I've ever encountered... grazie Celastrina ❤

Community! Been thinking about this since 2012😅

They need to leverage technology and design and most importantly they need control of zoning more than anything so they can actually do what is possible.

I have been watching your KZbin videos for past week. And they're really great! You're doing a fantastic job as a content creator.

Community ❤

Great video! And even saw some familiar faces! ❤✨

Very beautiful message. I really resonated with your vision. Thank you

Thank you for sharing!!!

Thank you for your insightful informations 🙏🏼❤️ I'm seeking advice on achieving financial stability through online opportunities that allow for location independence. So, that I can contribute positively and bring also kind of financial stability within any community when I come to join without being a burden. Could you share examples of meaningful online ventures or existing companies where one can build something valuable and sustainable? Some options that have proven successful for others over the years? Thank you 😊

You have to be a free, self-confident, high-performing person to be a member of an Intentional Community. These are roughly the character traits of an entrepreneurial person. However, the vast majority of people are employee types. This is how we experience the world going to the dogs. People can't love and organize themselves.

Spot on! So wise. You have obviously learnt all the lessons of community living. Bravo!❤

Very interesting! Do you have specific ideas on how the community can support individuality? Or is it more about _not_ doing things that impinge on individuality?

Great video! In my community (about 50 people), we have significant problems with the fact that about 15 of us are doing the vast majority of the work. We 15 are always exhausted and spend almost all our time just keeping the place running. The others just show up and somewhat take it for granted that things will get done. We've tried many different methods to get people more involved: coercion, cake, empathy, scolding. But nothing works. I would love it if you could make a video about it, if you have any relevant knowledge.

Good luck k with your new baby and blessings to your family ❤

I love all of this information but especially the last point. Community and a civilization should support the dreams of the individual. I believe a person’s deepest dreams come true then turn around and serve the community. A continual spiral upward of support back and forth. Thank you ❤
