Paradise:
In paradise we should be able to bite off of something, too. Even we have so much of an economic mind. Generally: the village is also suitable as a second home (for example for artists or freelancers). We assume that roughly half of the founding party will be there permanently. The rest will commute.

*Our community
Our community is a settlement that is respectful of humanity and that hopes to achieve a lasting way of living. Our village is a new foundation.
There already are a number of ecovillages in industrial or post-industrial societies as well as developing countries around the world. They’re examples of a pattern of development that seeks to combine a high quality of life with the conservation of natural resources.
We promote an integral approach that fits into and doesn’t disturb the ecology of the human settlement, grassroots democracy, green technologies, ecological enterprises and, lest we forget, the new forms of media connecting people all over the world.
We’re a community in which people feel and show mutual support and responsibility towards one another. The community gives us the feeling of belonging to the group – our community is small and everyone in the community can feel encouraged, be seen and be heard. Furthermore, the community is open to a lively exchange with its neighbours. The community is formed according to the cultural and geographical characteristics of our environment and encompasses the following dimensions: the social, the ecological, and the intercultural connection with a systemic, integral approach that promotes personal development.
