You can fight it and wish that it just wasn’t so, and for some the illusion may go on a while longer, but if you are like most of us, by now you know that you may have to do some belt tightening and you may have to do it soon. Or you could do what human beings have always done when times are tough.

That’s right; circle the wagons! You find security and conserve energy by gathering around common campfires and in the process you discover that this isn’t a bad way to live even when times are good. You can make music together, break bread together, and even bake bread together if you want to. You can rediscover what human culture has been about for time immemorial.

At least that is the way we are looking at it at Culver Way Ecovillage, and there are finally enough of us who see it that way so we can begin turning possibility into reality.

That’s right; construction has begun and will continue until we are all tucked snugly yet comfortably into our version of a cloud with a silver lining.

Interest is really picking up, but at this point you can still reserve your spot on Cloud 9. We’re planning to grow lots of our own food, produce most of our power from renewable sources on site and generate all kinds of work from home and community based economic opportunities, as well. Community isn’t completely recession proof but it beats the heck out of enduring the ever-tightening belt malady that is an inevitable consequence of going it alone.

Join us for an orientation and tour on Saturday, 5/10, at 11:00, followed by a potluck lunch. You are welcome to come early that day and/or stay late and pitch in on the garden workday with the Green Beings.
