Hello dear fruit heads of the world!

Gathering for the creation of the fruitarian community  in Costa-Rica!!

Its with pleasure that we invite all the fruit heads of the world to come and either witness or be part of this wonderful event that will occur this winter, from January 21st to April 19th! Or come for however long you want! If your looking for a nice place to spend the winter, surrounded with tropical fruits and fruitarians from all over the world keep reading! Or you can take a look at the progress we've made so far, like gathering all the information you need to know about Costa-Rica, or the people already on board, or the possible land we are interested in... And more, all on our website fruitariancommunity.tk

Also we must talk about after the gathering... Some of us, plan to go to Canada,  and go wild mushroom picking!! Pom has been doing this for 11 years, seasonally of course, and guaranty that any rooky can make 200-400$ a day... Very limited space!! Good way to finance the land all together!! The season last 1-3 months, hopefully we should be back to Costa-Rica with enough money for the down payment.

Now here's the index of everything you need to know about the gathering...

Housing and internet
Cost per month and available food
Activities
What to bring
Topics of circles

HOUSING

If you stay less then 2 weeks, 4$ per day,
2 weeks to 1 month is 3$, and if you plan to commit to the community project and come mushroom picking afterwards, you will pay the rent's monthly cost divided by the others whom committed to, so far its been about 1-2$ a day for us...

 Bring you tent! We will share a kitchen, which will be a good opportunity to learn about sharing a kitchen among fruitarians... Or good opportunity to show how we behave in communal spaces, after all, one of the main objective of this gathering will be to see each other in many situation! We hope to move to a land that interest us, to learn about it as much as possible about it before the big investment.

INTERNET
Free unlimited high speed internet wherever Minda's phone is... So around us most of the time, ;)


COST PER MONTH

For housing, food, communication, and transport, i say from 250$ to 650$ a month minimum, let us explain... The housing cost you as little as 80-120$ a month, divided by the amount people who are here. Food is quite expensive, so if you want to eat awesome food like sapote or organic mangoes, it might cost you up to 15$ a day, so 450$ a month. BUT!! If you decide to give a little effort, you'll easily find food around that nobody cares about, like coconut, sugar cane, some jackfruit, many varieties of bananas, plantains, coconut palm heart, oranges, and many greens like local spinach, colllards, katouk or cranberry hibiscus, my favorite, etc... If you go this way it could cost you only 5$ a day or 150$ a month, that's what Michaela, Minda and Pom does. Pom has a truck for everyone's groceries, at least for as many people as possible, and for looking at lands, going to the beach etc... So we ask for gaz money, not much, but with other transports like bus's, around 40$ a month. .

ACTIVITIES

Meatings and meatings!! looking for land, visiting permaculture farms, doing training at the house in non-violent communication, permaculture, or this book we really like called Creating life together, real bible to create a community... also we do many circles on personal values towards all sorts of subjects, and lots of fruit shopping/foraging.

WHAT TO BRING

You will be sleeping in the house, but in case it gets cramped, we advise that you bring the following... A tent that is well aired, or a large mosquito net with a tarp over it,  or a hammock with a mosquito net incorporated in it, with a tarp over it. Don't worry though there's barely any mosquitoes year round!

Hicking shoes and a pair of sandals. A sleeping bag is not essential, a blanket can be plenty, but some summer sleeping bag can be very compact compared to a blanket... Outer then that you know the essential, tooth brush, cloths, ceramic knife, wooden spoon, etc...

TOPICS OF CIRCLES

 We are talking mostly of the vision, just sharing what we think about all community realted topics, like diet, politics, having pets, legal entity, drugs etc... We need to find out what is the core goal of every one, the long term one. Then we need to choose a legal entity, a cooperative probably, that is to buy land under many people's name, to protect each other financially and legally. Its important to understand the necessity of this, we really hope you did or will read Diana Leafe Christian's book Creating life together... In there you will see WHAT we talk about in details, and HOW we talk, like with a facilitator. If you want it free PM Minda or Pom. Also we talk about the different pods of the project, such as a animal shelter, a PRI (permaculture research institute), and especially the school we will create. Lots to talk about!

So we hope we gained your attention. You can simply come as a witness to!  enjoying the fruits, the beach and the fruitarian company! No stress!

For more information please don't be shy, contact Pom Vincent or 'Mindaugas Austinskas'. Or find the event on Facebook!
