Nicaragua?

Great things are happening, we have a new team!! not the one in
Panama, Ted and George have a vision to far from ours, but we still
hope to work with them in the future, hopefully as close neighbors. Francois and I realized it during the Vipassana meditation retreat that we just finished (really
amazing experience!!), and surprisingly when we finished it, Rebecca
mailed us saying that she felt the same, and decided to get her self
going and left to....NICARAGUA!!! Great surprise!! During our absence
she also understood that she did not have similar vision as Francois
and I, about simply that she wants to have complete freedom over
everything, Francois and I want to have some rules, or guidelines,
like having a 100% raw community. 

We have met another group of raw vegans, Micheal and Yasmine, we share
very many similar values, and they are ready to get land now!! which
is great!! but they don't want to be 100% raw as a rule, like
Rebecca. Now we have been doing many circles, brainstorming, Francois,
Micheal, Yasmine and I, and we figured that we should join hands and
find land together, and have 2 different projects on the land. Just like with Rebecca and maybe even Ted and George.

So we are now going to Nicaragua, heard its almost like Bolivia, like
really poor, kind of like Kenya, i like that a lot, so far there are
few more aspects about Nicaragua, we will be discussing that another
time when we know more.

We are starting to scout for land tomorrow!! exiting!!! The more we
are, the more we can buy land at first, and the more hectares we buy,
the cheaper it is per hectare. Also we simply want a big family to
co-create with!!

We are actively looking for new members to buy land with, so if you are...
-Independent (financially also)
-Mentally strong
-Self-confident
-With great level of emotional maturity
-Someone who get along with each other in a community environment
-Not shy to tell about what they like and what they need
-of course, one with our vision...

we will be happy to meet you!!

peace and fruits to you all!!

New friends

Today we are leaving the group me and François, Rebecca will stay behind at a youth hostel, the others are going back to Panama city for a week, to meet with Rebecca back here afterwards in El valle. For François and i we will not come back in a week, for we will first go back to the first farm we went too, Rawtreat, to work until Vipassana!!! yes, finally it almost now, but unfortunately Rebecca wont be with us for this great experience, she did one very recently, and doest feel like doing another so quickly after. So François and I will be separated from the group for a total of 18 days... big break, Rebecca and the others will continue the circles without us though. 

So about the meetings.... 
We are almost done defining the Vision, which is really the first big step in creating a community. Then we need to define the Mission, then the short, medium and long term goals, i hope to be back for most of them! So theres progress, slowly.... Also we found good friendship withGeorge Schwartz Hilbert and Ted Carr, together we really hope to create something together, we will be writing more about ti all when we have more writing down. Bless you all!!

vision transition

We have decided to change our vision, instead of focusing on the outside, like buying land or getting information on how to do this or that, we realized that WE are the priority, as in the relation we have with each other. We seemed to be focusing a lot on things that were not present, but the present was mostly about our relation, day to day. We were having circles almost everyday about our relation, and we took it as a problem to creating this project, now we think that the project is each other, thats really important.

permaculture

Weve just spent almost 2 weeks in Costa-Rica, at Rawtreat, a very interesting raw-vegan who has been on a very similar path of ours, the creation a of natural fruitarian community. He has been doing so for 12 years, he created 2 fruit forest, without using very much permaculture though, but still he did wounders, like getting some really good seeds like Safu, absolute wounder!! a fruit of his own category, compareble to Durian, but in a totaly diferent way! Ho and he can host many people during the Durian season, heres his blog, http://rawtreat.wordpress.com/rawtreat-english/

Now we are, in panama, its really great so far, the group is doing very well, we have circles almost everyday, and talk about everything, and we make efforts to steighten our team sprit. 

Work is good, we learn a lot, the guy running the place has so much information, he has the best library ive ever seen, like really hard to find books, best authors too. He studied them all really good. But the problem is that he is not on the field very much and he eats the S.A.D. diet!!! and its his right arm that does everything, the guy pretty much has all the real knowledge, but he only speaks Spanish!! but fortunately, one guy here is also full of knowledge, and has been here for 2 weeks but might be here for 3 more months, he studied for 2 years permaculture, he knows so much!! he is formening us right now. The farm is really cool too, John, the owner, started 6 years ago, he didn't know anything, so he lost about 2 years, but still, the place is very much permaculture like, just walking around is a big course of its own. 

We have also learned from many that permaculture is something that you learn on site, so we are more and more interesting into getting land faster then we first though. Mistakes are the best way to learn, and we already have done some homework, and are learning everyday!! 

Not much fruits, Pom eats oranges (tons), and bananas are coming soon, like in a week, then there will be more then a fruitarian tribe could eat... lol. Rebecca and Francois are eating from the market, which is really far from here. Ho and theres cranberry hibiscus!!! the best leafs Pom's ever eatin. outer then that food isnt really great, but enough for some anyway, or it will be soon for shore... the place is also cooler, more easy to work in. love to you all, go vegan, go low fat raw-vegan, go fruitarian!!

we are now in Costa-Rica!! Rebecca, Francois and me, Pom. We are eating the best papayas we ever had, San José stinks a lot though... we are leaving for Panama tomorrow, probably hitchhiking, everything here is very expensive, sometimes more then Montreal!!

new departure!!!

So we have been having lots of fun for the last few months, preparing the project, getting our visions as one, our personalities too. They have got rid of almost all their stuff in the homes. Just to show that they are both committed, which is really what we all need. Theres no plan B, we must succeed! 

So as you saw, i changed the title for Bolivian community instead of Kenyan... Yup, i got convinced!! lol, it was farely easy, south America or Africa at the beginning, a year and a half ago with Nic and Tanya, got chosen almost by flicking a coin... After all, there are both very un-developed, far from everything, preserved... We will be changing the website http://www.fruitariancommunity.tk/ soon, explaining everything in details of why Bolivia, and what are are our visions. We have decided to go public!!! we are even considering making invitations... 

So now theres 3 of us, but we have Baba, our friend from Kenya that said he will be joining us soon, and once we have the land, and a solid core, the community will be more and more open to new comers. but now lets focus on being present, we are flying on the 28th of november, to Costa-Rica, and do the rest of the trip by land, boat and land again, to Bolivia.
