We did have an unannounced meeting last Thursday, these attached notes are from the week before. We have decided to begin working towards building a virtual community – distance is not an issue – we support each other from “afar.”
We were so excited talking about this virtual community – where and how to start, etc., that we did not follow what would otherwise be a typical format for these meetings:
A little re-cap of information and theory each week – how we got to the current state of the Earth, what we can do to work towards a healthy planet, how we can avoid coming to this again…
Then a forum: a sharing of ideas, working towards an understanding of healthy ecology, working towards working together more cohesively, asking questions.
Then sharing information by Art on building a homestead: in addition to a sample configuration of a homestead – where to put what – details on which trees/plants are good to use here on the islands.
We would love to have you join us – starting with our pot luck meal. We aim to sit down around 6 p.m. A tour of our own sustainable effort here on our farm is available just before eating.
In addition to the fruit orchards we are putting in, we would love to show off the simple but solid retaining wall our awesome Kolealea Family team just built out of pallets (acquired free) and plywood on a foundation of a single layer of cinder blocks, and a deck made out of the same, working towards completing our Community Lounge.
If you can RSVP your planned attendance, please do!
Meeting at:
