Hello everyone. I am a newby and just want t introduce myself.
I have seen the Collapse and Reset, that we are going through now for the past 20 years coming our way.
It will cause a mad rush into Intentional Communities for a lot of folks that will choose to get out of the Rat Race. I have been involved with projects to mitigate the suffering people will go through due to the Collapse.
What I can say for sure is that there will be a lot of grants to fund Intentional Communitys, just waiting for the asking. These grants will cover the costs for creating these communities.
This will open the world up for folks to create their own local communities.
I have written about this happening and have been holding back on pushing the concepts
until the banks start collapsing; we are at that point now.
I will FREELy share my work product on how to create community for up to 500 persons, all on grant funding. I do not stand to make money from this.
The work product will show how to take an existing Grant Request and alter it to fit your own community.
Again freely help yourself. Freely available at CoopVillages.org
The first question people ask is “How can I find 500 members?”
This is from the Village Life section on the above website.

The ad is a tongue-in-cheek demonstration to the individual who recently posed the reasonable question of “How are we ever going to find 500 people locally who wish to live in the village?” It is not hard to imagine that we would find ourselves flooded with applicants, far more than we could possibly accept. Please remember that one of the twelve Focus groups, How Do We Expand Our Community, would be charged with the task of membership screening.The following suggested ad might be run in the Sunday newspaper once a month in order to spark younger membership when we are ready to build.

The Dreaded “Ds”.
The village economy would provide a lifetime shield from the financial impact of the dreaded “D’s”, that being: downsized, divorced, death of a partner, disease, disability, dementia and delinquent mortgage and utility bills.
The first question you should ask is “How can we be certain that large grants will suddenly appear to fund large Intentional Communities?”
Below is a two part article I wrote two days ago, with Part I focusing of why the system must, and will soon collapse. Part II below is how a reasonable person can see the large grants (both government and Humanitarian) coming soon.
My sincerest apology.
