To build community

  to work toward the highest
good for the land, each other,
the creatures we share the
land with, and the children
and future generations of
the human community

  to bring together a
community of spiritual
kin in a non-dogmatic way

  to create a healing place
where children and elders, women
and men can overcome centuries of
grief, forgetting and separation

  in all projects and all conflicts to listen
to each other with open, compassionate hearts

  to encourage all to participate in decision-making
and in taking responsibility, and to use consensus for
all important decisions
	
    to value the unique ways that each of us can
         contribute to community and to give each one
               the opportunity to do what they do best
                     and love doing

	                  to practice fairness, honesty
      		          and co-operation in all our
             		   work and play together

            			          to create co-operative
             		            production projects
	       		         that will allow us to
   			       trade goods and
 			    services with neighbours
			  and other communities

 		               to practice the principles
		          of sustainability, caring,
                                creativity, and consensus-based
                              democracy in a constant
                            self-awareness-raising life

	              to share what we have and support
	         each other: with help, with food, with
	      cash, with whatever resources we have
	    whether in abundance or in short supply
