RE: What stops me?

in #palnet7 years ago

The only thing I need is my own place.
One room or two rooms are fine and the animals I have with me. I need room for me so perhaps this is a reason that might stop me from living in an ecovillage?

The fear I have always being with other people, they continue talking, communicating, no rest, no time, no way to follow my instinct and to live by someone else's rules. The pressure and stress it would give me to have my day, life scheduled by others.

Personal space is very important. I can see a mix of possibilities in a good sized village. Maybe some larger shared living structures in addition to many homes for a single individual or a family. One of the most important aspects for me is that involvement be voluntary on all levels. I certainly don't plan to live by someone else's rules or have my life scheduled by others.

I spent a few months at an ecoVillage and one of the things that they did really well was to have various co-ops:

  • Car sharing
  • Cooking
  • Goat milking
  • Gardening

Beyond a very basic constitution (the rules) that everyone agrees to, almost everything else can be done via co-ops where people can participate or choose not to.

Sort:  

Those co-sharings sounds great. But an ecoVillage should not mean we all share the same bedroom, kitchen and toilet. I thought about that, but it has nothing to do with an eco lifestyle in the first place. If that is clear to people it might be easier to join and volunteer with whatever.

People are different so are routines and needs. Some can not be one second a day alone, I need space to breathe... Families will live different from singles too.

Happy Wednesday! 👍🔆💕
