The 20 years of research gathering that have been distilled and - TopicsExpress



          

The 20 years of research gathering that have been distilled and chrystalised to form the basis of Medicine Ways Co-operative (through what I like to call long-term consensus due to the amount of input from the four directions. Thank you again one and all relatives.) * History of the North: Trying to repiece and repeace the real story of our peoples in the North, especially gaining understanding of the last 5000 years events, using the old songs /scaldic poetry. Dismissing the replacement cover stories, constructed by waves of colonial oppressors of our lands and peoples. * Sanctuary creating of shelter, clean food and water - real security for a long term future and safe community. * Earthship Biotecture and food forest skillsharing (sharing each method, technique and design as fast as it is known to work) * Off-grid wagon building * Sustainable and diverse woodland care and responsible useage * Breaking the addiction to oil and other fossil fuels (whilst rebalancing our use of fire within our communities) * Responsible forms of community organisation, even including clan-based societies in order to together manage our local responsibilities with least hardship or discomfort to all. * Supporting wholeheartedly the Indigenous First Nations of the Earth against further encroachment or attack - and to open a path that will inevitably neutralise colonialism and the pyramidical mindset. * Human survival and continuance in general, as well as conservation and regeneration of natural habitat and bio-diversity. * Adaptation of all methods and alternatives for different bio-regions, checking in first as always with any indigenous that remain in their true homelands with well-adapted customs and traditions. * Low tech/ low material/ Low impact/ down-sized off-grid systems, components and comforts. * Ethical and sustainable products and services for trade, from within ones own landbase. * Ethical and sustainable relationships and guardianships of animals and plants within ones own landbase. * True peace and conflict resolution through sustainability, equality and co-operation combined. * Consensus-based self-government through associated yet sovereign community bands worldwide that pledge together Not to harm or cause loss, worldwide. (My grassroots Green Circle Alliance concept, the REAL United Nations). * The landbase and full community circle of life within in as the most important true education of all, if all life is to continue. Studying the relationships therein. * Creating the smallest ever one family completely ecological footprint - and lifestyle that can be projected seven generations forward - by hand, no oil or machine (except occasional electric drill). This is where the Earthship The Midgård Blackship sits at the heart of an up to 50 meter diameter circle of land, for this research. * Researching all know natural building materials and techniques (Beyond Earthship Biotecture). * Assistance of private projects and NGOs with project structuring and management suggestions. * Training for future global outreach missions of assistance and disaster management. * Designing an international off-grid longhouse / hostel for future use on our landbase here. * Building up a global non-GMO seed library. * Building up an internet-based free knowledgebase and communications network between all allied bands of the Green Circle Alliance concept. * Increasing greenhouse capacity on our land in the North here, to reduce the co-ops ecological footprint, restrain it from spreading within our own landbase - by increasing the short Northern growing season significantly. Sub-terranean greenhouses now of special interest. * Future mutually acceptable and totally sustainable ecologically-viable methods of transportation. THATs why its all taking so long (other than economical and political) with finnishing the Blackship....and thats why I say we havent even started getting into the real work / responsibilities yet. We need to be an international circle or circles supporting each other (and especially for the sake of my home landbase here - have a few more local people who can be part of this more often), to help us get to manifesting the first of many possible examples, in the places we live. To be able to manifest whole-heartedly all of the solutions and beauty that the future could hold for everyone, we need to be organised. Because of the state of the world, this work is becoming more urgent than ever to prove while we still can, that its a viable alternative. We need the Medicine Ways Co-operative....and this co-operative needs people! Dont be a stranger ye hear? ;-)
