“Thriving in a Time of Crisis:
Building Sovereign, Self-Reliant Communities
on the Land.”
Welcome to our fourth online Conscious Earth Alliance Conference where we explore building communities on the land in times of crisis. There are now many reasons to get out of the cities, and many advantages to living in the countryside. With the Covid crisis and Great Reset agendas and the push for “smart cities”, more people than ever are looking to move to the land.
In this conference we focus on a range of practical factors for living on the land, whether in a developed intentional community, a homestead or a yurt in a forest.
The themes we will cover include:
- The context: why we need local self-reliant communities today, especially in the face of present political and economic situations.
- Positive Responses: Permaculture, growing and sharing food, earth houses and collective building, natural healing and herbal clinics.
- Education: home-schooling, life-long learning, indigenous and new paradigm ways of learning;
- Cultivating a new culture: mutual emotional support, collective decision-making and self-governance processes in the context of community living.
- The physics of bio-buildings that allow life-force (and seeds!) to grow.
- Integrating the Subtle and Spiritual Dimensions: meditation, yogic practices, energy work, studies in higher consciousness, cosmology and indigenous spirituality.
Life in the country offers many obvious benefits: community support, land to grow food on, clean water sources, air to breathe, nourishing connections with nature, safety for children, a more relaxed and human pace – in short, control over our own lives, and the power to create for ourselves the kind of society we want to live in.
The age of industrialized, city-based living has reached a peak. The calling has never been stronger to get out of the cities and into the country, where we can build a new self-reliant, flourishing life, free of the growing tyranny around us, and at the same time provide an inspirational model for others.
It is time to reclaim our stake in our own future, for the sake not only of our survival but our personal and collective freedom and well-being, and the sacredness of all life.
Join our talented and dedicated speakers who explore these exciting and important themes.
