AVALON

WHAT?

The creation of an eco village, a group space, tribal community .... integrating individual needs, in a wilderness environment and efficient orientation toward self-sustaining, autogenerating  our own resources: energy, food, education, health, financial, recreational, spiritual and vital, with proper use and environmentally friendly and those who compose it. The proposed model is a mixed economy, individual and common property.

WHEN?

Slowly but surely. In little over a year has to be founded as an entity (put the pasta), and not because we are into a hurry, but because most of us should prefer to go to the practical and the enjoyment of the celebration of tribal experiences, rather than lossing time and energy looking at  the long mirror and retail issues of vacuity discussions.  Pool season this year is too short ... you have to decide if you jump, or you prefer to stay on the ground ...

Just going to give us time to wonder, when we will be in the air, if we putted the suit or not ...

WHERE?

They are not all the answers because that's where you can reach surprising and is open that area without pre-arrange anything ... in any case, for now, the idea is river and forest. 
 
Northern Catalonia and the Pyrenees forests currently living and rivers, some people said that Montseny is also possible ... If we put Barcelona as a city shuttle, of course.

If this point is to be a consensus decision of the promoter group, in any case ...

HOW?

The financial proposal is to create a foundation of all persons founders of the project, a foundation that will acquire the different spaces and tools needed for our project. The Avalon Foundation should be able to raise capital at the beginning of some 600,000 euros to one million. The contribution / share of each member vary between 25,000 to 50,000 (depending on the number of people concerned with resources solvents) and may be in cash, or in part and providing your business, property, or integrating work in the service of the foundation , for example through Time Banks, where appropriate, and other formulas we see have worked in other similar experiences. Thirty people who meet that amount, and would not require going to outside investors, the latter can also be a possibility to consider if the need arises ....

The project team will be a seed, limited at first to seven to twelves persons, takimg the production design work and then, when we are already about a dozen, design, implement management to coordinate all areas.

We need to generate green entrepreneurship and prosperity for all:

1. A campsite at least 3 hectares, with a capacity to live in different ways-and independent-20 fixed homes, and structure to organize events for 200 people,

2. Fields, woods and river, living nature (whether in the same building or in another),

3. A space - owned or rented, and possibilities of large dimensions (housing included) in Barcelona.

WHY A CAMPING?

By purchasing a campsite in operation we’ll get 3 direct and immediate benefits:

1. We have a business that is paying dividends from the start

2. We benefit from prepared structures to house many families and legal projects so well ... active licenses in trade and restoration

3. We avoid having to punish  our backs or worse, constructing habitats for up to 20 families ... We shall only have to isolate and recycle the cabins with appropriate technologies.

The campsite also has several resources that generate economy, which will increase the closer we get closer to self-management and self-sufficiency, and they have been chosen very different people with disabilities who, naturally, will lead the areas in which brighter feel like, to give an example,

 " management of an organic restaurant,

 " the sale of handicrafts To design the members concerned,

 " a garage building mills that use renewable energy

 " own orchestra and theater group,

 " leisure and fitness community

 " biological production gardens that cater to members and whose surpluses are marketed through the supermarket's own camp and the local city,

 " generously sized community halls to rent or to exercise workshops,

 " library and screening room,

 " natural pool with solar heated,

 " ability to have horses or donkeys,

 " ability to host events for between 200 and 300 people

 " space in town to promote the ecovillage, edit publications, arrange space for entertaining, examples of urban permaculture.

 " Creating a training area for children

 " Centre for Alternative Therapies

 " Implementation of international certification courses EDE

 " A house for youngsters

I send you a link to the first thing we found when searching the network what the market offers to give you an idea of 
 
the possibilities.

The process of converting the original campsite in a green house with some degree of privacy for twenty or thirty homes is exciting, it maximizes the mobility of the structural elements of houses, which have always viewed as high design and comfort, and not as the simple huts that we will meet. Congratulate you buy a property with trees and shade areas established on the farm. The permanent school is almost initiative also obliged to have people with qualifications and experience in school administration, members with experience in various formations, and a score of youngsters of different ages with interest to discover.

WHO?

The invitation was initially has a number N of people, but only for him to be a group of more than twelve homes starting the process, the ecovillage would be successful. With fewer members, it would cover all necessary areas to full synergy, and one would expect that new members were added, but then come the time factor and blah blah blah ...

How do I sign up?

Now everyone must give this proposal its own color sense and, as his dream or limitation thereon. I hope all you will show out positively  before March 21, the weekend we will  faces as a group for the first time in the Base. 

[Organization of first meeting on 23 and 24 March in The Base, Masarac, Girona]

The suggested dynamic is to go by meeting once every 28 days in person, and work through the Internet and content objectives. At first you have to see how we meet to discuss whether the above is possible, as well as the contributions you can add each. In the first meeting is necessary to work the "common vision quest", the idea or vision under which we gather our energies and ideas. The book "How to create a life together" (Diana Leaf-Christan, Editorial Kawak) makes clear the way, and what better not to take shortcuts .... It will be obligatory reference book as appear best ideas ...
