So first I started off with some free association. not everything on here is in my final vision, but it was fun:
scholarly talks, discovery channel-ish workshops (building things from junk, sustainable bldgs, bridges, ropes courses, survival training, bug cuisine, raw primal diet, labyrinth build, permaculture workshops, boat building, bike fixing), detoxifying weeks (raw, tcm soups, herbs), arts workshops, dance, photography, massage, womens weeks (arts, dance, yoga, primal therapy, eating abundance, sacred ceremonies), outdoors weekends (hiking, rock climbing, music, fun, kayaking, cooking, massage), joy workshops (laughter yoga, shadowlands, poetry, music, dance), the hub of auroville, permaculture garden, labyrinth, beauty retreats (color, sound therapy, hiking, nature connecting, skin detox, sacred bathing), inner child retreats, womens healing sanctuary retreats, storytellers retreats, musicians retreats, academic retreats, nature connection retreats (building huge nature sculptures, balancing rocks, sweat, meditative walks, hideout making, sacred fires), primal retreats(sweat, sacred fire, dance, scream therapy, hideouts, burial, waterfall practice, being plants, energy plant work, regression hypnosis), dance sing play-recreate the roaring 20's retreat, zen retreat, taoist retreat. political revisioning think tank. tropical facial and body wrap retreat. medicine womans retreat. archetypes retreat.
an only slightly more refined sentance brainstorming:
a place to learn skills for self sufficiency (foxfire, reenactment, folk crafts), a place to stay and build community around, a place to strengthen, a place as hub to move outward and help the world with acts of service. a place for volunteerism. who can we help for free? how can we get more people helping freely, giving freely of themselves. how can we do things simply? how do we play and interact with the strong forces that are already here, humbly, with faith, little by little every day? here to honor that. a place for peace talks. a place to make volunteers feel their own core, before heading out.
a working off grid permaculture farm where food is cultured and pickled for market and bread and clothes and tools are made from scratch.
a health farm with daily regimen of yoga and meditation and nature walks and sauna-ing.
a health farm that has healing workshops and offers a place of respite for healing workers, and that also takes on the difficult healing projects--like head traumas, cancer camp, autistic children camps, studies on depression, intestinal complaints, copd.
a place with the energies of a down home country farm (musicians, folklife), a quiet healing place, with healing pockets of silence and beauty, and a place where people come to think about ideas, and recharge their visions and campaigns for a better world.
artists, musicians, healers, yoginis, farmers, builders, animal raisers, wildcrafters, folk crafters, cooks and shaman all live here
