WAY OF LIFE
We choose to live close to Mother Earth and in Community, learning the way of harmony through respect, freedom and compassion, acknowledging the Divinity that exists within us and in all.
All of us that form the core group of community members were born and raised in the city. For each one the sense of not being satisfied with the quality of city life is what brought us to the forest, in search of a higher frequency of living. We don't want to be exposed to constant information waves, influences and pollution in its many forms. We want to live in common unity, where we know our neighbors as friends that we trust and who support a common vision and practice of awareness.
At Florestral we live in an ever-expanding ecologically conscious way, studying and creating more ways for sustainability while minimizing our imprint; by using less, growing more, trading, sharing and recycling. The land has enough space for each member and shareholder to own a private lot on which to build his/her own home and garden and maintain privacy. The majority of the Land is communal shared land.
As members of Florestral Community , we are in the constant practice of expanding our own consciousness, to be more sensitive, attentive and respectful, to give as well as to receive. Participation in the community is necessary for us to grow together in harmony.
We hold sacred space for circling, for communication to happen and visions to be shared. . We respect and enjoy the variety of lifestyles and cultures of all the individuals in the community.
We aim to live by the principles of Truth, Simplicity and Love.
Our greatest Teacher and Guide is Mother Nature, who surrounds us and gently embraces us with her love. Our intention is to listen and learn and to do well as stewards for the care of the Earth.
