TO BUILD COMMUNITY - by sharing your goods and services with other local and like-minded people, you will help build stronger connection and community awareness.

VOLUNTARY SIMPLICITY – is the relaxation, with dignity, of the drive for high income and high consumption. We view this as the intent to live with more awareness of the long-range ecological and cultural effects of our lifestyle choices. Living consciously, we can share more of our time, energy and resources, and help and encourage individuals and communities to overcome the effects of the consumer society. This will enhance each person’s ability to relate to self, society and nature in a more responsible manner. 

SELF-RELIANCE – We do not view this merely as a means to an end for ourselves, but the key to restoring a stable and responsible society. 

LIVING GENTLY - We would like to share our goods and services in a way that builds community and leads to less consumption, teaching our children to be better stewards and live using resources wisely and gently.
