Love For Land

*****LOVE FOR LANDS*****
Awright! So, I know I aint the only one dreamin of US* havin land* So, what does it look like? Where do we wanna land & what do we want to create *Together?;) I see us creating something that we could call *HOME* A place where we could call others to us & share our spirit with them. A place that becomes what we remember from our dreams*
*We are a community, tribe, a village spread across the world. We are evolutionary artists with heart, integrity & tremendous imagination* Our family is growing. At the same time, our manifestation capabilities are increasing. 'Love for Lands,' is a source for creation's contribution to a common vision*
**Possibilities:.........
*Land Foundation (Oregon, Northern Cali, Hawaii, or ..?)
*What I envision: A space for Healers, Teachers, Artists, Musicians & Performers
for relaxation, co-creation, celebration, manifestation, human relations, education & ho-downs!!
--- I would like the healing & creation to be organic. However, we could also host various Healing Gatherings, (non-profit), Artistic Events, & *Celebrations!
--- Education could also play a key role in L.F.L. Classes could be taught to children-adults on everything from music-ecology-dance-healing arts-etc...
*There are many innovative ways that this can be sustainable. For instance: Any # of musicians can book a creative rendevous ...& a % of the proceeds from what is recorded there can go back to the land.
* I'm also researching Non Profit options.

* How's this for a start?:......(based on the sweet setup @ 'Cougar Mt. Lodge')
--- Lots of Land:)
--- A recording studio with a spectacular view
--- A main community lodge with a large fireplace/ also large space for dancing or gathering
--- Main Guest Lodge w/
a) kitchen downstairs
b) many various guest rooms upstairs
c) living room/ bathrooms
--- Various separate guest dwellings such as (yerts, 'earthships,' cabins, cobb dwellings etc....)
--- Various separate structures to be utilized for the healing, arts & education
--- sauna/ hot tub
--- *Garden
* There are many possibilities this is just the beginning. With exuberance, respect, sweat & integrity, I believe we can manifest something we could all *Love. As my friend Matt Mcune says, " Many hands make light work."

**Dream within a Dream**
"Years & years ago, before we were *US, I was gazing in front of a fire, coming onto 'cubenzies, when suddenly I grasped the old man's arm, next to me. I said, " The tribe is coming together." He looked back at me for an eternity, then smiled* I believe we have been dreaming this together for some time... At a 'Freedom Gathering,' in 2003, Christian a.k.a. Buddahmonkey shared his vision for the Bali healing center. I knew with certainty that it would manifest. Since that time I have been dreaming bigger too* We inspire each other. This vision is very open for suggestion, collaboration & co-creation. This is day 1.... I will pitch in.* While we're at it, should we get a couple of boats?:)" Grinnin, Kiff*
*WEBSITE* This is a tribe was initially created for a possible website we might create. The website would feature art, music, fashion & events created by *US* This website's intent would be two-fold. First, the site would advertise & sell our tribe's creations. (When I am traveling outside of the West coast, people often ask where I've gotten an item that a friend has created. I respond, 'If you're ever in Portland, go to 'Le Rouge.') So obviously, the internet is the path of least resistance to abundance* Another aspect of this website would be that a % of the art/fashion etc. sold on the site would go to a Land Foundation that WE* could create* I got the download while on a road trip with my grandpa last summer. I get excited bout baby steps to the bigger dream* Also, I dig the ideas that .further abundance to our tribe in bigger ways...such as LAND etc, and then the possibilities of what we can create on that land!!! .....So, fo' sho' I can't do this alone...What do you think? Here's what I have seen as a possibility for the site:

Mission Statement:)
We are a community, tribe, a village spread across the world. We are evolutionary artists with heart, integrity & tremendous imagination* Our family is growing. At the same time, our manifestation capabilities are increasing. 'Love for Lands,' is a source for creation's contribution to a common vision*
*The 'Gist:'
This is a virtual marketplace for artists, musicians & performers. At the same time, it is a baby step toward the *Lands we dare to dream* The artists who are featured on L.F.L. donate a % of their profits sold on the site go to a land foundation that *WE create together* Also, events could be advertised on the site, with a percentage of the ticket sales going to the Land* This could snowball into somethin pretty big! This is co-creation. This is our time......
I can see us there already....*

***List of ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES to be fulfilled:
I am putting this concept out to you all as a possible avenue of manifestation.* I was given the blueprint. We can fill in the blanks. Or not..... There is the possibility that no one will. I just know that it was time I share this concept with you. This is Day 1.....*
Who would like a job? It may not pay much initially... Perhaps we will achieve non-profit status. Otherwise, this could be an invaluable contribution. 'Love for Lands,' has the following positions available:

1) Web Designer:
Piepo has offered to donate some hours to the web design of L.F.L.; if this is a 'GO>' We will indeed need more web support..
2) Graphic Designer:
Someone to create visual inspiration for the site. This person could also translate future land layout plans to the website.
3) Non Profit officiate:
Someone well versed in non profit status options, requirements & applications. Someone who can discuss those possibilities with me & perhaps 'spearhead' non profitt endeavors for L.F.L.
4) Accountant:
Someone to 'keep the books,' and navigate taxes
5) 'L.F.L.' Gaurdians:
One-two people to be in charge of guiding and updating the website once we are launched. Will communicate with artists, event coordinators & perhaps customers. ( We will endeavor to have the site as self sustaining as possible.)
6) Writers:
Someone to write & publish updates, literature, etc. regarding the L.F.L. Foundation, it's artists & members*
7) Distribution Master:
(I've spoken to a few online companies & there is a system designed specifically for tracking- so this position could be obsolete.) Someone to track artist's distribution of orders. This person may also play a role in 'event ticketing' distribution.
8) Graphic Designer:
Someone to create visual inspiration for the site. This person could also translate future land layout plans to the website.
L.F.L. also must have:
9) Paypal Account for L.F.L.
10) Bank Account for L.F.L. with *I*N*T*E*G*R*I*T*Y*
**When we get to the level of actualization, we will be looking for various other team members... Also, we will be needing environmentally conscious builders, land surveyors, etc....We will cross that bridge, when we get to it:)
