Hello Eco-friendlies,

On Christmas day of 2007 I headed down to Belize. Here in Belize I have been working on a few interesting projects, the focus of which is building a permaculture ecovillage in the tropical rainforest jungles of Belize within the heartland of the once powerful Mayan empire.

The rainforest here is filled with an abundance of foods, medicines, beautiful animals, and of course sun, rain, and very rich soil.

As part of the founding member team that is creating the ecovillage on 130 acres of pristine jungle, I would like to invite any and all who may be interested in coming down to visit and/or do a work-trade helping to co-create this wonderful place. Whether you'd like to actually come for a visit or not, I recommend at least becoming a member of the Better In Belize tribe at:

tribes.tribe.net/betterinbelize

We're particularly looking for people who have knowledge of permaculture, gardening, eco-friendly off-grid living, and of course lively fun-loving spirits who are willing to learn and help. Spread the word to friends if you know someone who may be interested. ;)

The property is located on one of the major rivers (The Macal) which flow out of the Mayan mountains. The site already has tropical fruits growing (Bananas, Jackfruit, Breadfruit, and more). Lots within the ecovillage are being sold for $29,000 an acre with specific rules for keeping 50% of it as greenspace, and any house plans must be passed by the community before allowing construction to make sure they fit the standard of eco-friendly. For $129,000 one can purchase 1 acre and get a 2 bedroom eco-home built as well that is fully self-sufficient on eco-power (Hydro/solar), bio-digester plumbing (includes methane production), and either filtered water from the river or a rainwater catchment system depending on the location within the community. It also comes with high-speed satellite internet hooked-up as well as access to other community resources.

If you'd like to learn more, please check out the evergrowing website at: BetterInBelize.com

and be sure to join the Better In Belize tribe at: tribes.tribe.net/betterinbelize

Peace, Love, Unity, Respect,
Indra

P.S.- Feel free to message me with any questions you might have.
