A situation where people knowingly and willingly
share aspects of living accommodation and
material goods. In addition, there should be some
sort of structure that it is possible to join and in so
doing become an equal and participating
member.

Living together with a common purpose – to work
creatively towards a lifestyle that reflects shared
core values.
The task is to create a new society within the shell
of the old.

Fostering ‘intrinsic’ values – among them self-
acceptance, care for others, and concern for
the natural world – has real and lasting
benefits. By acknowledging the importance of
these values, and the ‘frames’ that embody
and express them; by examining how our
actions help to strengthen or weaken them;
and by working together to cultivate them, we
can create a more compassionate society, and
a better world.
