Nature centric

community wellness

We are the neoindiginous people of earth.
Find each other.

There is nowhere that people should not have access to, and the opportunity to live natural healthy lives, that are sustainable and nourishing for their bodies, minds and spirits.

Below is an outline of the current system. Each person buys a share by lump sum or installments. Their money should be able to be withdrawn in full at any time until land is purchased. Once there are sufficient funds, those with full shares can choose some land and buy it. This would continue to happen in keeping with demand. .

Note all figures are ball park but give an idea of costs invoved.

How much will it cost and what will I get?

Land that is practical, desirable and affordale is identified and depending on its price, will cost around $8k - $25k per hectare you would typically have around 1000 - 2500 square metres for a personal dwelling and the balance in the community commons for shared buildings, gardens, orchards, etc and the balance for nature to be nature. As there is money enough and worthy pieces of land available, we will continue to make acquisitions. (There will likey be some variance in the land allocation due to the nature of the land and each settlements ability to sustain more or less people)

So how does this work? (The math) Using Trademe (a New Zealand sales and auction website) as a guide for land fit for purpose and pricing, As examples we chose 8 nice farms and other land most suitable for settlement, (see The Where page) the prices varied between $8k - $18k per hectare. That's an average of $13k per hectare, with those properties being between 10ha and 300ha. Imagine we have around 300 people on board and so... 300 people x $50 each per week x 52 weeks per year = $780,000 per year. Over 5 years that's $3.9 million , thats 300 hectares @ $13k per hectare. We should own our first 50 - 100 ha in the first year and have pioneers living on the land. We will keep purchasing suitable land.

What will I live in? Essentially what ever you want. You'll be able to build your dream home (as long as it is within the local council guidelines) .

Cohabitat

The network relationships between villages including the "LifeB" community will be one of our greatest assets, it increases our knowledge, skills and abilities. Providing people and information to create a strong, agile and resilient network covering all aspects of our growth and development.

Food One of the primary reasons for being here gardening and farming, using natural regenerative practices to produce our own natural food. We'll have big beautiful organic gardens, greenhouses and orchards. It will take some time to get all that under way so contingencies will be required. It is also imagined that organic produce could be also be a major form of revenue going forward.

Governace and management Sociocracy is main contender here. Google it if you need to know more. But we will use everything in the toolbox that works for us and evolve as needed.

Tell me more! We hope to grow a network of settlements that each of us may find a neighbourhood/community that is a good fit for us. This can easily be a reality for hundreds of people and more. There is of course much more to do and discuss, and the website will reflect that as Cohabitat grows. If all of this sounds like something you're interested in or would like to get behind and help make happen click on the Contact/Join button at the top and hit us up for our "Discord"and lets start a more ecologically responsible, authentic and socially rewarding life.

Cohabitat

Cohabitat is working towards developing locally funded and run organisations. We want to connect people and increase the accessability, affordability and viability of nature based agroecological lifestyles for people who are ready, and give them the tools to get there.

So if you like the ideology, no matter where you are, get in touch, and be the change.
