@markwhittam I am grateful to meet you. I believe communities are the wave of the future--loving, supporting, and honoring ourselves, each other, and especially the children!!
I live in the sustainable eco-village the @gardenofeden in Texas, founded by @quinneaker, a visionary of New Paradigm living. I feel you will resonate with our life and purpose. There is much to be explored and doing it together is of incredibly great value.
I am thankful to find your post and all of these lovely people commenting who also are interested in community living. Building community is one of my passions (I am immersed in building the artists' community here on Steemit), as well as conscious awakening and honoring children. Upvoting and following you.
hey @everlove. i am so glad to find you here. i would like to do a feature article in Medium on you : i would like to send you a draft for your input. i want to write something you and others in your world will be happy with.
Well, isn't that an intriguing offer @marionjoe!!! I would love to discuss with you what you have in mind. Want to chat in Steemit Chat? Give me a shout. I really love to share the magic. O would be so honored!!!
do you feel like talking now. i prefer the voice chat. no typing required. yesterday (with the help of one of the members in discord SteemSpeak) opened a voice/text chat room in discord Bit Nation : Bit Village . can we talk in there? here is the invite link ==>> https://discord.gg/3tCMu . i had an hourlong talk with @markwhittam last night on whatsap and this invite is for you also mark. i am not opening the chat room to public yet, just people that i would like to talk shop with.
and here is my steemit introduction post.
Yes I would have like that. I see the invite has expired. I didn't now such a thing existed, but I love the idea and want to chat with you.

I've opened it but don't know what to do.

Wow, this is beautiful.
Thank for taking this time to write this lovely comment, we too believe that community living is the only way.
We are totally blown away by this project you are involved in The Garden of Eden, we are following with eyes wide open.
Children are going to be at the center of this community we are building and we will be starting a free school and a forest school.
Thank you very much for reaching out to us, we appreciate it very much, and we are looking forward to sharing our experiences @gardenofeden @quinneaker and @everlove
Oh and my partner Louise is an Artist too
And this too is a great reply @markwhittam!! Grateful you are tuning in and having the opportunity to share with us from a distance. At the @gardenofeden we too are blown away, pinching ourselves everyday that this is actually our life!! If people were truly aware of these possibilities, I believe they would be knocking down our doors to get in. It's not likely a lifestyle for everyone, but those of us who find value in supporting one another, are benefitting greatly.
I'm excited to hear about your journey, especially how it unfolds for he children, as I believe one of the grandest purposes of the @gardenofeden is to hold space for the children to be honored as divine beings. Who knows, perhaps we will someday share the dream!
