Finding the Path

I have been completely enthralled by the Homesteading movement. I have spent my few extra precious hours learning to grow foods, repair items and become less dependent on the traditional consumer model of being in the world. However, I am also devoted to growing sustainable communities, where people KNOW one another, work together for the greater good, and help heal our lives and the earth through sustainable living. Every time I read a homesteading article that talked about self-sufficiency, the old ways or rugged individualism ran through my head. Yet, I know, in the homesteading movement community is everything, we learn to share, ask for help, and open our lives to receive what the universe has to offer. This led me to communitysteading. Here I will explore theory, philosophy, and theology behind the Homesteading, New Urbanism, and Sustainable Community while relating it to my experience on the path.
