Gemeinschaft Tortuga

Mission: We want to be happy, healthy, loving, we just want the good life! That is why we’re founding this community, because in capitalism we just don’t fit in, we hate it here, we can’t stand that horrible society and we want such a different life. We want to go live on the land, put our hands to work, love, learn, do all the important things. We want to determine our own lives, together and not be determined. We want to share property, money, work, … for the benefit of everyone involved. We believe that the way we want to live is only possible in an intentional community on the countryside, neither in the city, nor alone.

From www.ic.org/directory/gemeinschaft-tortuga/:

We’re founding an intentional community located in northern Spain. At the moment we still live in Leipzig, Germany. Our main principles are:

* anticapitalism
* anti-esoteric / anti-spiritual / anti-religious
* antisexism
* communal economy
* consensus
* ecology
* freedom of domination / non-hierarchical structures / anarchy
* freedom in love (love who and how ever you want to)
* self-determined education
* self-sufficiency
* transparency
