We live in North Carolina and just met a lady who owns a big chunk of land. We're going to be meeting in the near future to discuss interest levels for launching an intentional community.
There is no real "theme" or central "ideal" to it. We will likely go for GREEN almost everything, but outside of that, we like the benefits of modern-day life.

With that said, what are the first big steps of getting the ball rolling?
What are some questions we should definitely survey at our first get-together?
Is there anything/anyone that we should definitely filter out of the vision? (By "anyone" I mean certain personas, archetypes or personalities)

Thank you!

Probably a good idea to have a significantly long "probation period" for new folks, to give them time to settle in and be their true self, before it becomes tough to remove them fairly. Also deciding how the property is managed/maintained/owned/insured from liability, and how members contribute to related expenses.

The holy trinity of wholesomeness: Fred Rogers - be kind to others; Steve Irwin - be kind to animals; Bob Ross - be kind to yourself

 
Permaculture is a more symbiotic relationship with nature so this tiny ad can be even lazier
