Hola, at Chambalabamba Comunidad (chambalabamba.org) in Vilcabamba, Ecuador we are doing exactly what is mentioned in this article since 2012. Your or his ideas are totally coherent with ours. I am a long time radical anarchist activist and the founder of our mostly latino community. You might consider visiting sometime. Our foundation is love and connection with the pillars of personal integrity (authenticity), harmony, and unity.

I am involved in trying to bring horizontal governance to the gov't. of Ecuador (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wywMhg604W8) by first unifying all the 35 indigenous nations and the campesino communities with this singular demand. It takes time, we are connected with all of them.

So, we are aware of the need to evolve internally and at the same time deal with the outside world. I was an activist with food not bombs in SF for a number of years and I was the only one combining my spiritual path with activism. For me, to be spiritual without being an activist is impossible. We should all get together.

This is a vision I share. I will download his book. For a long time I have been living from a similar vision, sometimes meeting people of like mind but never so far in actual community. That's the hard part, founding an actual community rather than simply connecting online or in print, as valuable as that is. Given how the System works, to do so is harder than it looks because the forward momentum of surviving on the System's terms is predominant. But here I am. In the Catskill mountains. Might take a look at my latest book, Let's Burn the Flags of All Nations, that being a spiritual activist title if there ever was one! There's a poem in the book titled Slipping the Leash. You understand what that means -- freedom outside the domesticated back yard surrounded by a cyclone fence on all levels. Courage to jump the fence and run free...Michael
