The Wild Human Initiative now has a wonderful land base on which to develop our projects. Now we need the people!!! Read this and contact us, to join our efforts to build our tribal homestead. NOW is the time to take a break from Babylon and make our dreams come true. How The Wild Human Initiative Intends to Accomplish These Visions: Publication of a regular newsletter, a website, and various guidebooks and booklets relevant to our endeavors Establishment of a Community Vision Council, to facilitate regular potlucks, community events, and service projects Host community events such as Multicultural, Multigenerational, and Music Festivals, as well as Drumming Circles Offer workshops and speaking engagements to community members and the general public Offer outreach programs to provide various forms of emergency relief, including but not limited to food boxes, household and personal boxes, animal care boxes, free clothing and camping equipment for indigent travelers Establishment of a Living and Learning Community Center with archival facilities for researching and displaying relevant information and artifacts, and including a free coffeehouse for participants, with a computer-equipped study lounge and internet access Assistance and support to achieve personal goals Training and support in cottage industry projects Launching and maintenance of a web-based business to provide supplies and to sell the products of our cottage industries to financially support our endeavors Rental of a storefront to receive applications, hold meetings, sell cottage industry products, and to offer space for participants to work on those products Rental or purchase of a suitable homestead/camp/retreat, outfitted with vehicles and supplies, to offer Wild Human Initiative Camps and Retreats, as well as workshops and community events, and to employ and house our long-term participants Acquire and convert several schoolbusses and convert them to biodiesel, in order to offer biodiesel bus caravans trips to Belize, Costa Rica, and other sacred places inhabited by Wild Humans. These benefits and services comprise the following aspects of The Wild Human Initiative: Grassroots community building Living and Learning Community Center Wild Human Initiative Storefront Homestead and Camp Biodiesel busses for outreach programs and caravan trips The Wild Human Initiative will be represented by several interrelated programs. The Wild Human Initiative projects and programs will be committed to the processes of social maturation for people of all ages who are learning to understand relationships withing the context of community and human tribalism. These programs and projects will provide safe and supportive places from which to dare to look at themselves and the world and learn to live fulfilling and satisfying lives. The Wild Human Initiative Academy will provide guidance to participants for learning basic living skills, clearing up business from the past, such as legal and educational paperwork, as well as assistance in the completion of educational and occupational goals, by providing computer access, relevant materials, and connection with local community organizations. The Wild Human Initiative Camp will be located on a suitable homestead in a beautiful, natural setting, and will provide experiential instruction in survival skills, outdoor leadership, cottage industry handicrafts, and more. In addition to assistance with completion of educational and occupational goals at the storefront and learning center, and in addition to our outreach programs which will provide charitable relief to people in need, the Wild Human Initiative intends to implement the following activities at The Wild Human Initiative Camp: Learn arts and crafts both from long ago and from contemporary times, for personal enrichment and for sale to promote financial well-being Explore forests, streams and other natural features without fear and with a sense of childlike adventure and joy Stay in a tipi, cabin, yurt, treehouse, or other primitive, natural structure Enjoy bonfires, storytelling, and great food prepared from scratch Go on guided overnight hikes and walkabouts Learn to track, stalk, and read the environment with natural navigation and awareness skills Learn to fish and gather edible foods from the forest, as well as to utilize nontraditional methods of food gathering in urban areas Sleep under the stars and beside waterfalls in the mountains, and to swim in creeks and rivers Learn to create tools and other items from wood, stone and available materials Play fun games and make wonderful new friends Learn ancient survival skills such as edible plant identification, flint knapping, pottery, bowmaking, basketry, fire-by-friction, storytelling, drumming, dancing, and singing We are a long way from full implementation of this vision. The most important thing missing right now is people--YOU!!! Or some awesome self starter who is strong enough and smart enough to get here and go for it with us.
