Thanks Alex. I'd also like to visit @samstonehill if I make it over there. My biggest concern with the whole thing is getting stuck in Europe if (when) there's another round of Covid related madness.
I'd also like to say that, after my experience in Mexico attempting to start "a community", the approach that you outlined in journal 16 is the way to go. I'm expecting great things to happen with the ecoVillages project based on this approach!
