Vision

“To create a place where multiple generations, from cradle-to-grave, experience the living of Human Values and ethics, so becoming balanced individuals, and children become responsible role models for the future.”    Mission summary...

CoHousing

Co-housing is a way of living which brings individuals and families together in groups to share common aims and activities while also enjoying their own self-contained accommodation and personal space.  We are creating both a Senior-CoHousing and a Multi-generation-CoHousing project.

Ecovillage

Ecovillages are communities of people who strive for some of the basic goals such as: self-sufficiency in food, energy, production and services and a lifestyle in harmony with fellow beings and nature. Those people are willing to scale down their current lifestyle, to live just by their basic needs, and heighten their level of consciousness. more...

The current situation

The Friends of Culdees are receiving a quantity of young native trees from the Woodland Trust as part of a nation-wide project of tree-planting.  It is planned to start planting a hedge-row on 12th February 2012 and everyone interested is welcome to come and help.  Please contact us for further information.

Physically, we have some 120 acres in rural Scotland where we are working on our project.  To help generate some income to fund the project we run Culdees Bunkhouse to provide an accommodation service. You can read in our Manifesto* about our ideas and the aims we wish to implement. We operate under a charitable trust and are at present exploring the implementation of sociocratic principles of organisation.  Please be aware that there is much work needed to be done. We invite people who can relate to our ideas and who are interested in helping us achieve our objective to get in touch with us.

* Definition of manifesto:  a public declaration of principles and intention.
