COMMUNITY PEACEKEEPING

THE JELLYFISH PROTOCOL

Group Talking Circle Method

A simple, transparent group communication process suitable for professional or informal groups.

A simple process that allows everyone in a group to be heard and honoured.

It uses a talking stick that moves in one direction for a set number of rounds, with time limits as appropriate.

OVERVIEW

COMMUNE & INDIAN VILLAGE

I am seeking to establish a Commune or " Intentional Community" to provide a hub for traditional Indian Agnihotra farming, education and research in Victoria (southern Australia).

Initial locations and logistics have been scouted within a 2-3 hr radius of Melbourne ... including South West (Colac, Otways, Warrnambool), South East (Warragul, South Gippsland) and Northern (Shepparton, Kyabram) .

The foundations of such a place and community would be
(concurrently rather than in order of priority) ...

1. sustainable agriculture based around cows
and Homa Farming / Agnihotra

2. health, raw foods, fasting and counselling
using a model of "therapeutic community"

3. group collaboration on political,
environmental and artistic projects

4. partial use of low-tech and traditional building structures
including yurts and mud / cow manure adobe

5. regular participation in a talking circle process
(i.e. The Jellyfish Protocol)

Also under investigation is the concept of establishing a

"Traditional Indian" demonstration village

(at locations described above
or elsewhere in Australia as appropriate).

The demonstration village would serve as a learning centre for traditional Indian disciplines such as building, farming, herbalism, cooking and music.

This would seek to draw on the expertise of Indians now living in Australia and a range of cultural organisations.
