This is a brainstorm and visioning of the physical elements that Participants get excited about living with. These elements could be general purposed or get as detailed as Participants want and will be added and perhaps removed as time goes by as the Tribe grows.This is where we dream of the places and things that give space to our being to play in all its wonder. There are immovable natural elements (or at least some elements that are more connected to the land itself) and community created elements which are easier to move around or choose the placement of when designing the eco-village. Many elements can overlap and interact and we will explore these when we develop the Permaculure Plan.
