My dream is to live on a self sufficient feminist separatist commune, with a temple or shrine to the Goddess of course, as well as an extensive library and art facilities with a pottery wheel, kiln, weaving loom, photography dark room, theater, music room, etc. There'd be a farm and chickens, yoga and dance, and all kinds of alternative therapies, massage, etc.
Male lovers would be free to visit during designated times but not to live onsite, and male children could stay in a separate adjoined facility next door for families. All visiting males would be subject to screening and could be banned by democratic vote if necessary.
For revenue we could offer farmstays, seasonal camp, farmers markets, and would host entertainment and festivals. Like artist residencies, there would be an application process and fee-waived stays would be temporary, but anyone could apply for an extension. There would be no hierarchy because it would be a co-op, and every person would be responsible for participating in voting and making sure everything is fairly distributed. We'd observe the equinoxes and solstices, new moons and full moons, and dance and sing and create...
Maybe on some level I can make at least some of this a reality. I'm trying to focus on how I'd like my future to feel, instead of passively falling into relationship traps and patterns that only disappoint, and dwelling on sadness. I don't want to waste my life that way anymore. I can actively create the life I want, and I want it to be more about elevating myself and others rather than being torn down over and over for nothing. I hereby cut ties with all that no longer serves my highest good.
