Dolph<strong>in</strong> Community<br />
The Dolph<strong>in</strong> Community - Ways to God - stands for the connection between<br />
Heaven & Earth - Spirituality & Matter - Vision & Implementation.<br />
Based on this pr<strong>in</strong>ciple, we live together <strong>in</strong> a community through<br />
spiritual diversity, common chant<strong>in</strong>g, hik<strong>in</strong>g and bik<strong>in</strong>g tours, nurs<strong>in</strong>g<br />
children, decision mak<strong>in</strong>g and conflict resolution, without own<strong>in</strong>g a common<br />
place to live at. We try to learn from other people's experiences and<br />
attempt to share our own experiences through our <strong>Eco</strong>-village Institute<br />
consultancy by look<strong>in</strong>g for communities and references, with the aim <strong>of</strong><br />
serv<strong>in</strong>g the next <strong>in</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e. We are currently engaged <strong>in</strong> sett<strong>in</strong>g up a hospital<br />
<strong>in</strong> India, where the poor would receive free medical treatment. It is possible<br />
to grow up to some 15 members <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g children, and later on to<br />
get <strong>in</strong>tegrated <strong>in</strong>to a bigger unit such as an <strong>Eco</strong>-village. As a potential<br />
first step, we have founded Regional Talent-Exchange Society (a development<br />
on the LETSystem based on the talents <strong>of</strong> the society members).<br />
The identification <strong>of</strong> our hous<strong>in</strong>g is someth<strong>in</strong>g we leave to div<strong>in</strong>e<br />
<strong>in</strong>spiration, and it will most probably be <strong>in</strong> the prov<strong>in</strong>ce <strong>of</strong> Baden, between<br />
Heidelberg and Basel, with perhaps land enough for permaculture.<br />
F<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g can be solved through contributions from the already exist<strong>in</strong>g<br />
solidarity fund <strong>of</strong> community projects <strong>in</strong> Northern Germany, or by establish<strong>in</strong>g<br />
a Southern German fund.<br />
