Spinnaker Eleos Community
Location To Be Determined,
United States
 Community of self-governing people promoting the well being and intrinsic value of all human life while living in a sustainable, egalitarian and increasingly more off-grid living mode and environment, and helping others to do the same.
Spinnaker Eleos Community exists for the purpose of actively demonstrating human capacity for true and equitable self-governance among its members and toward the greater society.
Members actively demonstrate concern for each others' well being and that of the people they encounter by fulfilling the only requirement of the Golden Rule (thus necessarily also fulfilling the lesser behavioral requirements of all governmental entities), and through providing humanitarian aid and relief to persons in need.

Labor and Money
Financial Style:
(Participation in community projects is always voluntary. Monies generated or contributed will be used to pay creditors, maintaining zero indebtedness. Any surplus created, acquired, or accumulated by the SE Community will be combined with other resources, and will be used to continue to fund existing projects and maintaining and building communtiy infrastructure, as well as to fund of new projects and stipend distribution. Stipends, when available, will be distributed according to need and availability. Stipends may not always be available nor their availability predictable. It is universally understood among all members that Sharing of any member's own resources is always Encouraged and Voluntary --never coerced or forced, directly nor indirectly. Coercion is *never* tolerated.)
Open to Members with Pre-existing Debt:
No Answer
(Depending on the circumstances and other factors, members may (but will never be obliged to) help the indebted person to pay a personal debt.)
Labor Contribution:
(Regular, active participation in work projects by all members is always anticipated, but SE is not a labor camp with quotas to meet other than what in the event of an emergency may be temporarily necessary for survival, and only according to each individual member's abilities. All contributions, including labor, money, expertise, teaching, visioning, etc., are voluntarily given and graciously received. Members regularly express their committment to SE Community Goals & Vision in the active and effective ways in which they are willing and able to express that committment. Contributions of any of the aforementioned resources made to the SE Community with reservations, or otherwise without an obvious accompanying heart-felt concern for the Communitity as a whole are not considered acceptable contributions (regardless of the amount given or frequency), nor are they viewed as real Community participation. No substitutes to heart-felt giving and real community participation are welcome.)

Members' lifestyles, social habits and methods of expression are such that they do not put their own nor others' health in jeopardy, neither directly or indirectly.)
