Main idea is to establish, develop a truly well planned and managed, multicultural and in all respects high-quality “Good Life Community” (GLC) for about 30-50 people. GLC exists in a historic, large, and beautiful Sahala multi function farm in Rautalampi municipality, Finland.
The lifestyle shall be in many ways higher quality = safer, more social and satisfying, more rewarding and joyful than normal urban or even rural life.
It is also meant to be mentally, socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable, open minded, innovative, warm-hearted, and healthy.
Clean, potential, and well-organized country of Finland enables variety of small business opportunities to the members, even if the goal is also to downshift to more peaceful life from the consumption and money centred and stressed modern way of living.
