What we do

Seeking those that are fed up with a insane system. That not only does it not work, but it is counter intuitive to a truly rational thinking person.
I’m looking for other people to cooperate, network and support for ourselves, others and those that come after us, a life filled with passion, purpose and yes I’ll say it, love for all.
I invite you to the Similkameen Valley and beyond.
Talk to me, and lets find out if we are heading in the same direction.
Sincerely. Stephen Eusebi

Our Mission

Buck Minster Fuller said“ You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete
We are faced with an obviously corrupt and insane system, what I intend to do about is find fellow talented, strong, compassionate and fiercely freedom loving people to join me in operation Life Boat.
Cawston B.C is an amazingly beautiful area with the best growing conditions anywhere in Canada.
In some what along the lines of Micheal Tellinger ‘s Ubuntu idea the plan is to purchase 10 acre or so properties that groups of two, three or four can cohabitate and work together, and repeat the process to the next property and so on.
Each pod being part of the bigger group.
The ideal I wish to see happen is that we create a life for ourselves and others that you never need a vacation from, a life of passion and purpose.
I am only at the very beginning of this journey and am looking forward to meeting all those who feel that this is what they wish to accomplish as well.
There is currently a position in my company for a journeyman carpenter and electrician, on a casual work basis.
Peace.
