Earthships
|
Permaculture
|
|
Earthships are dwellings that are usually in the ground and the best of the best design for that particular region. These dwellings are self-sustaining and require nothing but basic maintenance to keep running. Modest in size but more than adequate for comfortable living.
Aquaponics
Aquaponics is a system that integrates raising aquatic animals with cultivating plants in water in a symbiotic environment. Because aquaponics recycles the water in the system, it is particularly useful in droughts and areas with little water, there are less pests or need for pesticides, and plants grow twice as fast due to the naturally fortified water from the fish.
|
Permaculture involves making use of ground breaking designs for agriculture to naturally flourish with very little maintenance compared to traditional agriculture, thereby allowing the earth to produce food as it does in the wild. Proven models of this exist, it is all in the initial design.
Students
Students will run and maintain the homes and permaculture gardens. Students live and eat at Xanadu in exchange for their time, allowing them to study without the financial pressures of daily living.

XANADU: an idyLic place of great beauty, luxury and contentment
What we offer to the baby boomer generation...
Our aim is to get you completely self-sustaining, thus limiting your potential drain on already over stretched government systems that will not be able to sustain you once you move into retirement. Once you are in homes that do not require any energy it will be a big breather for many systems. Permaculture will be designed to produce enough and more food than necessary for you and students will keep it all running smoothly.
Your pod will have business rights so that although you may have retired, you still have the option to work, earn and pay taxes if you so choose.
With food, shelter, warmth and essentially all the basics taken care of you can work or not: perhaps 3 days a week or mornings only or change vocation completely and do what your heart desires, as living expenses are no longer a worry. You could even carry on with a lifelong career.
Socialise with your neighbours if you want to ….. Or don’t. Support your neighbours if you want to ….. Or don’t. Utilise communal spaces with your neighbours ….. Or don’t. You are not expected to like or even get to know everyone unless you choose to and they choose to. Much like everyone in your current suburb, you can get together …. Or not!
Lifelong savings and investments – keep them, use them as you choose…. A holiday, medical expenses or keep them in the bank or wherever they are. It is not our business but they will go a lot further than if you chip away at them each month and live 18 years longer than anyone expected you to. If you develop medical issues that eat into your savings leaving you with nothing to live on you wouldn't then become dependent on your children or a drain on society.
