PostaHouse - MISSION, Values, Seasons, Facility, Locale, Description, Rules of Engagement, Advance Payments

Dear Earthlings:

At PostaHouse we're ready to go for our season of living and loving sustainably.  Here's the mission, opportunities, and rules of engagements.

MISSION

PostaHouse is an intentional community and holistic vacation center devoted to education in the arts of healing, loving, and living sustainably.  The vision of this school of ecosexual love is to educate the whole person and to include our hostess, planet earth, as a partner with equal rights in all practices of love, including the cosmic, planetary, spiritual, affectional, romantic, and erotic manifestations of this life-giving energy.

Community Values and Behaviors

At PostaHouse we believe that "a world where it is safe to love is a world where it is safe to live."  We create, invent, imagine, host, and facilitate events and daily-living experiments that open up the portals of this world.  We believe that love is the ecology of life.  We welcome this cosmic energy in our midst, and channel its power in life-enhancing, peaceful, and sustainable ways.

We prefer vegetarian food unless animal food is available that comes from animals whose life has been happy.  We welcome clothing optional behavior when it is physically sustainable and while it is socially acceptable.  In the workshop room, we offer a clothing optional environment to facilitators who desire it.  We encourage the practice of yoga, physical exercise, contact with nature, enjoyment of pleasure, and meditation.  We requite compassionate communication and non-violent behavior.

PostaHouse is open for retreats, courses, workshops, and events from June 1st to September 30th.  It is open for community living from October 1st to May 31st.  Residencies are a unique opportunity to experiment with inhabiting, stewarding, and activating a restored early 1700 home, which was also a laboratory for everything the family produced, consumed, and recycled, in the barter, subsistence economy of the age.  At 300 + years old, this historical place has a lot to offer in guidance and memory to those seeking eco-sustainable styles of living in the digital age.  For opportunities and requirements see below. 

Summer Season and Rules of Engagement

Our workshop and facility is open for courses, retreats, workshops, and events from June 1st to September 30th.  We rent our workshop room for € 90 a day for up to 9 participants and not including facilitators.  We may add a € 10 fee per day per additional participant.  We may add midday meal for an additional fee as well.  

We are equipped to offer hospitality to facilitators, at no additional fee.  The nearby area is equipped to host visitors in eco-sustainable pensione type of facilities called agriturismi.  In addition to room and services, agriturismo guests get to sample locally produced foods prepared in characteristic ways.  Two of them are especially recommended, each a 5-10 minute car drive away.  Casale Valenzano and La Quercia are especially recommended, with seasonal prices varying from € 30 to 60 per day per person, including breakfast.  Other accommodations are available in the town of Posta, in close walking distance to PostaHouse.  Also available are a spat of fairly good restaurants, trattorias, and cafe, all in close walking distance.  Camping with one's own equipment is available in the garden of PostaHouse, with direct access to the half bath on the veranda.

Description of Locale and Facility

Located in the Alto Lazio region about two hours north-east of Rome, Posta is rich in fine mountain air, genuine traditions, tasty foods, and beautiful woods and forests. At 700 meters altitude, it stays nice and cool all year round.

Posta is located on the new Salaria highway, SS # 4, which branches out of Rome's turnpike, or GRA. Posta is about 40 minutes from the local city of Rieti and the Terminillo sky resort.

PostaHouse is a recently remodeled townhouse residence with private garden and veranda.  It features a workshop room for up to 15 participants.  This activity room is completely insulated, has an independent entrance, bathroom, and heating system, and is equipped with back-jacks, floor-mats, padding, high-speed internet, wi-fi, and sound system.  The residence is also equipped with high-speed internet, wi-fi all around, two autonomous heating furnaces, fully equipped large kitchen with gas stove, large fridge and dishwasher, two bedrooms, a large dining room, one and a half bath, a den, a sunny veranda, and a large garden accessed by a spiral staircase.  Its three-century old stone walls are a warm buffer from the Apennine winter, and a perfectly cool shelter from any summer heat.

Residencies: Committment and Rules of Engagement

Residencies are available October 1st to May 31st for a minimum of one-week stay.  To cover the costs of heating, electricity, internet, other utilities, and municipal taxes, we ask for a donation based on the number of people in the house.  For one or two  people, the donation will be of €10 per person per day.  When three people are in a residency together, the donation is only €8 per person/day.  This includes heating (when necessary), bedding, bath with hot water, and the use of the kitchen and fridge.  It does not include food or transportation.  

PostaHouse is a self-servicing holistic community.  Residents will contribute two hours of housework per day for five days a week.  These hours will be dedicated to run-of-the-mill housekeeping chores and meal preparation, for a total of 10 hours per week.  Residents are also encouraged to participate in community development projects.  These include tending the property and keeping its assets and systems in good repair; developing projects in gardening, digital systems installation, adapting and equipping spaces, construction, and painting; doing the research for such projects both locally and digitally; community awareness and bonding with the local cultures. Residents will dedicate a maximum of six hours per week to such projects.

With a total of 16 hours per week (ten in chores and six in projects) PostaHouse offers residents a significant opportunity to learn to live sustainably in a healthy environment, with freedom, good company, and a pristine landscape to explore and style to taste and inclinations. 

Are you ready to sign up for a residency with us?  Your donation will be acknowledged and credited to you as soon as it arrives.  We will reply to you and make plans for your arrival.  Be sure to let us know in good advance when you'll be coming.  Thank you!

PostaHouse: Report on Transition, Invitation to Ecosexual Partnership

Dear Earthlings:

Yours truly is very excited about PostaHouse.  It's a holistic community and ecosexual temple for the arts of loving inclusively.  It's in the Apennine mountains of central Italy.  And it's a place she loves.  Yours truly wants to tell you all about it and invite your contribution to the transformation underway.  Love, the ecology of life, is what's coming in.  You can be a partner in this.

PostaHouse was born in the fall when Jeffrey Andreoni, of New York, Italy, and Greece, arrived at the place and began the transformation underway.  It is now in transition from being an ancestral family home to becoming a holistic center with a core community of residents, and with a summer season open for courses, workshops, events, retreats.  The vision is aligning the world for the ecosexual future of our most compersive lover: third planet Gaia, the earth.  Education in the arts of loving is where this alignment begins.  

As we move toward the time when our first season begins, John Overton, of Nova Scotia, England, and Sweden, will take residence on the site.  John will offer stewardship to the property as needed and prepare the space as a school of love.  He will welcome contributions from others interested and will guide their action toward the vision.  The temple will be formed as a laboratory where education in the arts of love can begin.  Yours truly will continue to make the space available to those devoted to its becoming what it is destined to be.  She will support the process of transformation physically and energetically.  She will spread the word to healers, practitioners, facilitators, leaders ready to fill up the schedule of the summer season.  She will publicize events and take registrations in.  She will make her networks available as vehicles for this inspired work to begin.  

Education is the heart of democracy.  The true, horizontal collaboration we need.  Education to love is where the new democracy that includes planet earth as a partner begins.  When our talents as artists of love develop we become resources capable of generating all the love we need.  

At PostaHouse we offer participation in the process of creating the ecosexual temple we need.  This opportunity is open from March to September, 2012.  You, dear Earthlings, are invited to be part of this.  Please let John know what you have to offer and together we will design an agreement with you.

We also offer a temple-to-be where to teach these transformational tools, processes, and techniques that empower us as sources of love.  This opportunity is open from June to September included.  You, dear Earthling, are also invited to be part of this.  If you are a healer, facilitator, teacher, leader, bring your course, workshop, event, retreat to us, and we will find the most convenient time to put it on the schedule for the summer season.  We will make ad-hoc agreements with facilitators and teachers.  We will also publicize all events on calendar through our networks and take registrations in.

We at PostaHouse look forward to an ecosexual partnership with you.  We want this holistic community to steward the little piece of earth it has been given.  And we want this school of love to be the sacred, ecosexual temple it is meant to be.  To make this happen, dear Earthlings, we need you!

Mission Statement

3WayKiss is a non-profit corporation whose mission is to educate the public about the arts of loving and their infinite forms of expression.

In particular, these arts include styles of love that are inclusive, open, healthy, joyful, and sustainable, and practices of love that are non-violent, safe, respectful, legal, and consensual.  

3WayKiss supports research on love in its multiple forms of expression, including the sharing of emotional resources this involves.

3WayKiss also provides support to communities, institutions, organizations, and associations that practice these arts of loving, that study these arts, that offer education and training in them, and that disseminate information about them.

3WayKiss intends to foster a public climate where the arts of loving are seen as a domain of the arts of healing; where practicing these arts is seen as part of the global effort to create an emotionally sustainable planet; where  trusting others and sharing resources is seen as the source of abundance and peace in the world.

3WayKiss achieves its mission via participation in, and funding of, public events; educational venues; open-source dissemination; digital and conventional  media outreach; creative and scholarly projects; support for, and collaboration with, local/regional/global allies; and other opportunities and venues for collaboration, research, education, and information-sharing.

When you donate to 3WayKiss you promote these values and you get preferential treatment (including comps and discounts when available) to any of the events publicized on this blog.  Your generosity is deeply appreciated.  Pledge your tax-deductible gift now!

Thank you!
