Hi Helen & Michael,
Thanks for your positive responses.
And yes Helen, a new up to date version of the True Levellers can definitely
work.
I have also been thinking about collaborating with people interested in setting
up off-grid groups, and hacking without technology, and I think it relates to
the same context as well as contemporary ideas around new forms of Permaculture.
Wishing you well.
