Dear Ashland City Council and Mayor Stromberg,
I am writing to you today as one of the founders and the project co-director of the
Shambhala Eco Settlement, which is based on 466 acres of land a few miles south of
Ashland.
I noticed that on today's Council agenda you will be talking about potential uses for the
Imperatrice property. We have come up with what we think is the perfect idea for this
property.
Basically the idea is to create an eco village on this land by dividing up the 'usable' part
of the 800+ acres into 2.5 acre plots with a town center, lots of community space and
other infrastructure as well. This project would be not just 'sustainable' but 'infinitely
sustainable' with multiple centers of initiative, and will put Ashland on the world map as
having created a model for an eco community that can be replicated almost anywhere in
the world and scaled up or down.
In our estimations this project could potentially create initial revenues of between 10-20
million dollars (with the net profit being a large part of the gross) and then residual
annual income streams of several million more. And the best part of this plan is the City
wouldn't have to spend much money or none at all to make this a reality. Most or all of
this can be done with private money in a way that the City retains permanent ownership
of the 'project' (though not the individual 2.5 acre plots) and all its profits and revenue
streams.
You might be saying at this point "how can this be true?" or "how can we make all this
money from this seemingly 'unusable' grazing land?". Well I can tell you that we are
already doing the almost exact same thing on a smaller and less expensive scale on land
that is just a few miles away from the Imperatrice property . We have already sold several
2.5 acre plots and have waiting lists for future plots we will be selling.
You will likely have a barrage of well intentioned people with their ideas come try to
explain why their plan is the best, etc. But Shambhala is the ONLY project of its kind in
the entire bio-region. Believe it or not, there is only one eco community in this entire
bio-region and it is Shambhala. Now having said that we are in the second year of our
project and there are still lots to learn and do.
I tell you this because in considering the potential uses of this property there will be some
people suggesting to you that an eco village or intentional community should be created
on this land. I am sure all of them will be well intentioned but I don't think any of them
are actually creating an eco village in this area at the present time and can speak with the
kind of clarity and experience that we can.
I write to you today about one year earlier than I had planned. F or the last year we have
Page 1 of 4
been working on a plan for the Imperatrice property. This plan is an almost mirror image
of the Shambhala Eco Settlement, although there are some differences in the way that it is
setup legally and with the relevant zoning laws, etc.
Our land is just about 30 miles south of the Imperatrice property and is virtually the same
type of terrain. Our land, which is on the Oregon-California border has been overgrazed
and is in need of much ecosystem repair as is the Imperatrice property.
Weare developing an eco village on our 466 acres that will rival any eco village in the
world as a pinnacle of 'infinite sustainability'. Our project is over two years old and we
already have a huge demand and waiting list for the 2.5 acre plots we are selling. As a
matter of fact through the pre-sales of these 2.5 acre plots we were able to buy our
property outright, pay cash for it and now are a fully capitalized community.
In the next year many things will happen. We will successfully complete phase one of
our vision which will see 22 families and individuals start to move onto our land. We
will begin to create the necessary infrastructure to sustain this community. And we will
raise more money to purchase additional land as our first 466 acres is almost completely
filled up.
The reason I am writing this letter about one year earlier than I expected is because we
wanted to have the benefit of all the knowledge and experience that will surely come over
the next year implementing our plan. With the two years of knowledge that we already
have and the next year of 'beta testing' I am sure we could present a workable plan for the
Imperatrice property.
But now that the future uses of this property are being discussed I find myself writing to
you in hopes to give you enough information that you would be interested in learning
more.
So what I would ask of all of you and what I would propose is this:
· Allow the RFP process at least 6-12 months to really vet all the ideas that are
presented for potential uses of the Imperatrice property. This would give us
enough time to present the necessary information to Council in order to move
forward with this plan if that is what Council decides.
. Meet with us individually in private so we can show you our already well
developed business plan with all the numbers and timelines for Shambhala to be
created. Since the land is virtually the same topography and since our proposal is
basically to do the same thing we are doing with the Shambhala land, it would be
very educational if we were able to show you the details of our vision and plan.
Then we would be able to custom tailor a plan for the Imperatrice property that
builds on the one we already have.
Shambhala Communities are the spearhead team for the creation of these types of Eco-
Page 2 of 4
settlements all across the State of Jefferson bio-region, and our proposal will also involve
the Shambhala Executive team including the Project Director and other officers.
Unfortunately most of this information is still proprietary and confidential so we could
not make copies available to the public quite yet. However, we are willing to show each
and every one of you the details of our plan and explain what it all means for the
Imperatrice property. But again this information is not yet for public consumption and
needs to be shared in private.
The Shambhala eco settlement is the first of its kind outside of Russia. In Russia there
are over 300 large communities (create in the last 12 years!) ba~ed on this model. The
model is much different that every other eco/intentional community model, which tends
to have people sharing kitchens and bathrooms. Most eco/intentional communities are by
definition 'communal communities'. The Shambhala model and the one we are proposing
for the Imperatrice property is not based on a communal model, but rather one where
each family or individual gets 2.5 acres of land. There is also a certain template
contained within the model in regards to how each 2.5 acres is setup and developed that
is also unique to the Shambhala model. Requirements such as planting trees in over 50%
of the space, and planting fruiting and flowering tall shrubs around the borders of each
space (that acts like a fence for large animals) are just a few of the template-specific
details that are required to make this model ecologically sustainable. The reason for 2.5
acre plots is basically it is the minimum amount of land needed (factoring in everything
else) to sustain a normal sized family economically, and not so much land that the family
would have to ask for help from their neighbor who would be doing the same thing.
One last thing I want to share is that much of our vision and plan has been adopted by the
wildly successful model that was originally created in Russia (of all places!). In Russia
the Dacha's (people and their small garden plots) grow 77% of all the vegetables, 87% of
all the fruits and berries and 92% of all the potatoes for the entire country! All of this is
on 10% of the total agricultural land in Russia while corporate farms use 83% to grow
much less.
The 300 eco villages that have been created in the last 12 years have mostly been inspired
by a series of books that are now the most popular books in Russia and becoming very
popular around the world. These books are called 'The Ringing Cedars of Russia' * and
they are being described as 'spiritual permaculture'. All of you are familiar with
permaculture and the ultra-important role it plays here locally right? The Ringing Cedars
books describe ways to bring more spirituality to permaculture. This stuff is not taught at
all by any of the permaculture experts here in America so that is why we have had to read
the Ringing Cedars books to get this information.
Although the Shambhala community and the people that are a part of it have been
inspired by the Ringing Cedars books, whether or not one may have read the books does
not preclude them from active, direct participation in our earth-changing project. We
realize that combining politics and spirituality can be a recipe for disaster, and we don't
want anyone making the assumption that our proposal for the Imperatrice property is
Page 3 of4
going to end up being some kind of 'hippy dippy' spiritual commune or worse. Our plan
for the Imperatrice property is grounded in business, economically solid and provable,
and will be fully sustainable and profitable. If there is some kind of spiritual benefit that
comes with that then so be it.
In any case there is so much information to share I am having a hard time finding where
to begin. As I mentioned earlier I am having this conversation about one year before I
intended to. Admittedly I am a little unprepared as far as what the structure of this
conversation looks like, but the details themselves are being worked out already as the
Shambhala eco viilage is co-created.
I will be at tonight's Council meeting and will read this letter during the comment period.
Thanks for your time!
Kind regards,
Christopher Iverson
*Here is a little more information about the Ringing Cedars of Russia books:
The Ringing Cedars of Russia series has been creating a frenzy of excitement among
people from all walks of life. The Series has been translated into over 20 languages and
already sold over 10 million copies, with no advertising except word of mouth!
After reading these books thousands of people have quit their jobs! Why? Because...
. The Ringing Cedars Series contains some of the most important revelations to
appear in thousands of years of human history-so significant, they are changing
the course of our destiny and rocking scientific and religious circles to the core.
. Powerful, myth-shattering messages in these books reveal profound wisdom
grounded in ancient knowledge, expose suppressed secrets and hidden historical
fact and offer a whole new paradigm for our planet's future.
Bookstores across Europe have reported that the Ringing Cedars Series are their most
stolen books!
