On August 16th 2006, we finalized the purchase of 40 acres outside Norwalk, Wisconsin. After many years of looking forward to a wooded, rural residence for study-practice and saving donations from around the world, Liberation Park has taken a big new step. This undeveloped property is quite beautiful with woods, stream, fields, and critters (see images). Pending funds and other support, we will take our time to plan carefully, live simply, nurture the environment, and build appropriately. Our current plans include....
- hook up electricity (temporary installation completed)
- build storage shed (completed)
- build first cabin (multi-purpose) [foundation completed, images of progress]
- build two platforms & frames for tent cabins [completed]
- build outhouse for composting toilet [completed]
- plant inventory & ecological assessments [begun, on-going]
- sink well [completed September]
- install pump & basic plumbing [completed September]
- permanent electrical hookup [completed September]
- build barn for horse housing this winter [roughly completed November]
- finish multi-purpose cabin
- build deer fence for veggie garden
- dig & plant garden plots
- build outdoor cooking facility
- finish barn
- erect tipi and 3rd wall tent shelter
- build meditation platforms in the woods & along creek
- shower/utility building & kitchen
- six-eight hermitages
- meditation hall
- permanent alternative energy system - wind & solar
- orchard restoration
- prairie burns and continued environmental restoration
As above, all of these depend on support from benefactors: funds, materials, skills, labor. If you would like to sponsor or help with any of the above, please email dana@liberationpark.org.
