“You never change something by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
 ― R. Buckminster Fuller

Hello, I am Muirén (she, her)
A 68-year-old, obsessively curious arbornaut, technomage, storyteller, musician, hacker, maker
🌹As an anti-technofeudal, eco-socialist, I advocate for a transitional co-operative capitalist, prefigurative community model that is self-supporting by its own efforts.

I’m working to form a community:🦉DomusVitrea🌳| NatureHouse & Observatory is a startup, 501(c)(3) Public Benefit Nonprofit for the Advancement of Scientific Discovery. Established as a multi-stakeholder, federated union of co-operatives, it focuses on engagement in ecocentric research, experimentation, and education.

The organization aims to advance interdisciplinary knowledge in natural sciences to research, reinvent, and implement practical, environmentally sustainable, remedial alternatives for critical infrastructure, services, and resources captured by so-called “free market” capitalist social-psychology and economics; offering accessible and scalable prefigurative solutions spanning individual, familial, and communal levels, ultimately serving as a public reservoir of knowledge shared through novel forms of communication by demonstration.

While organizing this community, I seek interim funding and contractual alliance with a fiscal sponsor, with all monies to be used exclusively for ongoing research, community organizing tools, financial planning and incorporation, including land acquisition, construction.

This residential research and learning community features a unique canopy-level arboreal observatory designed to support ecotourism, while on and below ground a mission of syntropic agroforestry, aquaponics, with tiny home-style domiciles, learning spaces, studios, makerspaces, fablab, and gardens ― a community built within a large glass house.

The selection of a rural or semi-rural, mixed-use zoned liminal space to regreen and rewild, more effectively making possible our mission to live, to learn, to make:🛖Residence, 🔬Research, 🎭Communications & Performing Arts Ecosystem.
