Tribewanted was born as an online community of like-minded people looking to crowd-fund a real world sustainable community.
We explored ways to make the Tribewanted model sustainable, not only socially and environmentally, but also financially, to bring long-term benefits to our communities and to the local workers. We wanted to prove that a more sustainable model is not only possible but desirable.
In order to increase the appeal of our locations, and in order to show that it is possible to live sustainably also in our own backyard, we have launched an ambitious project: transforming the XVth century hamlet of Monestevole, in Umbria, Italy, into a sustainable community.
The goal is to give our members a more accessible location where they can learn about sustainability and get their hands dirty, while at the same time enjoying the traditional Umbrian cuisine and culture of farmers, horse-lovers, artisans and musicians.
The ethos of Tribewanted is to protect the local environment and promote the local culture, while we adapt the project to the local traditions.
Will the model work? Only time will tell. We aim high, and perhaps will only settle half way. But in the meantime, we are living how we want to live; when you love what you do, you don't work a day in your life. Join us. Lets build a tribe.
