The Voluntaria Principles
​

The success of any community depends on the active involvement and commitment of each member. Elements we see as pivotal to the success of a community are: Interpersonal relational skills, communication skills, consensus, responsive feedback loops, equitable dispute resolution and an openness to consider and/or embrace innovative ideas. When done well they will solidify and bring the community together. When done poorly (or not at all) they will jeopardize the health and connection of the community. Here at Voluntaria we take all these elements very seriously.  

The implied promise is your life and the lives of others around you will markedly improve with the integration of the guidelines that follow.

​          Here are the ten Voluntaria principles we encourage everyone to aspire to.
                                                    ...voluntarily of course!

1. Be kind, compassionate and generous. Love yourself and others.
2. Be Free. Govern yourself. Do NOT rule over others. Do NOT let others rule you.
3. Have ALL transactions be voluntary. Respect property rights. Honor contracts you make.
4. Be integrous and communicate clearly.
5. Cultivate relationships and the practice of looking inward.
6. Abide by the Non Aggression Principle, Natural Law and Universal Law.
7. Work with and respect nature.
8. Continually work toward self-sufficiency and self-defense.
9. Teach sound principles & love the children. Recognize, address and resolve your traumas. 
10. Resolve disputes honorably.
