The SolSeed Movement's Vision statement is currently under construction. We are using Creating a Life Together to form our statements.

Vision: Share future we want to create; shared image of what's possible. "Who, what and why" of our endeavor. Express in present tense, as if it were happening now. Example: A world that values the diversity of all life and provides for its sustainability by living in harmony with nature and spirit.

SolSeed's working vision statement: Life continues its upward spiral, spreading outward from Earth, seeding the Solar System and eventually the Galaxy with life. 

Mission, Purpose: Express the vision in concrete, physical terms. For example, a viison "a world wthere everyone ha adequate, healthy shelter" would go with a mission (a physical expression of this vision): "To build a model demonstration village using low-cost natural building materials, and through outreach programs teach our buildling methods, particularly in Third-world countries."

SolSeed's working mission statement: To live

So instead of using up Mother Earth's resources for the sake of fleeting human advantage, it's time to make her cause our own, the cause of life and evolution, so that one biosphere can become many and go on forever. It's time to become SolSeed. 


Values: Vision arises out of shared values. Examples: sustainability, fairness, indness, generosity, service, accessibility, thrift, adn conservation of resources.

Interests. Usually interests arise from values and can be expresed as goals. Example: "Interested" in compositing, b/c of a value of sustainability -- express this as a GOAL to build compost for future community garden.

Goals, objectives: Mildestones we commit ourselves to accomplish, short-term (months to a few years). 

Aspirations: Strong desires or ambitions for inspired, elevated goals (longer term).

Strategy: "How, where, when" -- budgets, cash flow projections, time lines.
