I've long appreciated this website. You can find communities around the world, and they offer trainings and workshops (sometimes free). https://www.ic.org/

I've dreamt of a "clinic" on the land that would be a space for healing modalities of all types, and perhaps even some basic first-aid supports of the more medical mainstream. With my background in particular, I love the idea of providing services there to the greater Diamante Valley in regard to pregnancy, family planning, childbirth, lactation, and development of young children. This is a very far-reaching portion of the vision, but what if we even were to create a space where residents and local neighbors may come to deliver their babies, such as a birth pool? Obviously there would be safety and liability considerations, as well as much research about what the local needs/desires are (may not be a service that is relevant to locals ... I'm not familiar with birth practices in the area).

Thanks for the detailed ideas about the decision-making process. I would feel at ease about the 80-percent rule, and yet I don't feel that it should be a requirement that one be physically present to vote (this was mentioned as a possibility at a meeting). As long as you can be available during an online meeting, for example, votes could be cast that way. Perhaps it could be decided that if you live at Florestral for so many months per year, you get 1.5 votes where more of a sometimes-visiting resident gets one whole vote. But I do think that if you own a lot, you should at least have one vote in community decisions. Another thing to consider is whether the votes are per household or per individual; for example, in the cases where a couple may have purchased a lot. Do they each get a vote, or is it one vote for the partnership? This may seem nitpicky, but I do think it's necessary in getting at an accurate 80%.

Hola! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not able to view your presentation, Tika Puka.
