You are also invited to join Sealand's aristocracy - at a price...
A reality stranger than fiction!
Back in the 1960s and 1970s many DiYers and self-builders looked to Shelter’s books from the USA for inspiration plus practical ideas. Many of the books and others have been updated and are still available, whilst original copies have achieved something of iconic status. Includes Lloyd Kahn’s blog…and videos. Includes new materials on tiny homes on the move.

Summerhill was founded in Dresden, Germany in 1921 by A.S. Neill.
To quote from the site: “Today many educationalists and families are becoming uneasy with this restrictive environment. They are beginning to look for alternative answers to mainstream schooling.
One of these answers is democratic or 'free' schooling. There are many models of democratic schools in all corners of the globe, from Israel to Japan, from New Zealand and Thailand to the United States.
The oldest and most famous of these schools is Summerhill, on the east coast of England.”
It is also the hub site for: Terra Nova and the Global Campus. The Global Campus training is designed to support the base stations in questions of food self-sufficiency, energy autonomy, water management, community building and the study of peace knowledge.
The website describes it as: “Tamera is a School and Research Station for Realistic Utopia
The project was founded in Germany in 1978. In 1995 it moved to southern Portugal. Today 170 people live and work on a property of 330 acres.
The founding thought was to develop a non-violent life model for cooperation between human being, animal and nature.”
