Radha studied Permaculture design and has been involved in the last 20 years with various communities and Eco-Villages in Australia, France and Italy. Especially she has helped develop what is called Master Units, meaning self sufficient projects, 100% off greed, using recycled materials for building, establishing abundant permaculture gardens, solar systems, Dams and irrigation systems, attracting many volunteers workers and travellers from all over the world. People also come to these safe zones to learn mind elevating and life changing art of Yoga and Meditation, and a balanced eco-spiritual life style.
Radha gives examples the 3 different types of Safe Zones:
1) Master Units, Communities or Eco-villages. Meaning self-sufficient safe zones, based on all-round service, that inspires and offers
a balanced, healthy and proactive lifestyle. They become a centre for the local community, and demonstrates new technologies for environmental sustainability while providing guidelines for communal living and spiritual elevation.
2) The second Safe Zone identified is the “Networking” among small rural residential projects mostly run by a family or few people. Weekly get together are organised, bringing together a whole valley or few valleys or few villages. They exchange produce with one another, ideas and innovations. They also help each other sharing working-bee days in each others properties, sharing skills, expertise, or machineries.
3) The last safe zones we identified are the Community Vegetable Gardens in Big Cities. This has been a phenomena of the last 10-20 years, taking over considerable amount of non utilised council land, abandoned land, sections of council parks, or abandoned farms and houses, that quickly get transformed from mere grass areas into beautiful productive zones, where people can meet, know each other, work together, enjoy support and sunshine, on top of friendship and fresh produce!!
