I am very grateful to you for giving us a chance to briefly introduce our unique, ambitious project.

The Nova Town Society is a registered charitable organization that seeks to build a unique futuristic community to explore and nurture new environmental, ethical, economic , and educational concepts and solutions.

Can our future be very different from today's reality, in the most wonderful ways? Can it be a future in which one celebrates his or her Personal Independence Day, every day; where the Golden Rule advises "Never treat others as you would like to be treated yourself - unless they agree to it first - because what "works" for you may be damaging for others"; and where the denizens of the small town in which one lives grow more beautiful and refined with age?

Would it be possible to begin building that future today? Would it be possible to begin building it without the need for argument with the established authorities, or bloody fights and wars?

Our Nova Society has formed to bring its unique goal of building a small, futuristic anti-Metropolis, "Nova Town", to reality. No longer can we afford to sit back and let our mindsets doom our future. We have to discover how to change our very mentality and lifestyle, by actually doing it.

Nova Town is being designed as a healthy collaboration of small, flexible, local systems that, unlike our gigantic modern technologies, are sustainable.

Our vast, contemporary systems force us to squeeze our feet into a pair of one-size-fits-all shoes, and our minds into conventional thinking. In this age of rapid communication, we can reach one another almost instantly, anywhere in the world. But for all that, we do not understand each other any better than millennia ago. We fight for our own point of view forgetting that every creature has its own truths stemming from its unique existence, and perception of that existence.

In spite of this fundamental law of nature, our manmade society assumes a fictional, collective prototype. It is a construction not geared for the good of the individual. Our minds become so occupied slaving for our brainless profit-driven systems that we no longer take time to contemplate who we really are and what we are physically and mentally consuming and becoming. It is time to honor the uniqueness of each mind and body, each person, by creating smaller systems and communities more adaptable to each of us, which will be able to provide healthier services for real people, not widgets conforming to an unnatural collective mould.

While encouraging our personal creative abilities, we need to learn the basic principals of communicating with each other and nature. We are all unique creatures and without our uniqueness we become nothing. We all belong to a mother nature that indulges our uniqueness.

Nova Town will reflect a truly original vision of what a small futuristic town can look and feel like. With its narrow streets, public walkways, and park-like atmosphere, the Town's environment will be that of an exciting, peaceful sanctuary where visitors of all kinds can contemplate themselves, others, and nature in more peaceful and creative ways.  The only time we can truly learn and understand is when we are able to compare.

Yours,

Melissa Henry, Creative Director
