For the 10th birthday of Nowhere, the core principle have been upgrade to 10:
Self-expression
The freedom to be yourself
Be the person you are. Be the person you want to be. We respect and value you, and expect the same from you. You have the freedom to be yourself. Become who you are.Self-reliance
You are responsible for you, mentally and physically
From food and water to a hug or quiet, you need to take care of yourself in Nowhere’s challenging environment. Give yourself what you need – and ask others for help when you need it.No commerce
Forget about money – there’s nothing to buy
By removing commerce from our community, we create co-operation and participation. We plan ahead and work together. We live without money to remind us of what’s really important.Leave no trace
From dust to dust, we leave only footprints
We care for the environment, and we take care of our home. We clean up after ourselves; we leave nothing behind; we leave no trace we were there. From dust to dust, we leave only footprints.Participation
Get involved – Nowhere is what we make it
The more you do, the more you get back. When you join others in play and in work, you are part of Nowhere. Your contribution is more valuable than you realise.Inclusion
Everyone is welcome to be a Nobody
We welcome everyone for their unique contribution to our community. Include others as you want to be included, with respect, consideration and tolerance.Gifting
We give our time, effort and gifts freely
We give to help others and because it makes us feel good. From a cold beer to digging out a tent pole to a small badge, our gifts are from our heart.Co-operation
Together we are stronger
From how we work together to how we communicate, co-operation is at Nowhere’s core. If we can make life easier, we will. If we can make life better, we will. Together we are stronger.Community
A family of individuals, we look after each other
A family of individuals, we look after each other. A diverse group of separate self-reliant beings, we are united in our need to be part of something larger than ourselves. Community, others, self – united by tolerance and joy.Immediacy
Make now count
Be now here, be nowhere. Make now count. All this will soon be gone, so enjoy now. Experience, participate, be. This is all there is, so enjoy it!
