Note how quickly the leaders of this group figured out that it would be of tactical value to appear to be 'Green' and into ecovillage, after years of annoying the neighbors and messing up the local landcape by building in concrete.
Anything fashionable, whether its being Green or 'sustainable' or yoga is just the thing that can be exploited.
Always fact check.
It is vital to have hope and ideals. But remember, your ideals are precious and bring you not only energy, but make you vulnerable as falling in love does.
Is a group leader someone who sees you as a person?
Or sees you as a mere energy donor.
Fact check. Find out whether anyone left that group and why.
Just the way we are advised to find out if someone we want to date long term is OK or is hiding that they have a dangerous background.

I was told it was not easy to become a Damanhurian and that of course made me all the more determined. I was told that Damanhur was very selective and that made my intention even stronger. I was eager to please eager to be accepted and I completely ignored all the warning signs (that are only to clear to me now), in my desperate desire to become a member of Damanhur’s chosen elite.
Always fact check to make sure a group or leader is a worthy custodian of this precious and vulnerable aspect of yourself.
And..groups and leaders change over time, so continue to fact check even after joining what seems to be a great project.
