​​What is important to us

The essence of Postlip is its people and we believe that is our strength. We have spirit, but don't try to define us because we can't be pinned down.

We are diverse, and drawn to live here because we want to contribute to a community. We enjoy a communal living and sharing, but also enjoy privacy.

We are not bound by a single vision, but share a set of values.​

Friendship, extended family and a sense of belonging. 

Children and adults growing and developing together.

Tolerance, generosity and sharing.

Consensus decision-making - maintaining cooperation and community.

Resolving conflict with generosity.

Participating... even when the situation is uncomfortable.

Listening and embracing contributions from everyone.

Respecting differences and personal privacy.

Welcoming diversity and including everyone.

Caring for animals, gardens, buildings and the estate everyday. 

Sharing knowledge, skills and resources with each other and others.

Leaving Postlip a better place for future generations 

​Having fun - working, playing and living together; knowing there is always someone to “lift the other end”.
