At the time of this writing, the project is in its conceptual stage, registering as a non-profit and working on content for its website. |

+ | The school will commit to two years training for a contribution fee of AU$10,000 for a 2-year term. The contribution fee is not refundable, but transferrable, and will be spent entirely for the purpose of covering for the costs of the courses, housing, materials, tools and food (i.e. non-profit). The school will begin operating shortly after there are at least 200 committed participants, and will aim for 200-250 participants for a 2-year term. The school will continue to operate for as long as there's sufficient participation, and in the event of closure, proceeds from sales of land and goods will be refunded to current participants evenly and proportional to unfulfilled term, and any excess donated to charity. | ||

The courses have a format that is coordinated and overseen by a team of course coordinators, and are designed for maximum safety and quality within the budget constraints. All courses are provided by the participants themselves, and it is mandatory that any participant provides active training in an area of their choice, at least two hours of duration and at least every second day, with the rest of the time spent resting, upskilling for their own course, taking other courses, or participating in communal general maintenance tasks. The purpose in every course is personal mastery, sharing knowledge, supporting others in their efforts to acquire skills, and collaborating with other trainers to deliver multiple benefits per course | |

The Minimalistic version is a low-tech, self-funded, hands-on and common-sense approach to the ideal RBEM, that can be implemented on new small-to-medium communities on a low-budget. The following are some key-points of MRBE: |
* No trade of goods and services, and no paid work: money serves no purpose within the community | * No trade of goods and services, and no paid work: money serves no purpose within the community | ||
