The impetus for changing our name to Sympoetica was our development of a new concept for creating successful human communities, communities that are patterned after nature. Sympoetic communities use networks of interrelationships to solve problems and adapt to change just as nature's networks do.

The sympoetic community:

• Encourages civic engagement
• Strives to balance individual and community needs
• Embraces the diversity of life
• Recognizes the web of connections between humans and nature
• Fosters a healthy economy
• Honors natural and cultural heritage
• Values beauty and creativity
