What we do

WE ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING MEMBERS DURING THIS UTTER INSANITY. WE’RE ENTERING A PERIOD WHERE MAKING THE LEAP TO COMMUNITY WILL BECOME MORE DIFFICULT. WE ARE CURRENTLY IN VIRGINIA. MEMBERSHIP IS EASY AND STRAIGHT-FORWARD. WHAT WE HOLD DEAR IS SIMPLE. IT IS EASY TO BECOME A PART AND TEST THE WATERS. FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS. :)

This community is a place for people to be real. A place to rediscover what the essence of being human is. We hold all life to be sacred and non-violence does not mean we just treat other humans well, but ALL other mammals, reptiles, fowl, and fish. You could call us “Circle-of-Life” vegans. Essentially, that means we do consume a limited amount of SOME animal products, but care for and give back to them as well. Think of ants farming aphids, or fungi bonding with the roots of various trees. It is time we acknowledge the capacity to love and communicate that resides in other living creatures and discover our place in the living world. Hence, you will not find the extreme vegan “spectator only” view practiced here. You like honey and bee pollen?… feel free to raise them or trade with someone who does. :) You like an occasional egg?… feel free to raise some chickens! They are great composters and wonderful companions! It is time we begin to reassume our lost, forgotten place in the circle of life as the species to bring understanding, harmony, peace, and love to all of Creation.

Our guidance comes from the Spirit of Love and Truth, which together infuse Mother Nature with abundant life. We do not discriminate against, race, age, gender, sexual preferences, etc. As a part of this community, members leave their religious, cultural predispositions, and traditions where they belong…. in the old, decaying fiction humanity as been tricked into living for millennia. Our one rule is the Golden Rule.

We plan to have viable businesses (seeds company, dried foods, and others) as a way to support the activities for which we would occasionally still need money as well as an natural therapies healing center that functions as an outreach and from which we do not generate a profit.

You may “rent-to-own” an acre, and build whatever you want on it (as long as it is with natural materials locally, or from the land itself), with a few common sense restrictions (ie, no clear cutting your entire acre for the wood– just ask for any details). That fee varies slightly but is either around $200 for 5 years, $100 for 10 years, or some other terms we all might be able to live with. We’re pretty flexible.

We grow our own food and plan to have several cottage industries working and of course provide all of our own power. We want to transition to a cleaner, saner, safer, more connected and aware, and a kinder world, so creative types in every field are welcome. We’ve all got our “rough edges”, but please… don’t be a total hair-trigger, emotional basket case. :D

Reconnecting with the living world, leaving behind technology and recognizing it for the negative influence (haven’t we seen enough with the Covid19 and 5G say, “Stop!”? There is a long list of pandemics that have come with each “leap in progress” over the last 100+ years.) it has been in its modern form, enjoying the journey of knowing oneself, and embracing the process of living in love and peace with other like-minded humans and the rest of the living world are our core values. Money is something we will strive to do away with as completely as possible because of what it represents…. feel free to as for details or clarification. :)

Our Vision

The idea is to return to our home and rightful place among the living world and community of Mother Nature.
