Empowering Communities and Nurturing Sustainable Growth
Residency for Wisdom Keepers: Sharing Culture and Wisdom
We recognize the importance of preserving and honoring indigenous wisdom and culture. To that end, we offer affordable homes for indigenous individuals and facilitators to live and share their invaluable wisdom with our community. By creating a space where diverse cultures can come together, we foster understanding, appreciation, and mutual learning.
Healthy Food: Nourishing the Community
Access to healthy, organic food is a fundamental aspect of well-being. We believe that everyone should have access to nutritious meals, and we strive to make that a reality for locals. We grow fruits and vegetables on-site and donate a portion of our harvest to the community. By providing free access to fresh produce, we contribute to the overall health and vitality of the community.
Raise Wages: Empowering Local Workforce
We are dedicated to supporting the local economy and empowering individuals within the community. We offer above-average wages for maintenance, cleaning, construction, landscaping, and other roles. By 2026, our goal is to hire 50 local employees with fair wages, enabling them to support their families and contribute to the local economy. Additionally, we have community give-back programs in place to further support and uplift the local population. Our commitment to employee satisfaction and retention ensures a positive and nurturing work environment, fostering personal and professional growth.
Artisan Economy: Fostering Local Creativity
We recognize the talent and creativity of local artists and woodworkers. To support the local artisan economy, we provide dedicated spaces where artists can create their art and goods to be sold at our marketplace. By showcasing and promoting their work, we contribute to the economic growth of the community while preserving and celebrating local craftsmanship.
Regenerative Education: Building Sustainable Practices
Education is a powerful tool for transformation and positive change. We offer non-profit educational programs focused on regenerative building practices using local sustainable materials and permaculture principles. By providing knowledge and resources, we empower individuals to create sustainable, conscious businesses. Through these educational initiatives, we aim to foster a culture of regenerative practices that benefit both the environment and the local community.
