Our Sustainable Community
"It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next
Buddha may take the form as a community - a community practicing understanding
and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. This may be the most
important thing we can do for the survival of the Earth."
- Thich Nhat Hanh

Our self-sustaining community provides the highest quality produce to the surrounding local areas, and on closer look, it is so much more, as it is a prototype of a self-sustaining community supporting our part of a whole resonating in harmony with all of Creation. Nature is the doorway of entrance, the gateway and straight path into a world of healing and a reality of harmonic unity with all existence for us to reclaim.
The community demonstrates a consciousness of love for all life and makes choices that are life-giving for everyone that include the Great Spirit of the Universe or the lifeforce all around us, as it takes all of us in a direction of health and wholeness and even peace on Earth. It is a cooperative venture between humankind and Mother Earth, creating a new way of living based on spiritual, social and ecological values, which are sustainable and support the life of the planet and all life everywhere.
There is a store and a restaurant on the property offering the vibrantly healthy products of the land. The Center For Living With Nature offers a community forum to teach classes on nature, host guest lecturers from around the world, and presents concerts and films about Mother Earth, sustainability, and peace. There will be student exchange programs and visitor lodging for those wishing to experience the community practicing sustainable farming methods for health, the local economy and the grand symphony of all life.
Through our self-sustaining prototype, the Center for Living with Nature demonstrates and leads all of us in the direction of understanding how our personal and unified actions that protect, nourish and honor the planet will assist us the most in terms of transforming our lives and society as a whole.
