We're not here to fix tonight. We're here to change a life.

Phase 1 — raising the funds to break ground.

Rent takes a family's money and gives back nothing but another month. We build homes designed so the cost of living in them drops to near nothing — and so the family, not a landlord, holds what the home is worth.

• Solar power on every roof — electricity costs cut to a fraction, permanently.
• Biodigesters that turn household waste into cooking and heating gas.
• Natural, breathable building materials — allergy-free, mold and termite resistant, hurricane-flexible, and gaining strength for hundreds of years.
• Priority for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness under McKinney-Vento, survivors fleeing domestic violence or trafficking, and veterans.

Not open yet — we're building it now.

Housing solves where someone sleeps. It doesn't touch what keeps them up. The Healing Center is where the other half of the work will happen — outdoors, on the water, with your hands in the soil. It's a retreat, and it's meant to feel like one.

What the grounds will offer:

• Fishing — quiet water, a rod, and the patience it takes to use one. Instruction for anyone who's never held one.
• Wild mushroom foraging — identification, safe harvest, and cultivation taught as a real, keepable skill.
• PlantWave experiences — hearing the living electrical rhythms of the forest turned into sound, for grounding and stress relief.
• Campground stays for veterans, families in transition, and youth groups — quiet, dark skies, and time.
• Growing and stewardship — the practical end of food independence, taught on the same ground we build on.

We are not taking bookings yet. When the grounds open, stays will be booked by the visit and priced far below what a retreat like this costs anywhere else — with a start date and an end date on every stay. Nothing here is free, and that's on purpose: you come to reset, then go home steadier than you arrived.

Help us open the gates

Good farming knowledge doesn't stay put on its own — it has to be carried. This program builds the platform for growers in one community to learn what's working in another, then bring it home and put it in the ground.

• Shared practice — participants learn sustainable methods and innovations from growers in other regions and climates.
• Applied at home — every exchange ends with the participant putting the method to work in their own community.
• Cultural ties that hold — carrying out our chartered purpose of building friendly, peaceful understanding between the United States and other nations.
• Food independence — the long game: communities that feed themselves and sell the surplus.
