Red Rock Vision Opening

From red rock birth
southwest sky blue deeper
the longer you stare skyward
and desert solitude strength
spread out in red pink sandstone
brown green rivers flow in cycle
gushing falling giving
from dry lands
waiting hoping praying
for rain
We spoke to elders
And they:
Grandfather with quiet wit and solem peace
Grandmother with spinning stories and laughing memory
And they made us big pancake breakfast
to sustain us on our way.
When we hunger may we always be fed thus
with stories and smiles.

The crimson desert oasis lunch later
water spring pool Bat spirals
around humming dragonfly
Butterfly drinking deeply
May we pass through
these illusions of living and dying
with the grace of Butterfly
No fear of Metamorphisis

Vision Statement

To create a healthy community of diverse and socially conscious individuals in order to steward land through sustainable development and educate through practical application.







Mission Statement

To bring together a diverse group of dedicated individuals who are searching for healthy, socially conscious, and environmental alternatives to the mainstream unhealthy and fragmented social structure. We seek to draw people together who wish to pool financial and material resources, skills, sweat, and visions in an effort to create an intentionally formed community composed of a tight circle of family and friends. Stewardship of the land and sustainable development of the community’s property shall be at the forefront of all community visions and decisions. Children are a key community element as we create a caring and safe “village” setting for community members to raise children and outreach to local youth to help educate and inspire young people in the surrounding area. We will also work towards financial self-sustainability through the formation of a solid foundation for socially conscious small businesses related to healing, education, sustainable living, and sustainable agriculture.
