As a living lab, we are aware of the structures and systems that have calcified our culture and live in the questions of how we can create transition pathways that create other possibilities in service to Life. The ways in which we do this are: 

Decommodifying Land
Placing land in trust and shifting from ownership to models of collective stewardship where we are entrusted with the care of land rather than entitled to it as property. 

Cultivating Resilience 
Integrating with the local community and creating bio-regional resiliency through active participation with our mutual-aid network, Fuerza De Amor. 

Regenerating Land
Growing food through community agricultural commons using regenerative and syntropic agriculture principles to grow food, improve the health of the soil and sequester carbon.

Emulating Nature
Implementing biomimetic and biophilic principles that emulate nature’s genius to create resilient living systems for food, water, waste and energy.

Redistributing Resources
Operating as a non-for-profit, community-run, cooperative with an economic model that redistributes resources.

Protecting Biodiversity
Protecting ecological and cultural biodiversity through creating biological corridors and being in solidarity with indigenous peoples and original wisdom keepers.
