The 4 Key Elements of Life Showcased at the GoE

Our ecovillage exists to inspire with possibilities. Every aspect of life here is re-imagined to be more sustainable, in support of a happier, healthier community, and planet; we create the world we want! 

The 4 Key Elements of Life Showcased at the GoE:

1. Food Production

Food is essential for life, and the only way to be truly secure and self-existing is to have secure and reliable food resources. We grow fruits, veggies, and herbs in our football-field sized garden, and much of our small 3.5 acre property is dedicated to cultivating native, wild-crafted edible and medicinal plants that require little to no maintenance.  We also raise chickens, bunnies, and goats that not only provide us food, but they consume unwanted bugs and weeds!

2. Ethical Merchantry

Today’s money-centered, consumer culture can make it difficult to see just how easy and abundant life really is. At the GoE, we prove that it is easy to make a living by providing and sourcing essentials for yourself as well as trading services and goods. We are not a business (we are a non-profit organization and a private club), nor do we sell items in a commercial capacity. We simply trade valuable services and resources of great health and beauty. Because it is easy and convenient for many, they simply donate money as the contributory trade, while others trade their own goods or services. What is important is that a valuable exchange is taking place directly between all parties involved, and we honor this transaction.  We are 100% dedicated to PROCEEDS NOT PROFITS; everything we offer is by donation to our humanitarian works and social outreach. ALL of our resources are devoted to our cause. We do not participate in ANY systems of taxation, because that supports the global military-industrial complex and furthers the interest of the global elite slave masters.

3. Sustainable Homes

Quinn (@quinneaker) is a master of alchemizing trash to treasure (or “shit to gold”, as we say). His resourcefulness extends to the spectrum of sustainable housing options represented at the GoE, from a geodesic dome, to tents and trailers, to pallet structures for our animals, to a cob cottage, to a buried underground Surburban home lovingly dubbed the “Earth Womb”.  

4. Living in Community

We're unwaveringly focused on our values of sustainability, honesty, integrity, honor, responsibility, accountability, freedom, and family. The shared importance of these core aspects of being allows us to live as a unit, participating as individuals, yet working with parallel purpose and mutually beneficial inspiration.

The Garden of Eden is the first established model of Quinn's vision of thriving eco-villages that we plan to expand throughout the world, providing sustainable solutions for food production, housing, commerce, and community to many joyful and grateful people. 

Here, we are creating an evolving model for sustainable, responsible, enjoyable living that encompasses all the necessities of life, and many of the niceties too! 

Based on this model, the Garden of Eden can be recreated and adapted for the many different environments and cultures that exist all around the world.  

The widespread and global rise of sustainable eco-villages has the potential to usher in an entirely New Paradigm of living, where humans are THRIVING in harmony with nature and one another.   

Yet this reality shall exist only when we as INDIVIDUALS, en masse, are ready and willing to take full responsibility for aligning with such a reality at the depths of our very being. 

That means truly loving ourselves, truly loving our planet, and truly loving one another.

From that place of true love, all decisions made will be made for the benefit of all.  

THE REVOLUTION BEGINS WITHIN.
