Our Philosophy
the five pillar of our community
Develop a holistic
education program
Our educational program focuses on personal and interpersonal development, human-nature interaction, teaching skills that are useful in desert and arid climates and places ecology at the forefront in what we do. Our key intention of focus relies on teaching people how to develop self-sufficiency in areas of health and wellbeing, food, water, land stewardship, and communal networks.
Develop economic
self-sufficiency
Personal and Community development lies at the core of our philosophy and has an important impact in how we orient our communal governance and leadership. It also functions at the core of providing a healthy environment for all of our community members and anyone who steps foot at soil to soul. Personal and Community development includes communal group activities, personal spiritual practices, and external community outreach.

Multi-purpose eco infrastructure & green energy
Our commitment to creating eco-infrastructure and green energy is based on the philosophy of giving back more to nature than we take and only using what we actually need. It includes a commitment to our long-term vision of creating a zero-waste space, in which our building materials and infrastructure is sustainable for generations to come.
It involves research and development of existing materials that are found in the natural desert environment and engaging in frugal innovation. This means recycling and upcycling existing materials to repurpose their lifecycle. It also includes observing nature's patterns so we can build smart designs inspired by nature.
Breaking the globalized supply chain structure, we teach ourselves, immediate and direct community members to become self-sufficient, therefore raising awareness about our cradle to grave impact, considering the whole product lifecycle.
Regenerating degraded local ecosystems as a global example
Through integrating our 5 core pillars we create a blueprint for other re-greening desert communities. We do this through creating strategic partnerships and alliances within eco-village networks and intentional communities, local and regional politics as well as global art and culture initiatives.
By creating legal, financial and bio-regional connections through partnerships, administrative and legal pathways we hope to facilitate the process for future projects.
