"Reconnecting people with their food, and re-teaching people how to grow their own food, has the potential to positively and permanently change the world.

Creating Utopia: Not Just a Fantasy Anymore : One Community

Creating Utopia: Not Just a Fantasy Anymore : One Community



"It is interesting to observe the stigma against mentioning utopia, or the creation of any utopian project, when war, destruction, and the newest multi-billion dollar casino are accepted as part of our current reality. The fact is, however, that amazing things are being created and for any utopian vision to happen, all it needs is to be something that is accessible to everyone and accomplishable with resources available to average people. A viable society or civilization such as this should address human needs from a perspective of fulfilled living as well as sustainable foodenergy, and construction practices to combine internal/emotional needs with external/survival needs and provide sustainability for the complete human experience structured for The Highest Good of All."

Spirituality

Spirituality



Some of the most common questions we get are about spirituality at One Community. Here's our (just updated) response:http://www.onecommunityglobal.org/spirituality/

"Spirituality for One Community is inclusive, non-ideological, and considered a personal choice and component of Personal Growth. In the broadest sense, and as a general organizational approach, we see life as a spiritual experience. The One Community lifestyle includes The Highest Good of All, personal growth, sharing everything we do, working together for positive global impact, and fulfilled living practices that include building things, creating things, playing music, making art, spending time with our friends and families, and the conscious practice of happiness. With this in mind, we see all aspects of living as spiritual practices that may or may not be chosen by individuals to be associated with a particular practice, religion, or belief system. We respect this choice and we also respect the choice not to participate in activities that conflict with personal beliefs."

Revenue Streams

Revenue Streams



"These concepts are based on the foundations of intelligent business in almost any industry: providing value, low cost to profit ratio, and a quality marketing engine. The successful (and growing) model to compare what we are creating with would be the affordable tourism industry. Affordable tourism continues to gain market share and sustainability as an industry and an interest continue to grow also. Visiting a property like One Community’s, an environment like One Community’s, and hands on experience with all of One Community’s open source blueprints and creations all add to our desirability and marketability. Further add to this that the entire “staff” of One Community are non-profit volunteer residents not doing a “job,” but rather operating the Highest Good society model that is the core of One Community, makes it a fun place to be and visit, and an exciting and world changing organization to maintain."
