MUTUAL AID PROGRAM
Through weekly Wellness Support Days, one of our primary focuses is recreational health, through activities that empower balance, health, and wellbeing for all. We provide a consistent flow of fresh fruits and vegetables, with some unique shares that include meat, cheese, eggs, flowers, and homemade products such as baked goods, condiments, or even entire meal -kits. The initial project is beginning in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for individuals, or families, with a particular focus on fitness, nutrition, and overall well-being.
RESIDENTIAL TRAINING PROGRAM
Providing space for entrepreneurs and artists to conveniently and comfortably collaborate while birthing their business or completing new projects. There will be a space dedicated to group working, open desks, a meeting room, library, and a fully stocked kitchen (with free beverages and refreshments). There will be technology center and recording studio equipment available for member use, as well as recreational space. There will also be a few single rooms, as well as dormitory-style rooms available for members to rent on a short-term basis. Very high-speed internet is essential, as the technology center will include services like Virtual Reality, online learning, and 3D printing.
SUSTAINABILITY EXPERIENCE CAMPUSES
There will be land available in various places in the United States, and abroad, where participants can learn about sustainable agricultural business models, growing their own foods, nature-based businesses, and hosting quarterly recreational health retreats. This program is housed within the Co-Living/Co-Working service. Artists and Innovators will apply to this program, and those selected will be required to complete a virtual course before gaining access to the shared residential space.
