Let’s build our capacity for flourishing.
Perhaps, the deepest truth is not what we see, but what we can imagine.
— Glennon Doyle
PHASE ONE:
Build a retreat center designed for healing & connection.
RETREAT CENTER
A synergistic handful of programs can work together toward mutual flourishing:
a safe house & care program for survivors of human trafficking
a holistic medical center
a wellness retreat space
an event venue
a regenerative construction facility
artists studios
PHASE TWO:
Over time, the place can grow into a full, walkable, community.
A Flourishing Community is designed to:
cultivate reciprocal connections · regenerate life · foster diversity & uniqueness · improve the ecosystem · require less infrastructure & transportation · trap carbon · increase resiliency through more decentralize resources · connect people with nature & natural exercise · build value for local communities · attract tourism · foster love & respect
What is flourishing?
What is Systemic Flourishing?
Our gnarliest problems like racism, climate change, poverty, most health problems, etc. can only be healed by redesigning the way we live top to bottom, systematically reconnecting us to ourselves, each other, & the natural world, one place at a time.
O N E of O N E C O L L E C T I V E is a nonprofit specializing in place-based healing & systemic flourishing.
We’re working together to redesign the way we live with each other & the planet by building communities (like villages & towns) designed toward flourishing for all.
When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.
