100 years of healing and regeneration starts somewhere. We believe the most successful strategy will include specific and Highest Good of All approaches to food, energy, housing, education, economics, fulfilled living, and earth stewardship components. With this in mind, we are creating open source tools, tutorials, resources, and blueprints covering all of these areas.

One Community is building the foundation for 100 years of healing and regeneration through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students:
This last week the core team finished all the image research and remaining 50% of the “Human Body” lesson plan mindmap you see here:
Behind the scenes we also completed another 40% of the “Human Body” lesson plan design itself – bringing us to 90% complete there.
Behind the scenes we also finished brainstorming and design of the green and yellow sections of the upcoming Technology and Innovation Molecule – this brings us to 60% complete there.
One Community is building the foundation for 100 years of healing and regeneration through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:
This last week the core team researched and added two resources sections to the open source eggplant hub, the open source alliums hub, and the open source cucumbers hub.
One Community is building the foundation for 100 years of healing and regeneration through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:
This last week the core team continued laying out the specifics for the Open Source Murphy bed furniture assembly details. You can see the most recent behind-the-scenes image of this work in progress here. We estimate we are now 20% complete with what is needed for the website.
Also behind the scenes we finished another 15% of the earthdome window and door framing reformatting details needed before moving these specifics to the website. This brings us to 25% complete with this work. Both the Murphy bed furniture and earthdome window and door framing details are part of the upcoming crowdfunding campaign.
Also for that campaign, we completed website addition of the total video outline specifics for the Earthbag and Aircrete Dome Finishing, Water Proofing, and Interior Finish section of the site.
In addition to this, Samuel Soroaster (Permaculturalist and sustainable designer from Green New World), created these design evolutions for updating 2 of the 4 toilet domes in the Earthbag Village. These updated designs incorporate increased water collection, reuse of greywater to flush the toilets, and provide an alternative to the vermiculture design we’ll use for the other two bathrooms.
One Community is building the foundation for 100 years of healing and regeneration through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:
This last week the core team completed 50% of the thermostatic shower valve and heat lamp energy and water savings calculations. Here is a picture of this work developing behind the scenes. What you see here will be used for both the Duplicable City Center and the Earthbag Village.
One Community is building the foundation for 100 years of healing and regeneration through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:
This last week the core team created new social media imagery and updated and featured our Teaching Strategies page that is an open source education resource of strategies drawn from Montessori, Waldorf, Orff, Reggio, Multi-Intelligences, and more. We also did this for our Freedom as a core value page sharing how we use this value in our decision making process and strategy for global change. And we did this for our New Life in a New World page that presents a succinct overview of our global transformation approach.
We also created version 1.0 of the page we’ll be using to promote TsÃ…« and our reasons for supporting this new social network.
And we created version 1.0 of the page promoting GoodShop and how people can use their usual shopping and internet search habits to raise money for our non-profit (and others) at no cost to them.
Behind the scenes, Irfan Saeed helped us with research into the specifics of the legal landscape for open sourcing sustainable building methods.
One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together. We are creating a space that helps each other live in integrity with each other and the planet as we strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves. We do this by harmoniously respecting each other, nature, and the rest of our one shared planet.
Our goal is to demonstrate what we feel is the most sustainable, healthy, and fun environment we can create. A place based on compassion, kindness, and collaboration. This replicable community will serve as an example for what is possible.
Throughout our design process we are open sourcing and free-sharing everything needed for construction and replication. This includes what we call “Highest Good” approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economics design, social architecture, fulfilled living, stewardship practices and more. We are creating these resources for implementation as individual components or complete developments called teacher/demonstration hubs. These hubs will help launch additional hubs as awareness and knowledge grow.
The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating a sustainable planet within 30 years. We will achieve this by establishing successful teacher/demonstration hubs on every continent. Villages include designs appropriate for each of the five main types of climates. They also include options for even the most challenged economies. These hubs will collaborate with one another, share ideas, resources, and work together as a network to heal the planet through 100 years of healing and regeneration. They will also transform the global lifestyle to a more enjoyable, fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable one.
The specifics of how One Community is accomplishing this can be found on the One Community Solution Model to Create Solution-creating Models Page. Research supporting and showing the benefits of a model like this can be found on our Research and Resources Articles Archive.
Even if we don’t achieve our ultimate goal of global transformation, a self-replicating teacher/demonstration model like this will take a relatively short period of time to positively affect millions while inspiring millions more. For One Community residents (the Pioneer Team), the idea of creating and sharing the social and recreational experience with visitors is also fun, exciting, fulfilling, and an additional reason why we are creating this.
One Community’s four-phase strategy for the creation of solution models that create solution creating models uses open source blueprints for duplication that simultaneously address all aspects of the human experience (food, energy, housing, education, social inequality and injustice, fulfilled living, etc.) through 100 years of healing and regeneration. We see these areas as interdependent and requiring a comprehensive solution if humanity is to move ecologically, socially, economically, and permanently towards a truly sustainable future for everyone.
Our open source model and blueprints engage and inspire people while simultaneously making sustainable living more affordable and easy to replicate. By free-sharing the step-by-step plans people need for duplication, inviting people to participate, and demonstrating sustainable teacher/demonstration hubs as a more desirable way of living, the model will predictably expand on its own.
It is this approach we see uniting the world and leading to a new Golden Age for humanity. While we understand that not everyone believes this is even possible, we are nonetheless bringing together all those that do see this as possible as the non-profit think tank of forward-thinking individuals willing to design, build, and open source project-launch blueprint and free-share it for The Highest Good of All.
One Community is open source sharing an evolution of sustainable living that addresses the complete human experience. We are doing this because we see the solutions for global food, housing, energy, education, social inequality, ethical business practices, earth regenerative practices, and a desire for a more fulfilling living experience as inseparably interconnected. As a comprehensive solution, we are addressing all these areas simultaneously and open source free-sharing everything needed for individual duplication and/or duplication as complete self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world.
As we address and open source share these areas we will establish a living example of the first teacher/demonstration village purposed to teach others. To maximally facilitate duplication, One Community will provide seven duplicable examples and function indefinitely as a place people can visit and a non-profit and open source think tank continuing to further evolve and share solutions in all of the above areas and more. We will also provide hands-on experience and training. Most importantly, growing upon our sustainable foundation, we will endlessly make this comprehensive solution even more widely known and globally accessible, understandable and diversely duplicable, and inspiring and desirable as a model worth duplicating.
One Community sees the issues of the world as interdependent and interconnected. To address them simultaneously, we are open-source blueprinting a more advanced standard of living by designing holistic, environmentally-regenerative, self-sustaining, adaptable solutions for all areas of sustainability supporting 100 Years of healing and regeneration . We will model these within a comprehensive “village/city” which will be built in the southwestern U.S. This teacher/demonstration hub will be a place people can experience a new way of living and then replicate it with our open source blueprints: creating a model solution that creates additional solution-creating models.
