The resources and technology now exist to design a better world, a world that works for everyone. One Community is helping create this and this is our weekly progress update (#25) covering our development and accomplishments for the week of August 12, 2013.

The Zenapini’s are part of our food infrastructure and our open source botanical garden model. This is the planting map for everything we’ll grow in the Cloud Forest House.
The goal of the zenapini structures is to help promote and preserve biodiversity and to provide food and a beautiful place to visit and/or relax. Here is the planting map for everything we’ll grow in the Tropical Moist House:
Something we forgot to mention in the video update above is the redesign of the bathrooms and library in the SEGO Center Social Dome. Andrew Sadera (Architect Drafter and Designer) did the beautiful work needed for this streamlining and expansion of both the men’s and women’s bathroom and the library. Click the image for the overview page or go here for an image you can enlarge.
Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of Harris Design & Technology Services) has also begun adding the appliances into the 3D renderings of the Dining Dome of this structure. The Dining Dome will be the central eating facility for all of One Community and is designed to seat and feed over 150 people at a time.
This week friend of the project Devin Porter completed some additional updates to the Tropical Atrium designs including adding railings, expanding the storage area, and cross beams for the south-facing glazed roof.
One Community is creating a place to grow together and design a better 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 and design a better world.
One Community will be the first teacher/demonstration hub. It will function as an experiential learning model that facilitates mass participation to address humanity’s most pressing challenges through a replicable model for expansion, building seven self-sufficient village/city prototypes, becoming the world leader in open-source sustainability solutions, and evolving and expanding ALL aspects of sustainable living.
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 to design a better world. 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, and resources, and work together as a network to heal the planet and learn to design a better world. They will also transform the global lifestyle into 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 to design a better world and 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 to design a better world and the human experience (food, energy, housing, education, social inequality and injustice, fulfilled living, etc.). 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 to design a better world 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 who do see this as possible as the non-profit think tank of forward-thinking individuals willing to understand, design a better world and build an 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 and how to design a better world 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, design a better world, 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.
The more people that are inspired and desiring for themselves what it is that One Community creates, the more demand there will be for spreading the One Community model of how to design a better world. This leads to the directing of financial resources and resourceful people where we believe they are needed most: the establishment of additional sustainable communities around the world. We also feel this duplication will specifically happen quickly internationally due to the affordability of overseas land, less restrictive building environments, and the spirit of adventure in many people who really desire to make a difference for those who need it most.
To meet the increasing demand for sustainability that we are contributing to, we are coordinating with manufacturers, education institutions, individuals, and vendors. This is also part of this model to help the world and design a better world. Its purpose is to facilitate more engagement in the sustainability industry, produce the absolute best possible consumer value, and the most convenient delivery of goods and methodologies for building sustainable living communities and sustainable living components.
This means we not only provide education and increase needed sustainability resources, but we also address how to design a better world and the underlying roadblocks to a sustainable planet by decreasing the cost and simultaneously increasing the demand and generating financial support for global sustainability, philanthropy, and humanitarian movements and organizations.
As demand increases, so too will the ways to participate. Right now people are participating as consultants or partners donating time to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and others are more involved as Pioneers of the core team that will be moving to the property. We also have options for people to just follow our progress or participate through internet contribution.
Once the supportive physical infrastructure is about 30% developed, One Community will be ready to additionally expand what we offer to include scholarships, free weekend learning groups, core team members choosing to travel abroad to help others get established to design a better world too, handling the marketing for all similar models operating for The Highest Good of All, and hosting classes and other sponsored events to promote and demonstrate additional methodologies.
We also envision a high likelihood that our organization will become a trusted foundation for receiving donations, which will be used to help others establish this model of design a better world.
One Community is building solution-creating models designed to create additional solution-creating models to specifically facilitate exponential and sustainable global teacher/demonstration village growth. The following four phases of the strategy we are applying are designed to support each other and accelerate the process globally:
Phase I: Demonstrating a Better Way
We are designing One Community to demonstrate how to design a better world and an experience of living that we believe most people will consider to be better because it will teach them to design a better world and will be more enjoyable and fulfilling. We also think most people will consider it better because it makes it possible to design a better world, specifically through a foundation of sustainable sustainability and a philosophy that is for The Highest Good of All.
Phase II: Open Source Project-Launch Blueprinting
Everything we do we are open source project-launch blueprinting and free-sharing to make it as easy and affordable as possible to duplicate, adapt, and evolve in the manner that suits each individual and/or group’s needs. Free-sharing information like this is our aggressive exposure engine and an aspect of One Community that will accelerate indefinitely as we continue to build our team, move onto the property, and continuously build and evolve everything that is One Community.
Phase III: Inviting the World to Participate
Everything we are open source project-launch blueprinting is designed to invite the world to participate by duplicating it as either individual components or complete teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities that will be able to be built almost anywhere in the world. Additionally, people can join One Community as members, consultants and/or partners, or use the suggestions links on our open source project-launch blueprinting hubs to help with the design, implementation, and evolution process. Scholarships, weekend learning, work crews, and tourism will be the foundations of One Community once we have sufficient infrastructure in place to support these options.
Phase IV: Universal Appeal and Global Expansion
As One Community continues evolving and establishing itself, everything we create and promote will serve as the engine on how to design a better world and inspire people to align with the concept of open source and sustainable living for The Highest Good of All. We are doing this to understand how to design a better world and thus, create mainstream appeal and our path to achieving this appeal is demonstrating a happier, more affordable, and ecologically friendly model of living that can be built anywhere in the world.
Open source project-launch blueprinting it all is how we believe the model will spread and, possibly most importantly, that it will predictably spread even faster in the areas where it is needed most because building restrictions, the cost of land, and materials costs are in most cases lower in these areas.
We are creating everything One Community does as open-source and free-shared blueprints because we can design a better world and the path to a new Golden Age of creativity, innovation, cooperation, and collaboration for all of humanity. Our model is a solution model that creates additional solution creating models enabling people to live and collaborate globally for The Highest Good of All. The easier we make everything we do, the faster we see the world transitioning.
Every aspect of this model supports itself and contributes to its success, from the sustainable food, energy, and homes, to the social architecture, One Community Education Program, and open source sharing model itself. Each piece can be accessed, evolved, and even re-birthed as something completely new. It can be duplicated by itself or with other modules, with applications as diverse as the people who want and need them. The constantly expanding total model will additionally be able to be used in its entirety as the open source project-launch blueprint for a variety of duplicate teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities capable of being built virtually anywhere.
The most profound part is: the more we open source share, the more we help move everyone forward, the more people know how to design a better world and what we are doing and can participate, and the more successful and capable we are of project-launch blueprinting and sharing even more still. This is all supported and made possible because:
One Community’s open source strategy will evolve 5 primary types of open source content purposed to reach and service as broad an audience as possible. This includes the following mediums of sharing that are being developed to function as standalone resources or in combination with each other:
Maximum exposure is accomplished through simultaneous implementation of the following strategies:
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. 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 where people learn to design a better world and 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.

One Community is a Highest Good of All green living and design organization creating the open source and free-shared blueprints for sustainable and self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be build around the world. Our idea of sustainability goes beyond the basics of food, energy, and housing to also include education, Highest Good business, social architecture, and regenerative and stewardship practices. This is our weekly progress update (#24) covering our accomplishments for the week of August 5th, 2013.
Click on each icon to be taken to the corresponding Highest Good hub page.
This last week we completed the Large-scale Production Aquapini plant descriptions and food production projections supporting green living and design. We also completed Walipini #2’s apple details compliments of our partners at Century Farm Orchards. Here are just 4 of them to demonstrate the diversity that we will be growing:
The Ashmead Kernal apple is one of the most unusual of all apples because it is completely covered with a thick russet. The flavor, however, is shockingly sweet and acidic and has been described as “fireworks for the palate.” You’ll never find this apple in the grocery store though because of its appearance and the fact that the apples tend to be erratic in size and on the small side. It ripens late September into October.
The Black Oxford apple is a deep purple (almost black) apple that is excellent for eating, cooking, and making cider. The apple is slightly ribbed and classically shaped, round to conical. Its unbroken peel has a faint grassy smell. The flesh of Black Oxford is dense and light yellow, firm, and with flavors that are mild and sweet followed by a prominent grassy aftertaste from the peel, which is chewy.
Also called Albemarle Pippin or Yellow Newtown Pippin, this apple was planted by both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson at their respective estates. Green Newtown Pippin fruit is large, skin yellow with a pink blush, and the flesh is yellow, firm, crisp, juicy, and subacid. Fruit ripens in October, and it stores quite well, often improving in flavor upon storage. This apple tree needs a loamy, friable soil to produce a high quality crop.
Burford’s Red Flesh has beautiful red flesh inside and crimson skin covered with light russeting. One of the venerable Tom Burford’s discoveries, this tree produces fall foliage that is a glowing and awe-inspiring orange-red. The apples are medium sized, crisp, juicy, tart, and sweeten in storage. These apples are especially great for ciders and making lovely red/pink sauces and chutneys.
More than any other apple, most older southerners remember the Horse apple. The tree is healthy, grows rapidly, and produces large crops of big apples late July into August. Flesh is yellow, soft (sometimes firm), uniquely tart, and will disappoint those who like sweet or hard apples. Fruit size is medium to large, yellow when ripe, possibly red on the sunny side. This apple makes great cider and cooks well too.
This last week we also integrated the SEGO Center roof design Andrew Sadera (Architect Drafter and Designer) created for the cupola and we finished the redo of all the walls in the Living Dome. Here are images:

One Community Executive Director Jae Sabol was just featured in a live interview on The House of Hidalgo Show. Topics of discussion included recent progress, an overview of our purpose, earthbag village details, straw bale village details, social architecture and fulfilled living, the SEGO Center Duplicable City Hub, open source creation, operating an efficiency model, the Education for Life program, open source business creation, how it’s all already happening around the world, and more.

One Community believes the designs of the future will be more cost-effective, last longer, and be built from resources that are readily available. We are operating a non-profit and for The Highest Good of All sustainability think tank to demonstrate and build 7 different communal living mini-village models to demonstrate this. They will each contain 15-100 residences and function as examples and prototypes for self-sufficient and duplicable teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities to be built around the world.
Our open source creation includes the Highest Good food, energy, and housing, the Highest Good for-profit and non-profit business models, an education model, a Highest Good society model, resource-based economy implementation, and more. Most importantly, it is designed to provide a standard of living and experience of life itself that we feel most will consider far superior to what they are experiencing now. Here is our progress update (#23) covering our accomplishments for the week of July 29th, 2013.

The zen aquapini (zenapini) designs will represent two very different internal environments. Zenapini #1 will be the Cloud Forest House. This ecosystem is characterized by high humidity (50-80%) and cooler temperatures than tropical regions (55-80 degrees F). This week we completed the selection and mapping of all the plants that will be added to this structure. We’ll add these plants to the designs of the future here and update the design drawing over the next couple of weeks.
The earthbag architecture village (Pod 1) is the first of the seven different sustainable village models in the designs of the future to be built because we believe it will be the most affordable and easy to duplicate. Its purpose from a future design perspective is maximally affordable housing. This week we’ve finished up to about the 2/3rds point for the cost analysis details that we will be posting on the Earthbag Village Materials Costs Page as soon as they are complete and we’ve double-checked all the details.
The straw bale construction village (Pod 2) is a teacher/demonstration community, village, and city model purposed for open source project-launch blueprinting and building modularly expandable sustainable housing designs for the future. One Community will begin building this village as soon as the earthbag village (Pod 1) is complete and we just brought on a partner (details coming soon) that has begun working on putting this village into 3D for us.
We’ve completed the first renderings of the designs of the future, Earthbag Village natural greywater processing system. A complete page dedicated to the evolving details of these designs is coming this week.
Here’s the updated SEGO Center 3D progress for designs of the future as discussed in the video.

This means we not only provide education and increase needed sustainability resources, but we also address the underlying roadblocks to designs of the future by decreasing the cost and simultaneously increasing the demand and generating financial support for global sustainability, philanthropy, and humanitarian movements and organizations.
As demand increases, so too will the ways to participate in designs of the future. Right now people are participating as consultants or partners donating time to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and others are more involved as Pioneers of the core team that will be moving to the property. We also have options for people to just follow our progress or participate through internet contribution.
Once the supportive physical infrastructure is about 30% developed, One Community will be ready to additionally expand what we offer to include scholarships, free weekend learning groups, core team members choosing to travel abroad to help others get established too, handling the marketing for all similar models operating for The Highest Good of All, and hosting classes and other sponsored events to promote and demonstrate additional methodologies.
We also imagine the high likelihood that our organization will become a foundation that can be trusted as the donation point for the distribution of monies to help others establish this model of designs of the future.
One Community is building solution-creating models, designs of the future designed to create additional solution-creating models to specifically facilitate exponential and sustainable global teacher/demonstration village growth. The following four phases of the strategy we are applying are designed to support each other and accelerate the process globally:
Phase I: Demonstrating a Better Way
We are designing One Community to demonstrate an experience of living in designs of the future that we believe most people will consider to be better because it will be more enjoyable and fulfilling. We also think most people will consider it better because it is made possible specifically through a foundation of sustainable sustainability and a philosophy that is for The Highest Good of All.
Phase II: Open Source Project-Launch Blueprinting
Everything we do we are open source project-launch blueprinting and free-sharing to make it as easy and affordable as possible to duplicate, adapt, and evolve in the manner that suits each individual and/or group’s needs. Free-sharing information like this is our aggressive-exposure engine and an aspect of One Community that will accelerate indefinitely as we continue to build our team, move onto the property, and continuously build and evolve everything that is One Community.
Phase III: Inviting the World to Participate
Everything we are open source project-launch blueprinting is designed to invite the world to participate by duplicating it as either individual components or complete teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities that will be able to be built almost anywhere in the world. Additionally, people can join One Community as members, consultants and/or partners, or use the suggestions links on our open source project-launch blueprinting hubs to help with the design, implementation, and evolution process. Scholarships, weekend learning and work crews, and tourism will be the foundations of One Community once we have sufficient infrastructure in place to support these options.
Phase IV: Universal Appeal and Global Expansion
As One Community continues evolving and establishing itself, everything we create and promote will serve as the engine to inspire people to align with the concept of open source and sustainable living for The Highest Good of All in designs of the future. We are doing this to create mainstream appeal and our path to achieving this appeal is demonstrating a happier, more affordable, and ecologically friendly model of living that can be built anywhere in the world.
Open source project-launch blueprinting it all is how we believe the model will spread and, possibly most importantly, that it will predictably spread even faster in the areas where it is needed most because building restrictions, the cost of land, and materials costs are in most cases lower in these areas.
We are creating everything One Community does as open-source and free-shared blueprints because we see this as the path to a new Golden Age of creativity, innovation, cooperation, and collaboration for all of humanity. Our model is a solution model that creates additional solution creating models enabling people to live and collaborate globally for The Highest Good of All. The easier we make everything we do, the faster we see the world transitioning.
Every aspect of the designs of the future model supports itself and contributes to its success, from sustainable food, energy, and homes, to the social architecture, One Community Education Program, and open source sharing model itself. Each piece can be accessed, evolved, and even re-birthed as something completely new. It can be duplicated by itself or with other modules, with applications as diverse as the people who want and need them. The constantly expanding total model will additionally be able to be used in its entirety as the open-source project-launch blueprint for a variety of duplicate teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities capable of being built virtually anywhere.
The most profound part is: that the more we open source share, the more we help move everyone forward, the more people know about what we are doing and can participate, and the more successful and capable we are of project-launch blueprinting and sharing even more still. This is all supported and made possible because:
One Community’s open source strategy will evolve 5 primary types of open source content purposed to reach and service as broad an audience as possible. This includes the following mediums of sharing that are being developed to function as standalone resources or in combination with each other:
Maximum exposure is accomplished through simultaneous implementation of the following strategies:
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. 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 where people can experience a new way of living and then replicate it with our open source blueprints: creating designs of the future, a model solution that creates additional solution-creating models.

One Community is seeking help to finish/finalize our designs for the best possible open source natural swimming pool that will be part of the SEGO Center Duplicable City Center. Benefits for the person helping us will be in the form of promotion, referrals, and contributing to something globally transformational. Our goal with this pool creation is to increase public interest and awareness of the benefits of a natural pool while proving its efficacy and safety so counties everywhere can more easily adopt and endorse similar chemical-free systems.
PARTNERING WITH ONE COMMUNITY | SEGO CENTER CITY HUB OVERVIEW
The person choosing to help us will be working most closely with One Community partners and designers of the system to this point: Meg West (Landscape Architect, Permaculturalist, and founder of Meg West Design) and Jennifer Engelmeier (Eco-pool and Spa Specialist and founder of www.LoveYourPool.com). Here is Meg’s initial rendering of what we will be building:
Initial Artistic Rendering of the SEGO Center Natural Pool and Regeneration Zone
Here is the narration of the workings of the proposed system:
The system consists of two separate water bodies: a pond/regeneration zone and a swim zone. These two bodies of water are linked by a circular pumping system that cleans the water without any synthetic chemicals. This is accomplished through an Ozone + UV Sanitation System combined with oxygenation. Water exits the swim zone (swimming pool) through skimmers and is pumped underground through the Ozone + UV Sanitation System which kills viruses, bacteria, breaks down oils and other organics, help prevent TDS buildup, and keeps algae growth down. The water then enters the regeneration pond through a flow form, which oxygenates that water and increases healthy biological activity. In the regeneration zone, which is only 18″ deep, water plants biologically filter the water, which is then pumped through a sand and gravel filter and returned to the swim zone via another oxygenating flow form.
Here is what this now looks like in CAD:

We are capable of building a new world, a world that works for everyone. In our opinion, this requires a comprehensive readdressing of the foundations of how we live and what is possible. As a non-profit organization purposed to create global transformation through sustainable teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities, we are starting with housing, energy, food, education, social architecture, business, and a culture for The Highest Good of All. The new world we wish to help people build is comprehensively sustainable, open source, cooperative, collaborative, and populated with people having a more enriching and fulfilling living experience. This is our weekly progress update (#22) covering our accomplishments for the week of July 22nd, 2013.
Click on each icon to be taken to the corresponding Highest Good hub page.
We want to help build a new world with fresher, healthier, and more diverse food using an open source botanical garden model. This week we completed all three Walipini planting maps add them to the website along with the complete plant lists for each of these food production houses. Here are the links to jump directly to these details for each house:
Here is the Walipini #1 map that was just completed to finish the set of three:
Doug Stenhouse (Architect and Water Color Artist) also completed a cross-section rendering of Walipini #2 for us. Here it is:
The Tropical Atrium 3D rendering progressed significantly this last week thanks to friend of the project Devin Porter’s amazing work. This center of the earthbag village now has an additional patio area and north-entry access to the tops of the trees we will be growing in this structure. We’ll also be adding additional storage space under the patio.
This week our team also finished final editing of the first 40 plants (of 60 total) in this structure. We will be updating the Tropical Atrium Planting and Harvesting Page with this information over the next couple weeks.
We are designing open source blueprints to build a new world with DIY sustainable infrastructure. This week we finished the first 1/2 of the earthbag village materials cost analysis. Once it is complete we will be adding those details to the Earthbag Village Materials Costs Page. An example of the level of detail we are researching can be found on our Earthbag Village Tools and Equipment Analysis Page.
One Community is creating a place to grow together and building a new 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 building a new world of 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 on building a new world.
One Community will be the first teacher/demonstration hub. It will function as an experiential-learning model that facilitates mass participation to address humanity’s most pressing challenges through: A replicable model for expansion, building seven self-sufficient village/city prototypes, becoming the world leader in open-source sustainability solutions, and evolving and expanding ALL aspects of sustainable living.
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 building a new world. 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 and learn building a new world. 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 building a new world and 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 building a new world and the human experience (food, energy, housing, education, social inequality and injustice, fulfilled living, etc.). 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 for building a new world 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 understand building a new world and 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 and building a new world 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, building a new world, and more. We will also provide hands-on experience and training on building a new world. 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.
The more people that are inspired and desiring for themselves what it is that One Community creates, the more demand there will be for spreading the One Community model of building a new world. This leads to the directing of financial resources and resourceful people where we believe they are needed most: the establishment of additional sustainable communities around the world. We also feel this duplication will specifically happen quickly internationally due to the affordability of overseas land, less restrictive building environments, and the spirit of adventure in many people who really desire to make a difference for those who need it most.
To meet the increasing demand for sustainability that we are contributing to, we are coordinating with manufacturers, education institutions, individuals, and vendors. This is also part of this model to help building a new world. Its purpose is to facilitate more engagement in the sustainability industry, produce the absolute best possible consumer value, and the most convenient delivery of goods and methodologies for building sustainable living communities and sustainable living components.
This means we not only provide education and increase needed sustainability resources, but we also address building a new world and the underlying roadblocks to a sustainable planet by decreasing the cost and simultaneously increasing the demand and generating financial support for global sustainability, philanthropy, and humanitarian movements and organizations.
As demand increases, so too will the ways to participate. Right now people are participating as consultants or partners donating time to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and others are more involved as Pioneers of the core team that will be moving to the property. We also have options for people to just follow our progress or participate through internet contribution.

One Community is happy to announce our newest partners at Century Farm Orchards. Century Farm Orchards is a small, century-long (thus the name) family owned and operated nursery specializing in old southern apples. Helping to preserve apples that were once widely grown in the United States from the 1600′s to the early 1900′s, David’s farm now offers many apples that cannot be purchased anywhere else in the world. More specifically, Century Farm Orchards is one of only two recipients of the Lee Calhoun apple collection of rare heirloom apples. The Calhoun apples offer a tremendous variety in taste, texture, and use that is no longer available in most stores and One Community is excited to partner with Century Farm Orchards as the provider of all of the apple trees that we will be growing in Walipini 2 as part of our Phase I food infrastructure and botanical garden model. Their focus is on quality over quantity and we are extremely happy to collaborate with and support Century Farm Orchards and the Calhoun apple legacy by doing our part to enhance public awareness, knowledge, and propagation of the amazing heirloom apple trees Century Farm Orchards provide.

One Community is a solution creating a solution purposed to duplicate itself. The solution we are creating is a model for how to create a better world. By now most people know that the necessary resources and technology exist to feed, house, and provide energy for every person on Earth. These solutions, however, are currently not available to most people.
To solve this problem we are building the first of a global collaborative of self-sufficient teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities that will provide a path to put the necessary technology and resources where they are needed most.
Models such as this that provide a more appealing and affordable lifestyle have the potential to gain mainstream interest and support and become self-replicating, multiplying exponentially and transforming life on this planet as we know it. This is our weekly progress update (#21) covering our accomplishments for the week of July 15, 2013.

We think sustainable housing is one way to help create a better world. This week we finished our vermiculture and shower design page!
We’ve finished the Walipini #2 – Borderline Subtropical House planting and harvesting map and added everything we will be growing in this house to the Planting and Harvesting page. We also created the relationship we need for maximum apple tree diversity thanks to our partnership with David at Century Farm Orchards. Here is the newly completed Walipini #2 planting map:
We updated the three pages most relevant to our strategy for helping people understand and participate in how to create a better world for everyone. Those three updated pages are:
We were on the radio sharing the details of what would change and how to create a better world for The Highest Good of All looks like and involves. Here is the link to the blog on that show: One Community in the Media
We completed the final remaining section (Knowledge and Wisdom) of the Curriculum for Life component of the One Community Education for Life program. Here are all the completed curriculum components:
One Community is creating a place to grow together and how to create a better 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.

One Community is open source sharing an evolution of sustainable living and how to create a better world 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 meet the increasing demand for sustainability that we are contributing to, we are coordinating with manufacturers, education institutions, individuals, and vendors. This model also aims to help the world and how to create a better world. Its purpose is to facilitate more engagement in the sustainability industry, produce the absolute best possible consumer value, and the most convenient delivery of goods and methodologies for building sustainable living communities and sustainable living components.
This means we not only provide education and increase needed sustainability resources, but we also address how to create a better world and the underlying roadblocks to a sustainable planet by decreasing the cost and simultaneously increasing the demand and generating financial support for global sustainability, philanthropy, and humanitarian movements and organizations.
As demand increases, so too will the ways to participate. Right now people are participating as consultants or partners donating time to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and others are more involved as Pioneers of the core team that will be moving to the property. We also have options for people to just follow our progress or participate through internet contribution.
Once the supportive physical infrastructure is about 30% developed, One Community will be ready to additionally expand what we offer to include scholarships, free weekend learning groups, core team members choosing to travel abroad to help others get established on how to create a better world too, handling the marketing for all similar models operating for The Highest Good of All, and hosting classes and other sponsored events to promote and demonstrate additional methodologies.
We also imagine the high likelihood that our organization will become a foundation that can be trusted as the donation point for the distribution of monies to help others establish this model of how to create a better world.
One Community is building solution-creating models designed to create additional solution-creating models to specifically facilitate exponential and sustainable global teacher/demonstration village growth. The following four phases of the strategy we are applying are designed to support each other and accelerate the process globally:
Phase I: Demonstrating a Better Way
We are designing One Community to demonstrate how to create a better world and an experience of living that we believe most people will consider to be better because it will teach them how to create a better world and will be more enjoyable and fulfilling. We also think most people will consider it better because it makes how to create a better world possible specifically through a foundation of sustainable sustainability and a philosophy that is for The Highest Good of All.
Phase II: Open Source Project-Launch Blueprinting
Everything we do we are open source project-launch blueprinting and free-sharing to make it as easy and affordable as possible to duplicate, adapt, and evolve in the manner that suits each individual and/or group’s needs. Free-sharing information like this is our aggressive exposure engine and an aspect of One Community that will accelerate indefinitely as we continue to build our team, move onto the property, and continuously build and evolve everything that is One Community.
Phase III: Inviting the World to Participate
Everything we are open source project-launch blueprinting is designed to invite the world to participate by duplicating it as either individual components or complete teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities that will be able to be built almost anywhere in the world. Additionally, people can join One Community as members, consultants and/or partners, or use the suggestions links on our open source project-launch blueprinting hubs to help with the design, implementation, and evolution process. Scholarships, weekend learning, work crews, and tourism will be the foundations of One Community once we have sufficient infrastructure in place to support these options.
Phase IV: Universal Appeal and Global Expansion
As One Community continues evolving and establishing ourselves, everything we create and promote will serve as the engine on how to create a better world and to inspire people to align with the concept of open source and sustainable living for The Highest Good of All. We are doing this to understand how to create a better world and thus, create mainstream appeal and our path to achieving this appeal is demonstrating a happier, more affordable, and ecologically friendly model of living that can be built anywhere in the world.
Open source project-launch blueprinting it all is how we believe the model will spread and, possibly most importantly, that it will predictably spread even faster in the areas where it is needed most because building restrictions, the cost of land, and materials costs are in most cases lower in these areas.
We are creating everything One Community does as open source and free-shared blueprints because we see this as how to create a better world and the path to a new Golden Age of creativity, innovation, cooperation, and collaboration for all of humanity. Our model is a solution model that creates additional solution creating models enabling people to live and collaborate globally for The Highest Good of All. The easier we make everything we do, the faster we see the world transitioning.
Every aspect of this model supports itself and contributes to its success, from the sustainable food, energy, and homes, to the social architecture, One Community Education Program, and open source sharing model itself. Each piece can be accessed, evolved, and even re-birthed as something completely new. It can be duplicated by itself or with other modules, with applications as diverse as the people who want and need them. The constantly expanding total model will additionally be able to be used in its entirety as the open source project-launch blueprint for a variety of duplicate teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities capable of being built virtually anywhere.
The most profound part is: the more we open source share, the more we help move everyone forward, the more people know about how to create a better world and what we are doing and can participate, and the more successful and capable we are of project-launch blueprinting and sharing even more still. This is all supported and made possible because:
One Community’s open source strategy will evolve 5 primary types of open source content purposed to reach and service as broad an audience as possible. This includes the following mediums of sharing that are being developed to function as standalone resources or in combination with each other:
Maximum exposure is accomplished through simultaneous implementation of the following strategies:
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. 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 learn how to create a better world and 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.

"In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model.
You create a new model and make the old one obsolete. That, in essence, is the higher service to which we are all being called."
