Paradise Project: Empowering Community

Our mission is to cultivate a self-sufficient and compassionate community that empowers individuals through education, creativity, and collaboration. We aim to grow sustainable food systems, foster economic resilience through resource sharing, and inspire unity through the arts and open expression. Guided by the principles of respect, authenticity, and mutual support, we strive to create a space where everyone thrives together—building a legacy of love, community, and shared purpose.

The Paradise Project

Our Vision

A Unified Community

Our vision is to create a self-sufficient, compassionate community built on the legacy of transformative leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Marcus Garvey, Fred Hampton, Huey Newton, and W.E.B. DuBois. This vision, born from vivid childhood dreams of unity, abundance, and shared purpose, aligns with many historical movements of love that have sought to uplift humanity through solidarity and justice. As a practicing shaman, I continue to relive and refine this dream through meditative journeys, guiding us toward a sanctuary where love, creativity, and mutual support flourish—manifesting a harmonious and sustainable future for all.
