And remember that it makes no difference your skill level, age or size, this is a project of many hands and each one will make change. The gratification that comes with a successful build is immense, and the sense of purpose discovered along the way will permeate the voids left by a hollow society, a pathway to healing that is essential in overcoming the addictions that artificially attempt to fill that emptiness. Our community is one of sobriety, a safe space for those in recovery, a family of support as we tend to the wounds and traumas among us.
So keep this in mind as you plan your trip, but also know that we are far from a crew of uptight sticklers, and we can pretty much guarantee a good time. This is an opportunity to broaden your understanding of what it means to live in a good way, to more clearly see the pitfalls that have gotten us to this point, and to bring clarity to your own vision of a brighter future.
This is not a workshop. But you will come away with a toolbelt of firsthand knowledge and plenty of hands-on experience.
This is not a cultural learning excursion. But you will be fully immersed in the least foreign of cultures, surrounded by the most incredible people and passions, deep conversations and handed-down stories will be shared, you will be changed.
This is not a spiritual retreat. But the spirit is alive on the reservation. Profound shifts in your understanding of the world will be born. The connection isn’t confined to one day a week out here, it’s a way of life, and we’ll see what we can do about getting a sweat lodge put up too.
This is not an environmental protest. But you will be among those who have committed their lives to protecting the Earth, many of them frontline activists. You’ll learn of so many ecological issues that don’t cut through the mainstream, and new ideas of how we can begin the mitigation process. This is an opportunity to shift from fighting against a broken system, to creating one that works.
This is not a decolonization camp. But you will move on with a new perspective of American history, the American present, and a new vision of the future we can only build together.
This is not a vacation. But it’s sure gonna feel like one.
We’ve met so many folks along our travels who want to be involved in manifesting the next steps of our collective journey. Who want to deepen their connection to the ancestors that compose our planet Who yearn to do something about the social inequalities in housing, food, and life quality. Who seek to apply their creative energy towards reviving our planet. Those who want to consciously take the steps required to use their privilege to dismantle their privilege. This project is a way to do all of these things, plus it’s gonna be a really good workout.
