Our Mission
To live, learn and teach sustainable practices that inspire whole health for ourselves, our relationships and our world.
To inspire and help create models of comfortable, sustainable living.
To integrate sustainable practices into the mainstream as quickly as possible.
To ease and inspire the transition to post-peak oil lifestyles.
The Need
Through decades of societal emphasis on individual image and material success, our culture has lost sight of one of the most basic human needs: real
connection. Increasing with each generation, we have forgotten how to have fulfilling relationships with ourselves and each other. Marriages and families are suffering. Many people feel isolated even in the midst of other human beings.
As our world changes, and we move into a time where we are called to revive and sustain a socially cooperative network of family and community, we need to learn effective ways to work through interpersonal issues and conflicts. These ways will support us in renewing village-based security and comfort and meet our needs to feel connected, co-create together and share resources in an efficient and economical way.
At a time when peoples lives have become increasingly isolated, fragmented and disconnected from the rhythms of the earth, fulfilling relationships and village-style community, many of us are reconsidering and re-evaluating the choices we make as individuals and as a society. As the needs for sustainable choices, connection, cooperation and
equanimity become ever more apparent, the working models and experiential training programs of the Turning Point Village Project will play an increasingly important role in reviving and sustaining the social fiber of our families and communities.

| Our Project
The Turning Point Village Project is building a research and education center of sustainable living and agriculture to inspire and rekindle socially thriving community models. We are researching, experimenting, learning, and now teaching core elements and practices that build fulfilling relationships, providing the social foundation to support the collective village paradigm of sharing resources, cooperation and collaboration. This relieves individual burdens, while creating greater ease for all. The emphasis of our model is social sustainability: to live and teach practices that create enduring, harmonious social connections, support, and cooperation. These essential core elements will be integrated into all of the educational programs including: sustainable agriculture, permaculture, natural building, and appropriate technologies… The village will actively involve its members in creating healthy, fulfilling relationships with each other, the earth, surrounding community, and the global community. Our expansive vision includes youth empowerment programs that will unite young visionaries with our wise elders.
