Human needs: Integrated in landscape

Human needs: Integrated in landscape

Using Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a priority list, we design 🏞️ landscapes & 🏡 structures that solve directly for all our 🫂 human 🌳 needs. Our aim is to physically transform land into zero-cost-of-living zones, where at minimum: all basic physiological human needs are prioritised & integrated features of the landscape, e.g. 🏠shelter, 🍊food, 🚿water, ⚡️energy, 🧻sanitation. Does that make sense?

Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.

#Why (are we making paradise?)

Why

We are not driven by money, we are driven by building paradise.

To establish a sustainable and regenerative way of living, where humans and nature co-create environments that sustain life for generations to come.

In our hearts, we all know the beautiful world that is possible. Instead of worrying too much about the metacrisis, we are focussed on the paradise among the stars.

#What (is our mission & focus right now:)

What

Physiological Needs:

We aim to create "zero-cost-of-living" habitats by integrating human needs into the landscape, allowing people to pursue their higher goals, sustained by regenerative and abundant local resources.

This is how "human-needs-in-landscape" addresses nearly all of The 17 Global Goals!

The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.

#How (are we practically actualising our mission:)

How

How

Through 🏡 modular tiny houses, 🌳 planting food forests, 🚿 integrating swales & water infrastructure, ⚡️ exploring smart energy solutions (And asking: How much do we really need?), 🧻 developing luxury compost toilets & shower systems, 🍃 exploring new ways of doing large scale composting & ♻️ waste management... we are ensuring that everything needed for a thriving life is available right where we live.

First and foremost, we are having fun! We get to take horse manure, sawdust, food and garden waste, and turn it into the most nutritious living compost on earth. We are creating a compost cathederal and tiny house factory on a 1.8ha field in Paarl.

◹ #WhoAreTheParadiseMakers?

🌅 The Paradise Makers

📝 Operations of Paradise - VIA PATREON $x/Month

We are the Paradise Makers™, the actualisers, and this is our creed:

In the stillness of dawn, I rise with purpose.

I am a Paradise Maker.
I walk the path of peace, yet I wield the tools of change.
I sow seeds of harmony in the soil of discord, and in every act, I choose creation over destruction.

May my hands be steady, my heart be strong, and my mind be clear.
I move with intention, knowing that every choice echoes through eternity.
I bring light to the shadows, and in the face of doubt, I stand firm in my vision.

I am a steward of the Earth,
A guardian of life, a cultivator of joy.
I weave together the fabric of community, nurturing the bonds that tie us to one another and to the land.

Let my work be a prayer, my labor an offering.
With each breath, I renew my vow to serve the greater good, to heal what is broken, to plant hope where there is despair.

I am a warrior of peace,
Armed with compassion, shielded by love.
In every garden I tend, every tree I plant, I leave a legacy of abundance, a testament to the power of small acts to shape a better world.

Today, I dedicate myself to the task at hand:
To make paradise here, where I stand, with what I have, with all that I am.
And as the sun sets, may I look upon the day’s work with pride, knowing that I have done my part in the great unfolding of paradise.

I am a Paradise Maker,
And this is my creed.
May my actions speak louder than my words, and may the paradise I build within be reflected in the paradise I build without.

And so it is, and so it is, and so it is.

We are developing practical, localised solutions to the world biggest problems.

Using Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a guide, we are developing structures and habitats that solve for human needs directly.

(Not profit seeking structures that seek to make money in order to purchased the goods of living, but to produce the goods of living directly instead.)

Our mission is to solve for the foundational physiological needs of humans and build a re-imagined city.
