The People's Project

The Peoples Project invites all those who are part of the larger global movement of sustainability, collective action, and intentional community to join together to create a new beautiful, shared, ecologically friendly space in Celina, Tennessee (with LAKE ACCESS!) (pictured below)

 

The idea is to purchase these 16 acres to be placed in a land trust to ensure that the land always remains a section of shared earth under the values of Autonomy, Peaceful Cooperation, Equality, and Sustainable Earth Stewardship. Apart from the guidelines specifically outlined in this trust, the rest of the organizational structure of the space will be decided upon overtime by the people who decide to dedicate their time to steward this land, as long as they uphold these four values listed above. The space can evolve according to the needs of the community, and will exist as part of a network of permaculture and mutual aid. We feel passionate that no one can personally own the earth, and if many people pitch in small amounts, we can establish shared spaces for people to care for one another, and the earth.

 

 

The Land

This land is 16 acres being sold for $32,000, we have already raised $18,800 and are hoping to crowd-fund the rest from those who resonate with this vision. It has access to Dale Hollow Lake (8 minutes walking) (we could play on boats and explore the lake), it is almost entirely wooded area and is significantly sloped (we can dig into the hill and build little hobbit homes ). It has a bit of a bumpy dirt road to access but ample parking space and public road access (not landlocked). We think its an uncommonly good deal for this property because you cannot run electric or water there from the grid--off-grid for the win!

This is an initiative of the People’s Project which has been working on a Network of Land and People connected by Mutual Aid for the past 7 years. Please contact us if you have any more questions about the land or how this project would work! We also have a discord server and facebook messenger chat you can be included in to chat with the likeminded people who are excited for this land!

 

If this land does sell to someone else before we are able to fund the entire amount, the money raised will be put towards a different land purchase with the same intention explained above, and of course with consideration of the desires of those donating. This is a collaborative project, and you are welcome to get involved and help us make this happen! <3 <3

Imagine sustainable communities strategically placed all across our nation. Imagine no worries when traveling because you know there’s a place close by that you can call home that will feed, clothe, and house you up. Imagine a group of people that you can call family and trust with your heart and soul. Imagine a place your children, and your children's children can safely come, play, and learn. Imagine a place where art, music, and food is to be made and love is all around.


The Garden is an off-grid 21-acre sustainable, egalitarian, community whos main purpose is to help others. After 8 long years we've come so far, and we have that much further to go. The Garden is a place where individuals, couples, and families can come together to live and learn, and where travelers can get off the road and share ideas and stories. We are certified with WWOOF  (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). We are affiliated with the non-for profit group The People's Project and their misson. We've built community cabins, converted schoolbuses into living quarters. We've built a fully functional kitchen and dining hall. We have a fully stocked library, and a schoolhouse almost finished. We have playgrounds. We have a closed in showerhouse. We have plenty of garden space and a fruiting orchard. We have a new stage to enjoy live music around a bonfire. We have buses going around the country feeding people and helping with disaster relief efforts. We are apart of an amazing network of like minded people and we are reaching out. 







We run on donations and what abundance our land can provide. We are in need of organic seeds to cultivate and create our own heirloom organic seed bank for the next generations. We always need gardening tools to keep our gardens growing and producing. With all this said our main priority is  a reliable farm truck to help with hauling building material, firewood, livestock needs, produce, and rescue missions. We are super busy feeding the revolution and keeping our land going. We need a farm truck to keep this mission alive. 






We hold numerous events like our annual Spring Gathering starting April 15th. We're planning to have workshops on sustainable living, organic farming, nonviolent communication, and much much more. We have a lot of planting opportunities this year, such as plans for planting a new orchard, planting and harvesting for the National Rainbow Gathering in Georgia. As well as planting to provide healthy organic meals around the clock. We are always looking for individuals working towards the mission to help. Your help counts even if it seems like it’s not a lot! Every dollar you donate and every minute of your time will go towards creating sustainable life for the children of our future.
