We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Gause, Texas · July 4, 2026
250 years later, this experimental republic is still going strong. But there is a distortion afoot.
It is no secret that our current system has been captured by the military-industrial complex, the financial-industrial complex, the techno-industrial complex. We are moving through a time of great risk — our foundational freedoms being eroded.
There are many of us waking up. Seeing what's really going on. And there are a few who are devoting themselves and doing something about it. Not just talking about what's wrong with the world, but pouring everything that they have and that they are into building the foundation for a more harmonious and regenerative future.
This is no easy task. And no one has all the answers. That is why it's time for us to gather.
As a community. Holding these visions for a more beautiful world. Building infrastructure for sovereign community living and food sovereignty. Reimagining what it means to live in right relation. Reinventing the systems we take for granted.
Join us on America's 250th birthday. As we gather builders, architects, weavers, and artists — to remember what it means to be sovereign.
The Gathering
This is a ceremonial day of celebration of our freedoms. We will open the container together and close it together — creating a safe, sacred space of coherence, trust, and belonging so that we can live as a community for a day.
This is a family-friendly event. Guided activities for children will run throughout the day. This is a substance-free event.

Build What's Next
A return to the land.
Haven Community Village is one of many birthplaces of the emerging paradigm. We are not a retreat center or a commune. We are a healing community village — focused on integrating and growing a felt sense of belonging and purpose within our growing network.
Our focus is to provide events, gatherings, and activations that nurture our growing community. Our goal is to establish food sovereignty so that we can nourish the people who call this network home.
Haven is a co-created living art project, and there are many ways to contribute. Projects like this require substantial financial resources. If you feel called to contribute, we are putting a goal of $35,000 as a fundraiser on top of this event.
One of our next projects is a glamping village — so that we can create more space for our community to gather and flow through this property, building momentum to continue expanding the infrastructure we are all building together.
