The Parents
While the project is land-based, parents who don’t live on the land remain an essential part of our wider community. Our vision embraces an open, inclusive culture with healthy, meaningful connections to the broader society.

The Kids
Children are one of the core pillars of this project. Through them, we shape our culture. By truly listening — not just to their words but to what they express — they can lead us toward a more connected, regenerative future.
