Helping Manifest StewardHeirShip of Soda Springs Ranch: An Invitation to Help Discern and Fulfill the "Divine Design" for This Sacred Sanctuary Space (in English)
Synopsis "Helping Manifest StewardHeirShip of Soda Springs Ranch: An Invitation to Help Discern and Fulfill the "Divine Design" for This Sacred Sanctuary Space (in English)"
Property Ownership Versus StewardHeirShip . . . What Is the "Divine Design"? We invite you to participate in a cocreative visioning process to discern how to manifest StewardHeirShip of this extraordinary 134 acre property with several bodies of water near Sedona, Arizona, It includes a 5,000 square foot lodge (with 10 bedrooms, dining room, commercial kitchen, lounge), 4 houses, pastures, barn, stables, pond, etc. "The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in the 24th century. We work to better ourselves and better all of humanity." - Captain Picard, First Contact (Star Trek) StewardHeirShip(TM) encompasses Spirit, Service, Stewardship and Sustainability. We use the acronym S.P.I.R.I.T. for Stewardship, Purpose, Integrity, Responsibility, Inspiration and Transformation. We share Bucky Fuller's vision of "betterment for 100% of humanity" and his concept of stewardship of Spaceship Earth. We decided to use a book format to share our vision and invitation for others to join with us in this project to transform this sacred sanctuary into a demonstration Center for Conscious Sustainable Living. In the book we share information that could be helpful to anyone planning a large-scale project. That includes resources for "Expanding the Circle of Success" and helping generate greater individual and collective capacity for solving the social, economic and environmental challenges we face locally and globally. The book introduces Community Economic Development principles and practices of Self-Help, Empowerment and Capacity-Building, Crowdfunding, Community Land Trusts, and Intentional Communities. It also provides an overview of two reasons we believe this is the richest time in the history of the United States of America to collaborate around a worthwhile cause and purpose, to make a difference and to leave a legacy. Benefit Corporations are a new class of cause-oriented company that use the power of business to create a material positive impact on society and the environment (incorporating the 4Ps of Purpose, People, Planet and Profitability). The recently passed JOBS Act creates Equity Crowdfunding opportunities, eases IPO rules, and will let businesses advertise and generate up to a million dollars a year from up to 2,000 non-accredited investors. We agree with Benjamin Franklin who said "The destiny of America is not power, it is light." We are grateful for these new unprecedented resources that we believe will enable us to help Fulfill the Ultimate Destiny of the USA and the inscription on the Statue of Liberty "Enlightening the world". And yes we are optimistic enough to believe we may even be able to help fulfill our ultimate vision of a United State of Americans, Imagine That!

Those of us involved in the cocreative collaborative process presently focused on this project fully recognize and appreciate the fact that the ranch is a one-of-a-kind property. We also feel it represents an incredible opportunity for us to practice what might be called a higher consciousness approach of "StewardHeirShip". We are seeking to discern and help manifest the highest and best use of the property, what Plato referred to as the "Divine Purpose" for it whether that happens to include us and our vision for its use or not. If you have any interest in the property and or the collaborative process we are sharing, please read the book and share your feedback. We invite your participation at any level and thank you!
