OZARK ECO-WIND FARM COMMUNITY & INSTITUTE
Fayetteville, Arkansas,
United States
(In the Boston Mountains of the Ozark, Northwest Arkansas.)
32 Meeting House Road, Berwick, Maine,
United States
 GREETINGS, FELLOW COMMUNITARIANS!
It’s always a great honor to connect with enlightened and compassionate beings who understand the significance of helping others in manifesting one’s dreams and aspirations, and inspire them to do the same.
Due to the economic and health crises we are facing, it makes no sense for anyone to continue consuming genetically altered produce which also contain pesticides. Even transported organic goods are now being subjected to irradiation which means little or no nutritional value, causing harmful effects in the long run. However, everyone still has the choice to either purchase locally harvested crops or most likely resort to growing the food they eat.
As a result, I have been guided to design the infrastructure of an eco-sustainability center situated on 500 acres in Northwest Arkansas. The idea consists of creating a program for research and development in all aspects of sustainability, utilizing cutting edge green technology and demonstrable systems including strategies that are ecologically, economically and socially dedicated to anchoring the harmonic vibration upon our planet.
The Ozark Eco-Wind Farm Community is the backbone of the Center and the driving force behind the SAF Community Garden Project. The community offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who are willing to embrace the land with ongoing passion and immense desire to live in accordance with the divine plan. Therefore, each member can become the steward of a one hectare plot to set up a family domain and create a viable enterprise, driven by the principle of consuming what one produces in partnership with earth.
Nevertheless, the overall purpose for implementing the SAF Community Garden Project is to provide a platform that links mainstream America with sustainability programs aimed at securing our local food system. Now more than ever, the global sustainability movement is playing a huge part in overcoming the economic and health crises with a peaceful and viable solution.
Given the momentous vibrational shift in collective consciousness, the SAF project is assisting others in rekindling the cosmic link between the soul of mankind and the soul of Mother Earth. Moreover, harnessing this divine connection can essentially facilitate the process of anchoring the Crystalline frequency which our bodies require to survive in the higher vibration of Earth’s new destination.
In light of all the wonderful things that are occurring at this juncture, it is hard to ignore the pain and suffering caused by our failing economy. However, the economic crisis represents an opportunity for everyone to contemplate and reflect on one’s divinity. There are many people globally who are experiencing this dilemma and want to change by replacing the old with the new. My aim is to help guide and empower those who are allowing the creation of a lightworkers’ magnet that can radiate from the inside out.
For the time being, I am the steward of this project and I am guided to see that it is implemented on a much broader scale. My role is to be a counselor to those who will serve and a protector of the lightworkers for whom this project exists.
In the event you wish to take part in the sustainability movement, I would appreciate assistance in sharing this project with grassroots and community service leaders to implement the SAF project in your area.
