In the United States, our culture is one of fast food, long work hours, polarized debates, and discord. Some countries are seeing similar trends. And others continue to be embroiled in war and turmoil. We believe this needs to change... and can. Change starts with each of us making good choices for ourselves and each other. Our mission is to provide awareness, knowledge, tools, and a platform of open discussion and collaboration to empower as many humans as possible to be that change. HEALTHY in body, PEACEFUL in mind, CONNECTED in heart, and UNIFIED in spirit!

UNIQUE BUSINESS ADVANTAGES:
Our programs are already underway and our audience is slowly growing. The first book is scheduled for release in ebook form on November 2, and in print December 21, 2020. We have guests lined up for our podcast and episodes planned for recording. We expect our first episodes to air on most podcast outlets and in video format on Youtube by December 2020. We are currently developing our course curriculums and have established the digital platform on which they will be hosted. Our intention is to launch the first 3-5 courses in early 2021. We have determined a general location area for our physical community and are actively seeking opportunities with the help of a local real estate professional to develop our vision. We are in communication with potential partners and co-creators and are collaborating to establish and organize objectives and timelines in a practical and mutually beneficial way that honors the values we have set forth. The E.H. founders have significant personal experience in working with non-profit organizations, podcasts, writing, marketing, real estate, and business management in addition to our experience, knowledge, and passion about the topics and issues on which we focus. We have connections and support across the United States and in several countries. Our federal 501c3 application is currently being reviewed for approval.

OUR 3 PHASE FUNDRAISING GOAL:
As of October 2020, goals are based on the current economic climate and our best educated guess about costs and expectations based on our experience and research. These numbers may change somewhat as changes occur on the political front, within our general economy, and other potential occurrences in weather, government, or other things affect us. We will do our best to maintain current information and update this site as often as necessary.
The Incubation Phase - $100,000
This helps us purchase equipment, cover advertising and fundraising expenses, and pay for up front and ongoing production for the book, podcast, and digital courses. This will also reimburse the founders for out of pocket expenses paid to establish the Empowered Humans project and provide minimal salaries to allow them to focus as much of their time and energy as possible on moving the project forward. Travel to other eco community sites for the purpose of learning and research and attendance of industry relevant trade shows and learning events.
The Development/Transition Phase - $500,000
The purchase of land and establishment of permaculture gardens and integrated food forest. Infrastructure, permits, labor, and materials for off-grid power. Materials for production of bio char and transport of biomass. Preparation of land and design and planning for land development. Recruitment costs for volunteers and expansion of our board of directors, hiring of employees, paid professionals, legal costs, fundraising expenses, advertising, and events. Publishing of additional books, growth of the podcast audience, addition of new courses and live events, and membership growth.
The Build and Scale Phase - $500,000
Construction of Geoship buildings to house our creative studios, workshops and retreat space, a wellness and meditation center, housing for co-living community members, and other supporting building structures. In this phase we hope to host exchange programs with other eco-communities, and be of assistance to people who may be called to develop their own eco-communities. We intend to scale production of biochar for regular distribution to local organic farms, nurseries, and community co-ops, and establish regular, ongoing support programs for local organizations to help educate, feed, and provide resources for those who are hungry.
