Mission


A revolution to change nothing less than the world. It is time to move beyond the unsustainable, unfulfilling, mainstream culture. We need to research WHOLE solutions, doing more than reduce, reuse and recycle, going beyond the fragmented and narrow bandages which postpone but don’t alter.

 

The ultimate goal is to live as simply as possible in harmony with nature and ourselves. A back-to-basic lifestyle that will re-establish us to the land, healing the disconnection of our lives and leading to the restoration of the earth.

 

One of our missions is to educate individuals and families to integrate sustainable living practices and methods into their daily lives. Our focus is on: organic gardening, permaculture, solar cooking, composting and other back-to-basic, sustainable technologies and practices relating to the home environment. 

 

 

Purpose


Path to Freedom strives to inspire individuals to "think globally, act locally" by motivating them to live a simpler and more fulfilling life.  Our objective is to live as sustainably as possible in an urban environment.

 

It is an entire life’s journey and we have many more miles to go--the journey by no means is over!  With Path to Freedom we are proving that we can attain our goal if we advance in stages whatever the circumstances.  Our hope is that by documenting our personal experiences we can offer encouragement to those who are on the same journey towards a simple, self-sufficient lifestyle.  We enjoy sharing our knowledge and helping others develop in this direction.

Inside Path to Freedom you will find:

Resources and links on such topics as organic gardening, simple and sustainable living, composting, solar power, etc.

Ongoing record of facts and figures from our urban garden project.

Documentation of our latest projects towards becoming self-sufficient in an urban setting.

Informative articles relating to many areas of self-sufficient & sustainable living.  Including articles dealing with the environmental & genetic engineering.

A means to bring individuals together who have similar visions and goals--for encouragement, education and support.

 

 

Vision


Nothing less than a revolution is required in order for man to achieve the realization of his human potential.  The future will be one of tremendous struggle because the world has been held captive.  It is time to rise up to break out of this bondage.  VICTORY can only be won by those armed with "plowshares."  When the land is liberated, the people will be; when the people are liberated the nation will be.  And, one nation--truly, fully liberated will lead the world to real freedom!

 

We will use our hands as weapons of mass creation.  With this natural choice the gates will be opened to return to the garden.  And, so this is a call to begin to go back to the old ways and continue until nature has been restored to its original state.  Nothing less will do!

 

Our inspiration: "...and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,

and their spears into pruninghooks:  nation shall not lift up sword against

nation, neither shall they learn war any more."  ~ Isaiah 2:4 ~
