NOTE!!! : People have been contacting us for YEARS after NOT having read our website. Read !! :
1. WE HAVE NO LAND (YET!) OR PLACE FOR YOU TO STAY. A primary motivating purpose of this Project is to GATHER TOGETHER those who CANNOT AFFORD to buy land title, etc. and POOL our resources in order to buy that land title etc.!
2. We want self-starting people who see that it is ALL OF US who MUST make this Project happen rather than relying on someone else to build it.
"Once upon a time there were four people: Their names were Everybody, Somebody, Nobody, and Anybody. Whenever there was an important job to do Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. When Nobody did it, Everybody got angry because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Somebody would do it, but Nobody realized that Nobody would do it. So consequently Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done in the first place."

The purpose of the Paradise Restoration Project is to create Paradise Gardens sanctuaries worldwide.
'Paradise' means 'garden sanctuary' (from the Persian word 'pairidaeza', pairi meaning 'park' or garden, 'daeza' meaning 'enclosed' or 'sanctuary').
Raw fruitarian (killing and injury-free) diet as the ideal, sharing 'ownership' (shared land title) regardless of finances, independence from the need for 'money' (meaning being truly 'off the grid' in EVERY way), co-helping the poor, disabled, discouraged, misunderstood, misfit, outcast, creative peaceful and loving people to pool financial and all other resources in order to obtain land title and other necessities of living in paradisial gardens.
Decision making by 100% consensus council, 'extended family' values, love and co-operation, co-creative endeavours, freedom from addictions and true dedication to the greater good of the whole are central precepts.
Religious / spiritual values include all those that are conducive to the simple living basics of life in paradise
