Community Development
Autonomous Residential Collaborative
(A.R.C.)
The A.R.C. is a sequestered physical expanse in which the equanimity needed for cultural amelioration is provided and nurtured. The accoutrements consist of the main house, guest house, dormitory, cafeteria, classroom and library. There is a yoga and meditation facility, physical training area and a media center. The dome and circular shaped dwellings are aesthetically pleasing and give the A.R.C. the look and feel of a futuristic Afrakan village.

The A.R.C. is ground zero for our distinct training experience. Our stratagem emphasizes a deep exploration into the relationship between individual liberty and collective responsibility and their role in the maturation of community. We encourage the practice of conservation, which minimizes consumption and waste. Our strong emphasis on cooperation and interdependency devitalizes selfishness and lessens conflicts. Our penchant for frugality helps to reduce debt and aides in the creation of industry. It is here that the philosophy of cultural centeredness is repurposed so its autonomous potential is consummated. Cultural centeredness transcends ideology and becomes a martial knowledge demonstrative of the integration of ancient cultural principles with contemporary needs.
A typical day with us will have you meditating at sunrise, running an obstacle course by noon, studying the reality of war at dusk and at the center of a ritual by moonlight. An Autonomous Residential Collaborative is seminal to the accretion of a sustainable community.
