Secure a property that will serve as a Residential Center and Retreat Center that concentrates on the Buddhist teaching of interconnectedness, including plants, animals, minerals and the facilities as an integral and inclusive participant in the community. This center will also serve those who are socially active/engaged by providing spiritual support and training.

Establish a spiritually centered Group Home for infants, children and young people deemed unmanageable or troubled by current cultural and social measures.

Create and establish The Rural Social work Cooperative which will provide assessment and services in Rural Communities for all members of the community in need regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual preference, age or national origin. Some examples:

  • Provide support, focus and education to the young adult population (11-18 years) with the intent to provide information that will aid them in understanding the impact of their choices and actions on the whole of their lives.
  • Establish a spiritually based program to educate and support teenage Mothers and Fathers through pregnancy and beyond.
  • Establish genderless, spiritually centered treatment program and half-way house for victims of spousal or partner abuse.
  • Establish a spiritually centered treatment program and half-way house for people recovering from substance abuse.
  • Establish a clearing house for groups or individuals that are currently engaged in socially active ventures and are not connected with each other and are seeking support of all kinds.
