Arc38 is a living experiment in authentic culture,
situated on 188 acres of wetland and forest in Wassaic, NY.
We strive to actualize human potential,
by creating an incubator
for the best ideas ready to take form, right now.
MISSION STATEMENT
Arc 38 is a community of people who strive to facilitate, educate
and uplift the populus by means of sustainable permaculture,
spiritual diversity and values of unifying inclusivity.
The Goals of Arc 38
The Goal of the Arc 38 Core Group is simplistic in it’s complexity
and is vastly encompassing of many ideals.
One of our most high goals is to ease and assist
in the unification of diverse social cultures.
We conclude that
our main goals must emulate missions
which are inclusive of all people
while still being definitive enough
to provide a general direction.
This direction will be developed through and for projects
which may assist in the lasting creation
of such a diverse atmosphere,
prioritizing the needs of the whole
over the wants of individuals,
thus the following will outline
what the projects at Arc 38 are representative of.
We seek to create an abundant and sustainable world
by becoming the proper example and epitomization
of what that may mean.
By using diverse methods of permaculture,
we are able to encourage
a more conscious use of our resources.
We serve to promote the preservation and facilitation
of life giving, tangible resources such as potable water,
clean air, abundance of nutritious foods,
renewable energies and more.
We collectively share the belief that
resources such as these
are that which is too precious to take for granted,
that all should have access to those resources
which provide life.
The land upon which Arc 38 is situated
is home to natural marsh and wooded environments
with diverse species of microbial, insect, plant and animal life.
Stewardship of these lands is very important to us,
protecting and caring for these natural wonders are of top priority.
Biodiversity may flourish through intelligent forestry management,
taking great care not to choke the ever flowing
forces of nature yet instead to work in harmony.
It is only through the pursuit of these ends
that we gain the ability and time to practice
a more positive atmosphere of equality, acceptance,
and coexistence for all people.
By removing the fear and grip of scarcity
we are more capable of providing a peaceful existence,
a non-discriminative sanctuary where people of diverse social,
economic and spiritual cultures may congregate without fear of judgement.
We look forward to the evolution of human consciousness as a whole
and strive to become a great cultural center.
Monetary sustainability will ensure our survival and success
in the current outer paradigm, giving us the opportunity to
improve our services and provide better outreach.
Through the main goals of Arc 38 a myriad of services
may generate monetary funding that may both be used to uplift Arc 38,
it's individual projects and those in the pursuit of similar goals.
We also hope to help bring economic flow for the local community
outside of our miniature community,
doing our best to live in harmony with all around us.
Lastly, by inviting the public to become apprentices
and stewards of our projects we hope to provide the ability
for people to learn with hands on experience.
Educating people on how they may implement similar projects,
anywhere in the world, is what will truly create
the change in the world that we wish to see.
For though we may all be individuals who are responsible for ourselves
there is no limit to what we can accomplish by uplifting one another.
Together we will change the world.
