Our mission is To build an on-the-ground network and provide imperative, regenerative technology skills and labor and professional media and publicity to festivals, impact centers and communities in the United States, Mexico and Central America.
Vision
Imagine that there is an active Earth Odyssey on each continent, building self-sufficient homesteads and villages from the ground up while training and empowering passionate individuals to make their own dreams come true, traveling with intention and connecting to new projects and expanding the network's reach. We envision a world of all beings living in harmony with the ecosystem and
creating transformational experiences for people to rekindle their
tribal wisdom.
Short Summary
Earth Odyssey will leave a positive trace at nine impact centers and transformational festivals by providing skilled labor, professional media and publicity, and an array of workshops taught by our econauts to bring communities into living in balance with the planet. We will strengthen the network between these centers on the ground and online to increase their visibility by releasing 3-minute films throughout the journey. Previous to enlisting in service to the Earth Odyssey, both buses on board have exceptional histories as vehicles for community service. Twenty econauts, two buses, and a mission to build a network of interlinked impact centers = a potent formula, ripe with the potential to catalyze a movement. We can do this, together.
What We Need
To cover all of our expenses and to empower us to fully realize the mission we are embarking upon, we seek to raise $30 000 (We are asking $20 000 from our community as we are attempting to raise funds from other sources as well). The budget breaks down as follows:![]()
What You Get
For rewards, we have an array of special offerings to thank our supporters, such as private classes with Econauts, media packages, life-changing and educational experiences facilitated by Project Nuevo Mundo, lots of beautiful hand-made souvenirs made with love by econauts, and memoirs of the journey!
You'll also get to join us in this growing network of intentional travelers who are making a difference in the world. Travel and develop your skills, find experiences, and arrive at beautiful new sites to join communities that will be so happy to have you and your gifts. You get your own story, written on your own network-- like a LinkedIn and Wwoof crossover for your community that regrows the planet.
