The Gathering
By Invitation Only
A chance to gather and share with others who know we can do, and be, and feel, better.
Who inherited generational responsibility and sense a calling to build a legacy aligned with heart calling.
Three days at a private 219-acre coastline ranch, held for a small circle of individuals ready to listen to their inner wisdom — by the fire, on the land, together.
WHAT to EXPECT
Privacy * Confidentiality
Welcoming ceremony begins the first afternoon. Departure follows closing ceremony on the afternoon of the third day. Everything in between — the fire, the meals, the silence, the laughter, tears, joy, release, belonging evolving — the door is held for you.
Build Your Legacy
The Re-Membering gathering will ask what you want the next seven generations to say about how you held what was given to you.
You are not shopping for this model.
You are positioned to build it.
Inquire to Hold Your Spot
The Invitation
Three Ways to Step In
Participate
Attend the gathering, witness the land, and add your voice to the founding circle’s first conversations.
Present
Bring your expertise. Host a session, lead a practice, or help shape a program for the community to come.
1 & 2: Listening. Belonging. Healing. Nurturing. Go home with some new energy and new tools.
Invest
Deploy capital alongside others who share these values — at a tranche that matches your role in founding this place. After the gathering, join a deep-dive session — in person or online — for those ready to go further into Re-Membering, Belonging, and Exploring Founding an Earth University.
The Opportunity
Founding Tranches
| Tier | Range | What It Carries |
|---|---|---|
| Seed Steward | $200,000 – $499,000 | Founding membership in The Re-Membering/ Earth University |
| Founding Partner | $500,000 – $1,999,000 | A voice in the governance circle, plus first right on regenerative ventures |
| Cornerstone Investor | $2,000,000 – $4,999,000 | A named role shaping a program or site element |
| Visionary Founder | $5,000,000 – $10,000,000+ | Lead founder of the Earth University initiative |
Every tranche carries the same first right of investment in the regenerative businesses growing on this land.
The Structure, Continued
Capital That Works Twice
The Easement
Portions of the land’s value may be donated to a qualified 501(c)(3) conservation trust at appraised highest-and-best-use, permanently protecting the coastline.
The Deduction
That donation can create a significant charitable deduction alongside the conservation outcome — the same structure already used to shape this offering.
The Counsel
Bring your own tax and legal advisors into the deep-dive session. Every family’s structure will look a little different.
Why This, Why Now
Not a Leap of Faith.
An Assembly of Proven Parts.
Co-stewardship models, land trusts, regenerative enterprises, and tax-advantaged legal structures already exist, separately, elsewhere. What hasn’t existed yet is a founding circle willing to braid them together — on this coastline, with Chumash leadership at the center, at this moment.
We are not inventing the pieces. We are the first to assemble them this way, at this scale, on this coastline.

Ancient Ways Medicine Teacher
A pioneering plant and spiritual medicine teacher, Huichol-initiated Shaman, and ceremonial leader of 55+ years.
The Vision, Continued
A Prophecy
Becoming Place
The Prophecy
Mindahi Bastida (Otomi Toltec) and The Earth Elders envision a living constellation of Earth Schools — sacred sites for ecological restoration, ancestral knowledge, and the education of the next generation of Earth Guardians.
The Scale
Thirteen schools in a first phase, growing toward fifty-two worldwide — each anchored at a sacred site, each governed by the community that holds it.
The Anchor
Dos Pueblos, in partnership with Tribal Trust Foundation and Chumash leadership, is positioned to become one of these anchors: a coastal and marine Earth University built where this founding circle’s capital meets this land.
The Method, At Scale
Everything This Needs,
in One Circle
Each piece below is necessary. Take one away, and the circle stops being a circle.
MISSION
Inner Peace
Begin within — outer peace follows inner peace.
Capacity Building
A bioeconomy rooted in local stewardship.
Trustworthy Impact
Monitoring honest enough for real markets.
Water as Origin
The ocean as the lifeblood connecting it all.
New Coordination
Collective capital, not lone capital.
The Threshold
Shifting Definitions of Wealth & Health
Capital as Commodity
Held apart from relationship. Measured by what it accumulates. Protected from risk — and from people.
Capital as Flow
Held in relationship with land, lineage, and community. Measured by what it regenerates. Deployed alongside others, not alone.
This is the conversation the gathering is built to open. The Collective is where a small circle will begin practicing it with real capital.
The Structure
Ownership With a
Conscience Built In
Private Stewardship
Titled interests and long-term use rights for values-aligned families.
Nonprofit Conservation Trust
Controlling interest, held by a 501(c)(3) trust, protecting the land in perpetuity.
The Four Pillars of Governance

Cultural authority; protocols for sacred sites; youth transmission.

Mission steward; storytelling and philanthropic channel.
Conservation Land Trust Partner

A multi-party structure built so the mission can’t quietly drift into private luxury.
