What Does “Divine Design” Mean?
Over the past few years, we have discovered that if we tune into Spirit, Inner Guidance, the Creative Force or Source Energy, whatever one calls the Infinite Power, the “Divine Design” inherent in anything, including a property, will reveal itself rather than our having to DO anything other than BE STILL, LISTEN, LET GO AND LET SPIRIT and take only appropriate ACT/I/ON. “The great Truth is that there is a divine plan for your life, and that divine plan is the sublime plan. It includes health, happiness, abundance, and perfect self-expression. As you begin to dwell upon the divine plan, you will attract to yourself the ideas, opportunities, events, and people that are meant to be part of your life.” – Catherine Ponder, Open Your Mind to Prosperity
Given the social, economic and environmental crises we face, what attitudes

“The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level
of thinking (consciousness) with which we created them”
-- Albert Einstein

Acquiring the Ranch as a Limited Liability Company
Encompassing Community Economic Development
Establishing a Benefit Corporation to Acquire and Operate It
Acquiring at Least the Land as a Community Land Trust
Inviting Participation in Creating an Intentional Community
Developing It As a Center for Conscious Sustainable Living
Combining Any or All of the Options Listed Above
We Are Exploring Several Possible Ways To Collaborate in Helping Fulfill the “Divine Design”
www.stewardheirship.info
An intentional community is a planned residential community designed from the start to have a high degree of social cohesion and teamwork. The members typically hold a common social, political, religious, or spiritual vision and often follow an alterna-tive life-style. They typically share resources and responsibilities. The purposes of intentional communities vary in different communities. They may include sharing resources, creating family-oriented neighborhoods and living ecologically sustainable lifestyles.
Intentional Communities
Fellowship for Intentional Communities www.ic.org
A community land trust is a nonprofit corporation that develops and stewards affordable housing, community gardens, civic buildings, commercial spaces and other community assets on behalf of a community. “CLTs” balance the needs of individuals to access land and maintain security of tenure with a community’s need to maintain affordability, economic diversity and local access to essential services. The community land trust is an equitable and sustainable model of affordable housing and community development that has slowly spread throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom during the past 40 years.
Community Land Trusts

"Sustainability can be basically defined as “that which does not take more than it gives.” It can be more specifically defined as, “Any culture, lifestyle, or practice that creates peace, invites and nurtures the full development of each human while producing food, clothing, shelter, goods, and services in ways that create abundance and health for all living things into infinity.”
The 7 Fs of Conscious Sustainable Living:
Food Production and Distribution; Fuel Self-Sufficiency; Family/Home/Community; Financial Stewardship; Full Realization of Human Potential; Future Orientation; 7th Generation and Fully Enlightened Consciousness
Center for Conscious Sustainable Living
Community Economic Development (CED) consists of three main principles: Self-Help; Empowerment; and Capacity Building.

We’re combining the Principles and Practices of Community Economic Development (CED) with the new Benefit Corporation model and the Crowd Funding provisions of the JOBS Act to help foster innovation, collaboration, job creation, enlightened entrepreneurship, and sustainable communities.
The JOBS Act creates Crowd Funding opportunities, eases IPO rules, and will let businesses advertise and raise up to a million dollars a year of equity capital from non-accredited investors. It also allows up to 2,000 non-accredited investors to invest in these companies based upon a percentage of their income.

Invitation to Help Envision the Divine Design
Cocreative Visioning for StewardHeirShip
From a StewardHeirShip perspective, how would we refine the question?
What are some of the ultimate possible ways that the property could foster higher levels of conscious sustainable living AND
benefit the greatest possible number of individuals, the larger community and our planet?
Please take a few minutes to answer that question on the visioning sheet.
The first step in our visioning process is usually oriented to something we want such as: List 10 positive things you would
like to see happen and help bring forth within the next __ years?
Spiritually Centered Cocreative Visioning
I propose that we might contemplate and share insights we receive as we turn within for answers to questions such as:
What is Spirit’s Vision for Soda Springs Ranch?
What do I/we have to be or become to allow Spirit’s vision to manifest?
What do I/we need to let go of to allow Spirit’s vision to manifest?
What is the Gift of Spirit that I personally bring?
Is there anything else I/we could know or receive from Infinite Wisdom?
Then after each individual shares the insights, images and ideas they receive in response to the questions, we will collectively consider the final question:
“Given this wisdom and inner guidance, what are the next steps we need to take to facilitate Spirit’s vision for Soda Springs Ranch
coming forth in, through and as us?”
Mind/Heart Storming for StewardHeirShip
SPECIFIC GOAL STATEMENT, TASK OR QUESTION: Date: __________
I seek Wisdom and Inner Guidance on possible ways that I/we may help manifest “StewardHeirShip” of Soda Springs Ranch including how to most appropriately acquire the property, maintain it and operate programs and services there that bless residents, visitors, the larger community and our planet:
List 20 possible answers.
Then review them and list possible priority Action Steps.
Please take a few minutes to complete the Mind/Heart Storming exercise.
The Three Round Method of Brainstorming
The Three Round Method of Brainstorming is an exceptionally powerful and effective approach to problem solving and creative thinking. The process empowers a group of individuals to actively participate in a co-creative process that encourages everyone to contribute their best thinking on whatever problem or issue the group is attempting to resolve. It enables the group to discover their shared concerns and perspectives, it encourages positive thinking and generates a sense of community. STEPS IN THE THREE ROUND METHOD OF BRAINSTORMING:
Review the Rules of Creativity in Brainstorming: (1) Seek the greatest possible quantity of ideas (the most important rule) (2) Defer judgment (until the time set aside for evaluating ideas) (3) Freewheel (be as creative, innovative and "far out" as possible) (4) Hitchhike (to generate more ideas, modify or combine other ideas)
Possibility Thinking by Robert Schuller
If you need 7 million dollars, the possibilities are:
1 person (or Foundation) for $7 million
7 people for $1 million each
70 people for $100,000
700 people for $10,000
So What Are Our Next Steps in Manifesting StewardHeirShip of Soda Springs Ranch?
We Plan to Develop Publications That Introduce StewardHeirShip and Promote Collaboration
We Plan to Produce Empowering Programs that Foster StewardHeirShip in Every Area of Life
"Inherently, each one of us has the substance within to achieve whatever our goals and
dreams define. What is missing from each of us is the training, education, knowledge and
insight to utilize what we already have.”
