Professional Support and Design Ideas

  Professional services will be enlisted in all areas of  Village development. To date,  architects, building site managers, an electrician, lawyers,  accountants, program developers, educators, artists, and ministers  all support the Village  Vision . Cultural Organizations and others have also been consulted and  have agreed to assist in making the Village a reality.  The following ideas were explored:

  · Steel building construction for the larger buildings (performing arts center, conference center, administration facility, etc. )  

 

·   Modular and small cabin state of the art construction for the smaller quad residences  

 

  · Wooden Yurts for the prayer/meditation center, and the drum  circle building  

 

  · The dining facility with a full kitchen and dining hall  

 

  · The Retreat Center/Guest House with   meeting space,  guest quarters, offices, and residence space
