The pressing challenges
Global temperatures are rising and biodiversity is decreasing at alarming rates. The way we currently consume resources and exploit others is directly proportional to how we as humans separate ourselves from each other and the larger ecological web of life. In order to achieve the transition to a sustainable society, a radical change in technologies, institutions and worldview is needed
The sacred opportunities
We believe that true wealth springs from sensitive and skillful relationships between humans and natural resources. With thoughtful and proper planning, human and biotic growth are capable of not only being compatible, but life enhancing in a myriad of ways. This paradigm shift requires a personal and intimate connection with the environment, as well as a willingness to live and work with the natural rhythms and cycles that form our world.
Our Mission
To return farmland to the commons and create an attractive model of live-in work environment that can inspire the re-population of farmland.
To provide affordable home ownership, use regenerative practices for food production and wildlife habitat restoration, and develop a variety of cottage industries to comfortably sustain a multi-generational community.
Vision for Community
Mil Abrazos plans to provide a supportive framework for residents to minimize their ecological footprint and maximize their integration within the local community. Residents will endeavor to substantially meet their needs from the site through agriculture, education and other cottage industries.
Model for Sustainable Practices
Mil Abrazos will aim to demonstrate the viability of low impact development as a model that has the potential to rejuvenate the Northern New Mexico landscape and economy while act as a reference point for future sustainable development.
The project will be carefully monitored to provide evidence of the level of achievement of targets and criteria, as well as to provide a research resource to inform and promote the wider uptake of low impact living.
