Village Development Plan – One Community
Our open source village development plan continues to move forward. We made significant progress last week on the Pod 1 (depicted left) Tropical Dome graywater processing plans that are now complete to the point of a 60-page document outlining the design, permitting, and use of the graywater system that we can now start detailing for the tropical dome specific designs.
Karl Harris (Architect Drafter, Designer, and founder of KH Designs) has also completed the first 3D renderings of the SEGO Center City Hub. Here is his initial 3D iteration of the cupola meditation and multi-media center that functions as the 4th floor of this building:

The hovering circle you see was for a possible shade overhang that we decided to drop during discussion on our weekly call. We are also converting the circular design to a much easier to duplicate hexagonal design, adding in pivot doors that will open up the east and west walls, and exploring different roof designs and how they support and integrate with our open source, sustainability, and self-sufficient teacher/demonstration village development plan.
Food Infrastructure for the Village Development Plan
Lastly, we have completed what we hope will be the final necessary drawing (see below) for the aquapini sustainable food infrastructure designs. We’ve got one more call with Avery Ellis (Aquaponics Specialist, owner/operator of Integrated Aquaponics, and our primary consultant on this component of One Community) and we should be ready to send these drawings to Doug Stenhouse (Architect and Water Color Artist) for the next evolution.

One Community Launches National Volunteer Campaign and Other Updates
One Community is happy to announce that we have launched a national nonprofit volunteer campaign in preparation for the release of our open source collaborative portal, to assist with our swiftly developing education program, and our on-going infrastructure details. In addition to world change, helping One Community comes with a lot of personal, business, and industry benefits too. We also created a page to share these benefits as part of the national campaign: Win Win Win Win Page

WIN WIN WIN WIN PHILOSOPHY
One Community is a Highest Good for All organization with a win-win-win-win philosophy:
- Planet
- People
- Industry
- One Community
We see prioritizing these in this order as the most effective method for creating a sustainable planet through gaining mainstream support. We see gaining mainstream support as the most effective method for building a new market interested in sustainability. We see mainstream interest in sustainability as the essential component for the success of all our sustainability partners and for global expansion of all sustainability related industries. Accomplishing these things is the foundation of our 4-phase strategy for world change and for creating self-sufficient and self-replicating teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities all over the world.

OTHER ONE COMMUNITY UPDATES
SEGO Center City Hub: We are now starting to create 3D renderings in CAD, working on finalizing the changing area and rinse area for the central natural pool and eco hot tub, moving the library off to the side so it has a view of the regeneration zone for the natural pool and adding a second floor loft above it, and working with our newest partner, Luis Rincon, to complete the engineering details for the central cupola.
Open Source Education Program for Life: We are within 1-2 weeks of being able to create the component pages to share more details on this program. Right now we are working to complete enough details of one component that includes curriculum, teaching styles, and teaching tools so that we can present all the components in a manner that is easily understandable. Three members of our core team are currently focusing on this aspect of One Community so we are progressing it very quickly and will share the results as we complete them.
Aquaponics Infrastructure: We’ve had meetings with Avery and Doug this past week and we’re drawing up what we hope will be the last drawing Doug needs to produce the first generation of professional plans. We’ll post them here as soon as they develop.
Pod 1: We’re now three weeks into the greywater processing design of the Tropical Dome. This is the first time we’ve shared anything about this here and we should have open source content for this and/or the associated water catchment designs within another week or two.
Other News:
We’ve also just completed significant updates to our Purpose, Values, and Mission Page including this new graphic:
Click image to visit our newly updated Purpose, Mission, Vision, and Values Page’s
We believe the most sustainable civilization is one that chooses to operate and live for the highest good of all of its people. This is our overarching philosophy and everything we do, and are working to create, is approached from this perspective because we believe that even a very small percentage of the population choosing to work together for The Highest Good of All has the ability to positively transform the world for everyone. From our perspective, Highest Good of All thinking can be divided into 3 simple values almost everyone learns as children: Care, Share, and Play.
The graphic above and the new updates to our Purpose, Values, and Mission Page have been designed to reflect these three simple values of Care, Share, and Play as we are creating synergy with our Open Source Education Program for Life and long-standing One Community components with a desire for a level of simplicity that makes sense to even the youngest people.

One Community Welcomes Luis Rincon to the SEGO Center City Hub Infrastructure Team
One Community is happy to welcome Civil Engineer Luis Rincon to the SEGO Center City Hub team. Luis is a Civil Engineering graduate from California State University with a minor in Psychology. Coming from a family of farmers greatly influenced and shaped Luis’ beliefs of shared responsibility for the common good. Because of his care for others, he began school majoring in Psychology, completed his AA, and then decided to focus on his academic strength in math and receiving his Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering in 2012. Luis believes strongly in sustainable living facilitated by ingenious designs as a path to reduced consumption and this, combined with our shared values of open source contribution and educating others, is what has led Luis to volunteer his knowledge and passion to the engineering aspects of the SEGO Center.

SEGO CITY HUB OVERVIEW ● THE SEGO CENTER DETAILS
Birth of the SEGO Center City Hub
The “Center of Peace” has evolved into the SEGO Center City Hub to represent the importance and function of this building in relation to our global change strategy, its relation to the 7 different sustainable village prototypes, and its intended purpose as a “launch point” for additional self-replicating sustainable teacher/demonstration communities, villages, and cities like One Community.
S.E.G.O. Center Origin
The name “sego” originated because one of our team was looking at 3-petaled flowers as we were searching for a new name and came across the sego lily and its likeness to the layout of the building:
The lily also represents “rebirth” and the sego lily is edible.
Building off of the “sego” name we came up with the SEGO acronym and attached it t0 “Center”:
S – Sustainably: Sustainability is one of the key foundations of what we are creating
E – Engaging: Our purpose is to engage the public and life itself with this model
G – Global: Affirming that our vision and purpose are global
O – Oneness: Affirming that our vision includes everyone and this building is about our “Oneness” as a foundation of living and creating for The Highest Good of All
Center: This building being the center of One Community and duplicable villages to be built around the world, and more specifically a “SEGO Center” specifically represents all of the above and we think these centers will be the first step for many duplicates to come after us that use our open source designs and may choose to keep the SEGO Center name.
