"The Winding Road Journey" is a chronicle of our community’s effort to find our way toward greater cohesiveness, autonomy and empowerment.

The winding path entails many twists and turns unexpected—sometimes challenging, sometimes exciting and always surprising—leading the journeyers to destinations greater though yet unknown.

May our Greater World adventure be an inspiring guide (or cautionary tale) to inform your own epic adventure toward collective empowerment and communal sovereignty.

"We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own."

-Cesar Chavez

"TAC Mag" is a digital periodical dedicated to the revitalization of the human spirit through greater connection with the awe and wonder of Life.

TAC is an invitation into more expansive awareness and curiosity about our weird and wonderful world as an antidote to the disease of rigid thinking and cynicism that limits our perception of what is possible and ultimately hinders our evolution.

TAC is an honoring and celebration of what it means to be truly and fully human seeking greater realization of our higher potential as authentic and empowered individuals while learning to be fully present with and for one another as a diverse collective.

The acronym TAC stands for To Avoid Corruption and/or To Align with Consciousness. Either and both ways, the endeavor remains the same: to re-engage the human spirit in conscious co-creation of a new renaissance for our modern era.

TAC mag is included as a branch piece of the GWCC as it serves a complementary aspect to the GWCC’s shared aims.

Greater World Uni is a low-cost membership offering practical knowledge for those endeavoring to live a more sustainable, adaptive and independent lifestyle with a particular focus on sovereignty and off-grid sustainability.

Greater World Uni is taught and guided by seasoned members of the GW and other pioneer Earthship builders and concept developers. Basic principles are focused on building and maintaining off-grid housing according to the established Earthship model along with complementary guidance on living sustainably, co-efficiently and co-effectively in communal collaboration with others.

The GWCC web shop includes everything from handmade goods and creative works (made by our local community members) to indoor gardening and pest abatement products, inspiring and instructional books, off-grid tools, supplies and schematics… all curated to support your sovereign earth warrior journey.

Sage Woman Tea & Spice Co. is our online tea and spice shop. It represents our collaborations with sovereign sister communities globally as well as our local Taos artisans.

Our dream is to more fully manifest this concept into a physical tea house café located within the original Greater World residential community in northern New Mexico. Through our completely off-grid tea house we hope to provide a beautiful example of what earthship philosophy has to offer while empowering our community members to support themselves locally and have a place to meet and mingle with visitors and one another.

Sage Woman Tea House vision:

The most pinnacle aspects of earthship design are incorporated into and demonstrated through the building for all visitors to directly experience and be inspired by.

An open dining room creates a sense of greater community among all who enter. Light-filled and shadow-dappled with the presence of abundant foliage, the space represents a play of earth, fire, water and air united to bring about a profound sense of playful interconnectedness.

From our traditional Horno brick ovens for cooking to our tranquil fish ponds feeding our greywater gardens which supply all our local vegetal fare and then… grey water-fed systems that support the magnificent foliage outside our grand windows framing great vistas of the Sanger de Cristo mountains, Taos Mesa and our expansive sky. The beauty of this efficiently interrelated system is a reminder to us of our most fundamental and nourishing connections with nature and one another.

Join us in Summer months for movie nights on our patio dining area where our spectacular sky above also provides its own show.

To bring a bit of this experience home with you and share with others, we offer our sweet lavender and savory brown butter sage tea biscuits as well as our spices, handcrafted teas and locally made tea wares via our web shop.

“Sovereign Minds Forum” is a digital interface established to facilitate the sharing of ideas and productive exchanges between our local and global GWCC members as well as with other small collectives, organizations, groups and individuals dedicated to supporting the sovereignty of small and self-governed communities worldwide.
