About this Settlement

A Kin’s Domain is a 2.5 acre piece of Earth where a family creates a living Paradise garden home for themselves and their (future) children, to pass on in perpetuity. Your Kin’s Domain is your connection to God and the Universe, and the Space of your family for generations to come.

“Let each one of us take a small plot of his land [one hectare], pull his whole mind and whole spirituality together and create a very small but concrete Paradise. He will transform his little piece of land on our large planet into a flourishing garden, giving a material embodiment to his spirituality, following God’s example.
