Fellowship of the Cosmic Mind
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The Fellowship strives to find practical solutions to the problems of interpersonal and group strife through spiritual methods of community-building and personal development. This includes reinvigorating old traditions and practices by making them relevant for today, promoting the development of virtues, and taking on responsibility - what in the past has been called the imitation of Christ.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
FOTCM's long term goal is to establish self-sufficient Paleo-Christian communities around the world that:
--reflect our philosophy that "Life is Religion,"
--facilitate the ongoing search for knowledge, truth, and higher connection, and
--exemplify the cooperative spirit of community life and service to others beyond ourselves.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
FOTCM has three established, long-term Paleo-Christian communities which prove daily, by example, the successful embodiment of Paleo-Christian principles paired with the cooperative nature of like-minded individuals. It is our intent to increase our footprint by duplicating this sustainable-living model in other areas of the world. Additional properties are currently under consideration in France, USA and Mexico.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
FOTCM has a wide range of professional members around the globe who are looking for ways to contribute their skills and time to create community living spaces, and are able to pledge a portion of the needed capital for each new facility.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have an up and running, successful, self-sufficient religious community prototype. We have many interested members around the world who have expressed the desire to create similar communities and contribute to the costs of purchase and renovations with donations or expertise. We have acquired our next European property and have begun renovations. We are close to determining the next USA location, and are currently evaluating a possible property in Mexico. We are looking for funding, in-kind donations and building expertise to create sustainable living residences connected by a common area for food preparation, religious study and group activities, with acreage for organic crops and livestock.
