The Spring Valley Freedom Lodge
Revelations of Freedom
The Vision for The Lodge
The Vision for The Freedom Lodge was born as I began to mature as a young man, beginning to steward my family land. After a couple years of managing this house, I began to build a community here. Providing affordable housing to friends and hosting creative events cultivated a lively community of good company and good times.
​
This motley crew of scalawags, artists, philosophers, and knights began to grow. This Lodge is likened to a lighthouse to those in Waco, Texas
who seek authentic connection and meaningful experiences… a place to genuinely feel free to be yourself and in good company!
​
The Freedom Lodge naturally evolved, both the property and the initiative alike. The standards began to rise, the quality of experiences improved, the community grew, and the property perpetually enhanced.
​
I’ve been doing my best to sustain and develop operations and amenities with my limited budget of time & capital. That is partly why I established the Freedom Lodge as a nonprofit organization.
​
Ultimately, I have ambitious goals for developing this property into a community homestead/micro eco-village. Building self sustainable tiny houses, more pad sites, cultivating an abundant community garden and Apiary, marketplace , stage, animal pens, grow our flocks, and develop our community amenities in general.
​​​​​​​​
The chief definite goal here with the Freedom Lodge is to serve as a flagship community concept to expand upon and scale. After successfully achieving proof of concept and maturity as an organization, we will be prepared to acquire and expand on more land. Eventually investing in holistic real estate developments, establishing eco-villages, planting food forests, building a farm and expanding our farmers market, hosting big festivals and events, and so much more.
​
Over the years, this vision has become more clear. It’s been a driving force for me to learn, lead, & grow in way that progresses me in that direction. ​​​​​​​​
​
Now, everything is coming together. The Freedom Lodge has been formerly established as a 508(c)(1)(a) FBO PMA Unincorporated Ecclesiastical Trust in March of 2025, resulting from years of research and development and countless all-nighters of work. Through the years of blood, sweat, & tears, all the battles I’ve fought, all the doubt, criticism, and dark nights of the soul I’ve endured, initiating my self to rise to the occasion- The Lodge has revealed my purpose and it is is my duty to fulfill it gloriously.
​
I’m so passionate and determined because I realized this vision like it was indeed a revelation of purpose. Contemplating earnestly to discover how I can best serve my community and bring value, has revealed the dream of The Freedom Lodge.
​
This ambitious mission I’ve surmounted is achieved through the development of the Freedom Lodge.

On this land, we will create a sanctuary;​
A place where bees flourish, children play in fields of wildflowers, regenerative gardens yield abundance, where music & laughter echo through the halls, where hands are warmed around the campfire, where belly’s & cups are full, where warriors train and athletes play, where the marketplace of local vendors flourishes and entrepreneurial ventures prosper, where families unite and elders pass on their wisdom. This vision is made manifest here at The Lodge, and it will be glorious.
​
This vision is why set fourth on this initiative,
Because I want more of this for my community.
My desire it to create a legacy that transcends me, where systems are built to ensure prosperity for our posterity.
​​​​​​​​​​​
I want the Freedom Lodge Flagship to set sail and scale gloriously. The neighboring acreage is for sale, nearly a hundred acres of fertile land that 6 generations of my family tended to. I’ve grown up on this land, exploring the forests and wandering the fields. Dreaming of the day I bear the honor to steward this land, now IT's dawn illuminates my horizon.
+40 houses, sustainable infrastructure, food forests, concert venue, arboretum & apiary, farm to table restaurants & marketplaces for the community, workshop, holistic health clinic, a community center, and more..
​
The dream isn’t done there, that’s just stage two… The sky is the limit for what is possible and the value we could offer the community abroad.
​
But I need to refrain from trying to see too far ahead, my eyes are focused on the work at hand. Taking care of one project and one event at a time, and staying on the path - step by step.
​
The course has been planned, the ship is worthy and we’ve got a good crew, we’ve set sail and now the real journey has begun. The odyssey of a lifetime awaits, filled with adventure and wonder.
​By the flame of this dream that lights The Path ahead,
I ignite the Lighthouse of This Lodge-
The Beacon is Lit!
​
If you seek more authentic connections and meaningful experiences on your odyssey of life, you’ll discover good company and explore the glorious horizons with us.
