Using ◹ Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a guide: 🌅ParadiseMakers™ are integrating structures and systems into landscapes that solve directly for human needs, creating natural, climate-resilient, zero-cost-of-living habitats.
Why We Build:
Solving the Root of the Crisis
The world is facing a metacrisis, with our environment, economy, and societies stretched to their breaking point.
The lifestyle choices of billions of people—many of which are dictated by a lack of alternative options—are at the heart of many global crises. Our dependence on grocery stores for food, fossil fuel-based infrastructure, and cities that disconnect us from nature all contribute to environmental degradation, resource depletion, and a loss of well-being.
At The Maslow Initiative, we believe that by redesigning human settlements to secure basic physiological needs—food, water, shelter, and energy—at their source, we can solve many of these issues. Our approach integrates human needs into the landscape, eliminating downstream problems like pollution, inequality, and resource scarcity.
By shifting away from resource-extractive systems and creating regenerative lifestyles, we can move from survivalism to thrivalism, building a future where humans and nature prosper together.
What We Do:
Securing the Foundations of Life
At the heart of The Maslow Initiative is the creation of landscapes that provide for human needs.

However, securing physiological needs is just the beginning. We believe that true freedom comes from abundance, where all human needs are met. Our developments lay the foundation for self-sufficient living, but that's only the first step.
Over time, we prioritise integrating spaces that enrich the human experience:
🧑🏫 schools, 🫂 community centres, 🧘 yoga studios, 🧖 saunas, 🏕️ camp sites by the river, 🗿 land art, 🐎 horse riding trails, 📽️ cinemas, 🛖 retreat spaces, 🧑🎨 artist hubs, 🧑💻co-working worlds, 📖 libraries, 🪜 workshop spaces, 🎸 instrument and recording studios, 🥻clothes making & repair shops, 🪩 event and dance spots, 🎡 carnival areas, ⛲️ public fountains, 🔭 space & 🔬 science exploration buildings, 🥎 sports courts, 🎣 fishing ponds, 🎪 circuses, 🛋️ community lounges, 📚 libraries, ☕️ coffee stops, 🛝 playgrounds, 🧺 laundry services, 🚵♀️ bicycle tracks, 🧗 rock climbing routes, 🏟️ amphitheatres, 🥙 cooking classes & kitchens, ⛰️ mountain trails, 🏘️ interconnected living spaces, and so on, the possibilities are endless.
Our vision goes beyond survival; we’re building environments that nurture creativity, community, wellness, and personal growth. By securing the basics in abundance first, we set people free to thrive in every aspect of life.
How We Create Paradise:
A Blueprint for Abundance
Our approach combines everything from Permaculture to Syntropic Agroforestry, from open-source technology to real life community building to create physically real zero-cost-of-living environments.
By developing properties with food forests, water systems, off-grid energy, and a variety of modular homes and community structures, we empower individuals to live comfortably, sustainably and regenerate the land at the same time.
Creating a real-time, real-world strategy game
🗺️ ParadiseDashboard™
Our digital platform, the 🗺️ ParadiseDashboard™ is currently starting development.
This platform is a real-time massively multiplayer online global game that takes place on a map of the earth. It allows people to invest in real-world assets, structures and systems—properties, trees, tools, swales, buildings, etc—that help regenerate the land and make paradise. Those assets will reflect 1:1 with real assets used by 🌅 ParadiseMakers™ on the ground planting those trees, implementing those systems and developing those properties. Every assets will be tagged with a QR code, allowing anyone with a cellphone to scan, take a photo, and update the owner of those assets as they are being used, planted or grown: over time, and in real-time. Every update is tweeted, every asset has a history, every paradise making event is live. Assets can be named, form part of a collection of assets, and later be resold or traded for fun.
Its exactly like having inventory in a game of Age Of Empires or Civilization, except its tangibly taking place in the real world.
The purpose and goal of the game is simple: Paradise on earth for all. If the news becomes positive and the world outside your window is wonderful, the rivers and forests are restored and growing, and the future is bright for generations to come… the game will have achieved its desired outcome.
Every fruit or nut tree planted, every pond dug, and every off-grid home built brings us all closer to a world where humans and nature, inseparable as they are, live in balance and abundance.
