What we do

Bigfoot Nature Fellowship is a Florida‑based nonprofit that blends voluntaryism, permaculture, and spiritual ecology to help people live more freely and in harmony with nature. Through workshops, food forests, retreats, and online media, we teach regenerative living, food sovereignty, and self‑reliance inspired by Taoist principles, animism, and the “Bigfoot” spirit of wild autonomy. Join our mission to awaken, grow your own food, and reconnect with the land—explore events and resources today!

Our Mission

We Are BIGFOOT NATURE FELLOWSHIP
A Movement to Reclaim Our Sacred Connection To Nature
We demonstrate through education, media, activism, and living examples that human beings can thrive in harmony with nature and with one another through voluntary cooperation, permaculture stewardship, and spiritual awakening—without coercion, government control, or systemic dependency.
Bigfoot represents what we’re reclaiming: The human being harmonized with nature. Living freely. Not requiring permission. Self-reliant. In reciprocal relationship with all beings. Elusive to systems of control.
This isn’t about believing in or worshipping a cryptid—it’s about awakening the Bigfoot within ourselves. That part of humanity that remembers how to live wild, free, wise, and in balance with the living world.
We’re not theorizing another way. We’re demonstrating it. Through real food forests, real media, real communities, and real transformation. We’re showing people that freedom from coercive systems isn’t just philosophical—it’s practical, filmable, and shareable.
Bigfoot Food Forest is our flagship 5-acre project nestled in New Port Richey, FL. It is the community center brainchild of world-renowned Bigfoot researcher Ryan “RPG” Golembeske (yes, he’s been on TV!) and the ever-resourceful author and content creator Cory Endrulat, who’s been rallying the community one event at a time. We’re not just another group of dreamers—we’re a beacon of hope, fun, and untaught ideas, dedicated to showing the world that solutions to its biggest problems can be found right here among friends, food, and a dash of mystery. Entirely independent and powered by passionate community members, we’re paving the way to a future filled with abundance, education, and true freedom. We want to demonstrate how “food not lawns” can be implemented at every church, prison, school, park and community space.

Looking for: people building relational capacity, with a view to community

What’s here now: An intention, a framework developed over five years, and a programme running in central Victoria to find people to build with. No land, no group, no timeline. The question this is organised around: What makes a community of people living together sustainable over decades – where people enjoy being there, conflict is low, and the conflict that does arise gets handled in ways people value. The distinctive premise is capacity before formation. Most communities form first and build relational skill afterwards, usually under pressure. This one proposes doing it the other way round: people build the capacities first, and the group forms from people who have them. That includes a working idea about collective capacity – that a group has a ratio, and below some threshold it can’t metabolise its own conflict and starts consuming itself. Roughly: in a group of twenty, perhaps three or four with high capacity, most in the middle, and very few without. Untested, and something this project exists to find out. Governance: Sociocracy, with the intention of testing it meaningfully at scale rather than adopting it nominally. What’s actually happening: A three-week residency at a property near Castlemaine, and a practice group running before it. The medium-term aim is twenty to forty people at a rented facility. The long-term aim is a support hub sharing the framework more widely. What I’m looking for: People who want to build this capacity seriously, and who might eventually want to build something together. Not necessarily people who want to live here – the current property probably isn’t the long-term site. Happy to hear from anyone this resonates with, including people already in community who’d rather share what they’ve learned than join anything.
