What we do

One connection, a lifetime of companionship. Pursue ideals, pursue wisdom, and make the world better because of me!
IdealCity Club is a collectively owned community university and big family that inspires everyone to pursue ideals and wisdom. It encourages each person to become a well-rounded generalist through self-directed learning. It is an online-to-offline community “university + family” covering learning, daily life, work, entertainment, and entrepreneurship.
Mission:Wisdom for everyone; ideals for everyone.
Vision:Achieve shared wisdom and shared prosperity.
Values:Patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendliness; openness, sharing, growth, and love.
We promote sincerity, mutual support, friendship, and happiness among people. We help everyone save time by organizing two key life-and-growth charts and a curated list of excellent books as a team—encouraging members to spend their precious time reading more and reading better books. By retracing the “Long March” of learning, members build lifelong learning habits, develop comprehensive capabilities (listening, speaking, reading, writing, thinking; planning, discerning, acting, checking, upgrading), and become fully developed individuals in morality, intellect, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor—able to discern right from wrong, live in harmony, pass on kindness, and uphold truth—while building an independent system of thought and understanding. They accumulate wisdom and wealth, navigate the overwhelming tides of information, products, and technology with greater ease, create a high-quality and fulfilling life, and ultimately achieve shared prosperity.

Do you feel called to help co-create a small, newly forming eco-spiritual community?

Old structures are crumbling. New ways of living are calling. We are answering that call. Wild Grace is an eco-spiritual community located in the Sierra foothills 30 minutes from Grass Valley, California. We recently completed new homes for those who feel called to our vision. Currently there are four of us living on this sacred 80 acres of land although we are a hub for an expanded neighborhood community. Many join us weekly for potlucks, expressive dance, Qi Gong, monthly musical gatherings, and seasonal celebrations in our temple, as well as tending to our orchard. We are excited to welcome others to join us on the land who are dedicating their lives to spiritual growth and ready to live in a more focused and intimate heart-centered lifestyle. Might that be you or someone you know? The fundamentals are simple. Spirit. We listen personally and collectively together most mornings, usually starting with a musical offering, a prayer, or a short reading, followed by about 40 minutes of what we call “sacred silence.” Heart Circles. About once a week we gather to share and listen. We are informed by authentic and compassionate communication practices. Nature. The land itself—an 80-acre oasis of field and forest perched above the wild and scenic South Yuba River—calls for our stewardship in the gardens, orchard, greenhouses, and general care. In turn, nature feeds us abundantly, both literally and spiritually. Interbeing. We join with others to share inspiration and connection as we host monthly gatherings of song, story and prayer that draws from the larger community in addition to other events we share with our closer neighbors. As we attend to these fundamentals, Grace flows to and through us—often in “Wild” or unexpected ways. Grace catalyzes through us, but is not something we possess. Because we all are connected, we feel that Grace actively transforms n
