This community is designed as a living example of a more conscious way of life—one that prioritizes cooperation, integrity, and long-term well-being. Its structure balances practicality with vision: homes are built to last for generations, resources are shared rather than hoarded, and conflicts are resolved through truth-centered discernment rather than power.
By creating a physical place where individuals can live with clarity, purpose, and care for one another, the community demonstrates that another way of living is not only possible but practical. While it operates within the frameworks of today’s society, its guiding intention is unwavering: to serve as a model of life rooted in what endures beyond change.
Top of the World exists to show that another way of living is not only possible, but practical. It is a community designed to stand as an example—resilient, cooperative, and enduring.

Resident Investment: Homes are rented or leased long-term, providing financial stability without mortgages or debt.

Individual Responsibility: Each household is responsible for its own contributions; service to the community is encouraged but voluntary.

Security & Continuity: If needed, safety and administrative roles may be paid or permanent positions to ensure ongoing community function.
Financial Freedom: Residents are free to leave at any time, provided obligations are met in advance, and the community minimizes debts among members.
