www.espheriashram.com is about creating real human-scale cooperative community: its fundamental basis, how it is time, money, and energy-saving, off-the-grid, safe (virtually disaster-proof), secure (strength in numbers) homes, with consistent, responsible, and loving care by your own people, birth-to-death.
In an increasingly unstable world threatened by economic and political collapse, imagine a beautiful, safe, secure, supportive, human-scale (small) community environment of only like-minded friends and relatives—off the grid, virtually disaster-proof, and with its own year-round food supply. Espheria!

REAL Cooperative Community
Escaping Financial Disaster and Living a Safe, Secure, Human-Scale Life—For Real
The “divide-and-conquer” days of separate family homes are over. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution (around 1760), we have been living progressively isolated lives, enslaved in perpetual debt as fearful, vulnerable consumers, struggling to survive, ever more dependent on government and Big Corporate. It’s all we have known. But now, increasingly, people are gathering locally to share their energies for mutual benefit—strength in numbers.
Meanwhile, commercial builders are creating larger family homes to accommodate our elders. The ancient and more efficient realities of co-housing and intentional communities—a step above large homes—are now enjoying a renaissance. Reason: community! We need community, but we also need our privacy. How can we have both? In the intervening centuries since the Industrial Revolution began, we have lost our sense of how to live harmoniously, even with like-minded others. Enter Espheria!
A big step above co-housing, Espheria is a unique small cooperative community (CoOpCom) design that answers the questions of privacy vs. community, how to avoid natural and human-made disasters, and managing basic needs. A whole host of our problems solved—and freedoms restored.
True Cooperative Community (Espheria style) is…
- Our best opportunity for real human growth—even the highest
- Full instructions and guidance on cooperation and harmonious living
- Everything handled thru agreements with your own people, your loved ones
- Responsibility and accountability in intimate association with our chosen others
- Maximum use of—and a chance to hone—those special skills and abilities
- Far less expensive than the common divide-and-conquered living
- All basic human needs and obligations handled, birth to death
- Off-the-grid, Nature-compatible, pet-safe, disaster-proof living
- Not a social ideal about communalism, but a living discipline
- More time and energy for rest, relaxation, and creativity
- Safe, secure, life-positive, entirely friendly environments
- Built-in childcare and eldercare, and much more!
