Intrinsic Value Is Our Path to Resilience
This page showcases two meaningful vocational pathways that pave the way towards an ideal, sustainable, regenerative lifestyle that is resilient to change and disruption.
In this new age, our new work centers around compassion, connection, and those things in life that are irreplaceable no matter what our external circumstances are technologically, environmentally, or geopolitically.
The three vocational endeavors presented are already in motion. I'm happy with where we are at, while simultaneously being inspired with where we can go.
Kriya House & Caring Heart

Normalize Compassion
Caring Heart and Kriya House are two organizations born from the same intention: to embody service to the whole.
Understanding and respecting each individual on their journey, the mission is to meet them where they are and naturally cultivate more peace.

Complementary Focus
While Caring Heart focuses on providing holistic, wide-ranging eldercare services, Kriya House is a "nonprofit ministry" registered under 508 licensing, with the mission to disseminate meditation practices, yoga and spiritual education.

A Shared Goal
These two entities aim to create a livelihood for its members that is moral, economically sustainable, and ecologically restorative. The long-term shared goal is to create a live-work environment where permaculture, health, and community living intersect.
Caring Heart LLC:
Caring Heart Webpage
Our short-term goal is for founders to create a vocation centered around meaningful service that carries intrinsic value and is economically sustainable. Whatever niche opportunity presents itself is how we will follow the path forward.
The long-term goal is to expand the network of caregivers and the community we serve, and meet the needs of more individuals on both sides of the giving and receiving. The services are what we provid are as follows:

Short-Term Goals

1

Confirm Need in the Community
Our first goal is to fill our schedules with the people we help. We can help 2-4 elders weekly with various services such as fall-prevention and functional movement exercise facilitation, help around the home, technology, and whatever other need arises.

2

Build Caregiver-Matching Platform
Once the need for these services is confirmed, we will develop a matchmaking App for care-givers and care-receivers. Create an App (perhaps using Replit.App) to match vetted and trained caregivers to people in need of services (focusing on elderly at Caring Hearts) as well as the comprehensive protocols for business, marketing, contractor relations and customer care.

3

Offer Holistic Care Services
Address not just physical needs but also emotional, spiritual, environmental, and lifestyle considerations, fostering true holistic care. The opportunities for service are endless if there truly is a need.
Kriya House
Meditation, Connection, Ceremony, and Integration
Mission & Goals
Kriya House promotes meditation practices at community gatherings, workshops given at various institutions, and discourse spread online. We offer events for community connection, music, integration and holistic coaching, and perhaps even products such as T-shirts, books, and plants. Our online and in-person course offerings can extend to local schools and organizations to support their populations social-emotional-spiritual education.
Spiritual Exploration
Kriya House revolves around embodying and encouraging mindfulness practices for increasing peace, love, calm, intelligence, wisdom, and joy.
The next evolutionary step for humans will be through the heart. We assist in this through exploration of scripture, comparative mysticism, self inquiry, and spiritual education.
Integration Support
We are a safe space of expression for the people who are often ostracized by mainstream biases. We help individuals who have had paranormal experiences or intense psychedelic realizations. We offer resources and practical tools in our multi-modal, holistic approach, through food, music, and compassionate, transformative life coaching.
Kriya House to Caring Heart
1
Network of Caring Hearts
Connections made at Kriya House and other temples introduces us to open-hearted people and mindfulness practitioners of various styles and modalities. Caregiving is a vocation available to anybody with the right heart and mindset, so we offer meaningful employment through contract work. We can guide Kriya House contacts to the Caring Heart matching program.
2
Psychedelic Renaissance
Psychedelics like psilocybin and 5-MEO-DMT have shown promise in easing end-of-life anxiety, making this a valuable exploration for the eldercare mission. We are supporters and activists in responsible, free access to these tools. Our referral network puts individuals in touch with facilitators, trip-sitters, integration coaches, nurses, doctors, and death doula's who can safely and effectively facilitate such experiences with the intention and purpose of healing any emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual imbalances.
3
Spiritual Exploration
Kriya House serves as a platform for discussions around the nature of reality, life, and death. We explore various practices of spirituality that work for every person. Our broad knowledge of various mystic or religious traditions as well as our comfort in the secular agnostic, atheist, academic, or scientific worlds allow us to tailor discourse to suit each individual. Whether a spiritual mystic or an atheist skeptic, there's a practice for anybody to engender more joy, peace, wisdom, love, and calm!

A Long-Term Vision for Resilience
The Land
  • We have access to 40 acres of land located in Strasburg, Colorado
  • The owner is open to shared-equity co-ownership models, as well as work-trade room & board options.
  • It is already equipped with a house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, water, electricity, internet, a shooting range, an outdoor ceremonial gathering place, an extensive trail, a semi-seasonal creek, and a large barn for entertainment and hosting events.

Why This Matters Now
Unknown Future
The world faces constant political, economic, and environmental changes.
Technological advancement will be economically disruptive and paradigm shifting.
If everything changes, what remains the same? What makes humans unique amidst man-made creations?
Health is Wealth
Growing your own food gives us the most valuable commodity we own: our health. Beyond fiat and cryptocurrency, food & water & shelter hold the most intrinsic, long-lasting value!
Food truly is medicine, and grocery stores are full of food-like products that do not prioritize health.
Decentralization and the sensitive supply chain are a real threat.
Resiliency
Let's create a self-sustaining food forest with revenue potential and housing options.
Vocations and lifestyles must provide intrinsic value, such as caring for the needs of others
By keeping one foot in the old world and one foot in the unknown future world, we can plan for long-term growth and create evolutionary models for financial sustainability, no matter what happens.
Dual-purpose:
Personal Security
Offer a safe haven for residents and community investors and partners during uncertain times, such as economic disruptions caused by A.G.I, cryptocurrency, war, pandemics, or environmental disruptions.
Revenue and Growth Potential
Generate income through wellness-focused offerings (online and in-person), hosting various events, and creating products through resources grown through sustainable agricultural endeavors.

Holistic Health Modalities
Advanced Wellness Services
Our complementary wellness program will start with alkaline diet and safe detoxification protocols. As our services expand, we would like to add more services to the menu for retreatants that could significantly improve their health.
Alkaline Diet
Alkaline diets emphasize plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds to reduce systemic acidity. While the body naturally regulates pH, research suggests an alkaline diet may reduce inflammation, improve bone health, and support kidney function. Its emphasis on whole, nutrient-dense foods makes it beneficial for overall health and chronic disease management.
Yoga
Mindfulness practices have robust evidence supporting their ability to reduce stress, improve mental health, and lower inflammation. Regular practice has been shown to enhance focus, emotional resilience, and even slow biological aging through positive impacts on cellular health and gene expression.
Gut Biome Optimization
Targeted probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary strategies focus on enhancing gut health, which is linked to immunity, mental health, and chronic disease prevention. Research suggests that improving the microbiome can reduce inflammation, support mood stability, and even influence metabolic health.
Cold Plunges
Cold water immersion has been shown to reduce inflammation, enhance recovery, and improve circulation. Studies suggest it can boost mood by increasing dopamine levels and reduce muscle soreness post-exercise. Regular cold plunges may also enhance immune function and build resilience to stress through hormetic adaptation.
Infrared Saunas
Infrared saunas penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and boost collagen production. Studies show its benefits for skin rejuvenation, muscle recovery, and pain relief. Infrared heat is also associated with improved skin health and reduced symptoms of stress and fatigue.
Sound Healing
Sound baths, tuning forks, and singing bowls use sound frequencies to promote relaxation and energy balance. Preliminary studies show they can reduce anxiety and improve heart rate variability. Although more research is needed, sound healing aligns with the emerging science of bioresonance.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic massage supports the body’s detoxification by improving lymph flow. Studies indicate benefits for reducing swelling, boosting immunity, and enhancing recovery from surgeries or chronic illnesses. It's a gentle yet powerful technique for promoting overall health.
Hyperbaric Oxygen
HBOT delivers high-pressure oxygen, helping to promote tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and improve oxygen delivery to cells. It is clinically validated for treating wounds, certain neurological conditions, and decompression sickness. Emerging studies also suggest benefits for brain health, immune function, and recovery from traumatic injuries.
PEMF
Pulsed electromagnetic frequency therapy has been scientifically validated for promoting bone regrowth, improving circulation, and supporting cellular repair. It is FDA-approved for bone healing and managing non-union fractures. Research also suggests potential benefits for reducing pain, enhancing energy levels, and improving overall cellular function.
Sensory Deprivation tank
Float therapy involves floating in a sensory-free tank filled with saltwater, promoting deep relaxation. Research suggests it can reduce stress, improve sleep, and relieve chronic pain by calming the nervous system.
Herbal Medicine
Herbs like turmeric (curcumin), Lions Mane, and St. John’s Wort are supported by evidence for reducing inflammation, improving mental health, and supporting the immune system. Combining ancient wisdom with modern research, herbal medicine remains a powerful complementary modality.
Energy Arts
While not fully understood scientifically, energy medicine practices like Shumei Jyorei, Reiki, and Qigong are associated with reduced stress, improved mood, and enhanced overall well-being. Anecdotal and pilot studies point to their value in holistic healing.
