Everything from our homes to our groceries is becoming a battlefield for survival. The modern economy is squeezing life out of the most basic human necessities: shelter, food, and stability.

But Edenia offers another path. One where sovereignty, soul family, and sacred living reshape the narrative from scarcity to prosperity by design.

1. The Housing Crisis: A Generation Locked Out

As of 2024, homeownership has become nearly impossible for Gen Z and many Millennials. According to a recent report from Redfin, the median home price in the U.S. has reached $420,000, a record high. Coupled with rising interest rates and a national shortage of affordable housing, fewer than 26% of Gen Z adults say they believe they’ll ever own a home.

Rents have also skyrocketed. In cities like New York, San Francisco, the average rent now exceeds $3,400+/month for modest apartments. While the nationwide average is $1,600 per month. In 2019 renters spent around 22% of their income on rent, fast forward to 2024 and that has almost doubled to 44%. In 2025, it is even worse, at 57%.

This isn’t just a housing crisis. It’s a generational dispossession.

2. Groceries Becoming Luxury Goods

Between 2020 and 2024, food prices rose by over 25%, according to USDA data. Eggs, bread, dairy, and fresh produce have all seen record-breaking inflation. For many families, fresh organic food is becoming unaffordable.

This is not sustainable. It forces people to buy lower quality, processed food that degrades health and increases long-term medical costs.

We’re witnessing the commodification of survival.

3. Edenia's Solution: Micro-Villages of Sovereignty and Soul

Many have already taken big steps to realizing their version of co-living within eco-villages

But Edenia plans on evolving these eco-village models by incorporating sacred design principles while utilizing the same megalithic geopolymer construction technique as the ancients

Edenia offers a response that doesn’t just resist collapse, but transcends it.

We are building micro-communities called KINdoms, where multiple families or individuals co-invest in land, share high-quality resources, and build timeless, geopolymer-based dwellings. These aren’t communes, they are sovereignty-centered ecosystems.

Our formula:

Co-housing: cuts land and building costs by 50–80%.

Permaculture gardens: replace grocery stores.

Sacred architecture: replaces soulless, disposable housing.

Together, we rise.

4. The Power of Geopolymer: Better, Stronger, Cheaper, Forever

The Osirion in Egypt is perhaps the oldest megalithic site in all of Egypt and still standing today!

Modern construction is expensive, toxic, and temporary. Edenia replaces it with geopolymer megalithic masonry, a time-tested material used by ancient civilizations for temples that have lasted 10,000+ years.

Benefits of geopolymer over modern concrete:

80–90% lower carbon footprint.

Earthquake/fire/hurricane proof.

Requires no steel reinforcement.

Zero off-gassing or chemical leaching.

Permanent and does not degrade in decades like Portland cement!

This ancient method was so durable and reliable it was prolific and easily replicated around the world

[Reference: Joseph Davidovits, “Geopolymer Chemistry and Applications,” 4th Ed.]

As Edenian homes age, they will increase in spiritual and aesthetic value, becoming temples, not liabilities.

5. Cost Savings Breakdown: Why Edenia Is Affordable

Compared to traditional housing development:

Land costs will be shared among 5–20 people.

Materials sourced locally: volcanic ash, clay, etc.

No need for HVAC systems: geopolymer retains heat/cold naturally.

No costly repairs or replacements every 15–30 years!

Gardens offset food bills by up to 80% annually.

Communal tools and systems reduce overhead drastically.

Example: A $400,000 house in the city could be replaced with a $35,000–$70,000 Edenia dwelling, all with no mortgage debt.

6. Growing Food, Not Just Homes

Each Edenia site integrates regenerative agriculture with geomantic planting methods. Using electroculture, composting, seed saving, and permaculture design, together we can create gardens that yield high-nutrient food with minimal inputs.
