Episode 246

Play episode

In this special presentation from Exit and Build 5 at Polyface Farm, River and Imani of Haven Village share one of the most compelling real-world examples of Exit and Build in action.

This was actually the first time I heard them fully explain the shift toward their sub-trust model — where each neighborhood inside Haven Village operates with its own trust structure while remaining connected to the broader mission and stewardship of the land.

Honestly… my mind was blown.

This is next-level thinking around regenerative community design, private governance, stewardship, and long-term resilience.

In this presentation, River and Imani break down:

• The evolution of Haven Village
• Why they shifted toward the sub-trust model
• How private trusts and PMAs fit into regenerative communities
• Lessons learned building a real-world freedom community
• Governance, stewardship, and protecting mission alignment
• What’s working — and what they’ve had to adapt along the way

If you care about intentional communities, private realm structures, regenerative living, homesteading, sovereignty, or Exit and Build strategy… this is a must-watch.

River and Imani will also be speaking and hosting workshops at Exit and Build 6 this November 5–8 at Sovereignty Ranch in Bandera, Texas.
