The Capital Campaign listed below is a summary as of January 2022. As our vision continues to grow and the timing of beginning each project will be adjusted.  The phases that are listed below are based upon several factors: current needs, ease of completion, the extent of the work required, and the financing 

 

 IMPORTANT NOTE:  In the fall of  2020 the guidance came through for creating a  Caretaker Community as being vitally important for the success of Natures Gate. It is an important goal for 2022  to determine the type of housing and facilities needed and then prioritize that into this Capital Campaign.

​

Phase 1

Ceremonial altar enhancement to the south of the gazebo.  ( the original design was for a simple Grecian gazebo, but that has now expanded into a larger outdoor Sanctuary center resurrecting the Oracles at Delphi and focused on Divine Governance.)
