The Mission
The Living Company is a community designed to promote family and community by teaching individuals how to better serve themselves and others.
The Living Company aims to reduce addiction, homelessness and incarceration by building communities for individuals suffering from addiction or any other mental condition that leads to homelessness or incarceration and teaching four key aspects of life, responsibility, perspective, character/values and selfless service to others.
​
When an individual leaves The Living Company we hope he or she does so with the tools to face any negative or stressful life experience with responsibility, a positive perspective and courage.
The first thing an addict or anyone must do to solve uncomfortable life situations is take full responsibility. Fault is not the same as responsibility.
The most simple guideline to a good set of values is to always have the intention to do right by others and the courage to admit when you've done wrong.
To have a positive outcome for any situation you have to have a positive perspective, focus on the solution and take positive action.
Service to Others
Happiness and fulfilment in life come from building strong, positive relationships. The best way to do that is to serve others without expecting anything in return.
The Vission
The Living Company a Therapeutic Community is a self sustaining community for addicts and the homeless and anyone else struggling in life; as well as a community outreach center that teaches individuals to be self sustaining.
TLCTC will be both an open and closed community. We will provide accommodations for anyone on any part of their life journey so long as they are willing to commit to participating in community education activities and contribute to the community. No one stays for free but we do not require you to come with money.
​
The Living Company TC invites anyone from the community to participate in our community. We aim to host regular community events like farmers markets, community social gatherings and life skills workshops for everyone.
The How
If you can teach an individual to control their mind, they can control their life. Meditation is the quickest way to a healthy mind. A healthy mind is the quickest way to a happy, healthy, prosperous life.
