Founder's Message '26

Dear Friend,

Happy New Year!

This month marks two years since I began building GAIA NOVA. It has been a grueling pleasure to build this organization, distilling the gigantic vision of creating A New Earth into two practical projects capable of making the world a better place.

The process has been one of sleepless nights, full of designing, writing, learning, visualizing, and dreaming… I have spoken to experts in the fields of philanthropy, business, government, fashion, design, marketing, and land development; been rejected and doubted, applauded, offered more help than I could have asked for, made friends, and met partners.

Every month for the last two years, I wrote a newsletter to you all, my friends who believe in the vision of A New Earth, sharing the philosophy behind GAIA NOVA, the context for its need, and some good news happening in the world. But in the months closing 2025, the gravity of these projects weighed especially heavily upon me. I was dismayed to realize that although we have a brand (and it does look and feel awesome), GAIA NOVA has, for the last two years, accomplished almost nothing in the world.

Two years of operating at a loss and from my own pocket, selling hoodies and tee shirts. $0 sent to the charities we want to see expand, including our own, Children of Gaia Nova. Theowater still not in production; Zero sales, $0 raised to build the business. Newsletters full of interesting ideas and pretty prose, but lacking news of our actions.

In 2026, that’s all going to change. This is a year a year of action and actualization. We’ll officially launch Theowater into production, available online and in stores. It’s all prepared for that to happen on the back end; and a compassionate economy within the GAIA NOVA ecosystem has been created, where a portion of Theowater’s profits are directed to Children of Gaia Nova, who will use these funds to:

Begin designing the first temple-orphanage.

Redistribute donations to Share Tanzania, whose mission is to bring hope and support to special needs children in developing countries. GAIA NOVA views the expansion of Share Tanzania’s work as absolutely imperative to the creation of The New Earth.

Everything is ready, and GAIA NOVA is well positioned to do everything we dream about. But to make it happen, I genuinely need your help. To push our projects into the world, Theowater needs $10,000. This money will:

Professionalize the Theowater website and make it sales-ready.

Finalize the Theowater label.

Reconfigure the GAIA NOVA homepage to demonstrate our mission in a way that will drive sales and donations.

Empower us to purchase the first palette of Theowater.

Please consider contributing to Theowater through GoFundMe. Any amount you can share will be gratefully applied to making our vision into something tangible before March, this year. If you are interested in investment options, please reply to this email, and I will send you the details regarding options for reimbursement.

I hope that every single one of you has the most beautiful year of your life, and that your dreams actualize in coordination with your intentions and actions.

With a lot of Love,

David W. Black, DC
