Journey to Eden: Co-Creating Heaven on Earth

From Vision to Reality — Co-Creating Heaven on Earth

A NuVo World is not a metaphor.
It is not a fantasy.
It is not an abstract idea waiting for someday.

A NuVo World is being built—here, now, in real streets and real lives—by Ross Harvey and a growing community of builders, artists, technologists, believers, and everyday heroes who have chosen hope over despair and creation over collapse.

This is the living heart behind Journey to Eden.
This is the world the game teaches—and the world we are practicing into existence.

What Is a NuVo World?

A NuVo World is a personally and collectively cultivated environment where heaven’s values are lived out on earth—intentionally, creatively, and courageously.

It is a world where:

• Creativity replaces consumption

• Purpose replaces pressure

• Community replaces isolation

• Stewardship replaces exploitation

• Faith expresses itself through action

In a NuVo World, people do not escape reality—they heal it.
They do not wait for permission—they co-create.
They do not surrender to broken systems—they build better ones.

The game teaches this.
Life demands it.

The Beginning: NDG

Every Eden has a starting point.

For A NuVo World, that beginning is Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—a vibrant, diverse, historically rich neighborhood within Montreal, Canada.

NDG is not chosen because it is perfect.
It is chosen because it is real.

Here you find:

• Cultural diversity living side by side

• Creative brilliance alongside quiet struggle

• Faith, skepticism, art, trauma, hope, and history all sharing the same sidewalks

This is precisely where a NuVo World must begin—where complexity meets compassion.

From Game Mechanics to Life Mechanics

The redemptive video game Journey to Eden is not escapism.
It is training.

Everything the game teaches is being applied in real life:

🌱 Progressive World-Building

Just as players gradually develop their NuVo World in the game, the real-world NuVo World grows one relationship, one project, one restored space at a time.

No shortcuts.
No false miracles.
Only faithful consistency.

🛠 Co-Creation, Not Control

There is no central tyrant architect.
NuVo World is built through collaboration, not domination—mirroring the game’s emphasis on shared stewardship.

🕊 Redemptive Choice

In the game, every decision shapes the world.
In NDG, the same is true.

How we treat one another.
What we build instead of tear down.
What we choose to believe about what’s possible.

Faith Made Tangible

A NuVo World is faith with hands.

It is prayer that becomes planning.
Worship that becomes work.
Hope that becomes housing, art, music, mentoring, enterprise, and healing spaces.

This is not about religion as institution.
It is about faith as incarnation.

Heaven does not descend fully formed.
It arrives through willing builders.

A Living Laboratory for the World

NDG is the prototype.

What is being tested here—community models, creative economies, mental-health alternatives, faith-anchored support systems, artistic collaboration, ethical technology use—can be replicated anywhere.

The intention is not to remain local.

The intention is to expand outward rapidly:

• From neighborhood to city

• From city to nation

• From nation to world

Each new NuVo World adapts to its culture, its people, its needs—just as each player’s NuVo World in the game becomes uniquely their own.

An Invitation, Not a Franchise

A NuVo World cannot be franchised in the corporate sense.
It can only be caught, embodied, and grown.

Those who resonate are invited to:

• Learn through the game

• Practice through community

• Build through love, skill, and courage

No one is excluded.
No one is rushed.
Everyone contributes what they carry.

Why This Matters Now

The world is tired of promises.
Tired of platforms without presence.
Tired of systems that extract but never restore.

A NuVo World is a counter-story.

It says:

We can still build something beautiful.
Together.
Here.
Now.

NDG is only the beginning.

Eden was never meant to stay a garden.
It was meant to become a world.

And that world is being built—one NuVo step at a time.
