A life-enhancing sojourn
of simplicity, liberty, and honor
in the private-public realms.
In a world increasingly governed by codes, statutes, and incorporated agencies, many wo/men are sensing the call to return to something more real — a way to live, give, and steward that is rooted in liberty, truth, honor, privacy, simplicity, and grace... without being incorporated and controlled by others.
Turns out there is, in fact, a little-known, timeless, seldom taught about, hidden in plain site way called an Unincorporated Nonprofit Association (UNA) that is central to such a way.
What is a UNA?
A UNA is one of the oldest and most natural ways people have organized shared purpose, stewardship, and mutual support. Long before modern corporations, licenses, and regulatory (incorporated) frameworks, people gathered by voluntary agreement, held property, stewarded resources, served others, and governed themselves through trust, conscience, and consent.
Today, a UNA offers a simple, lawful, flexible, and powerful vehicle for those seeking greater clarity, privacy, self-agency, and alignment in how they participate in this realm
Key Characteristics
- Private – not created by state or agency, operates outside statutory jurisdictions
- Equitable – grounded in consent, mutual agreement, reason, conscience, and good faith
- Simple – formed through voluntary association, with no mandator forms, filings, or fees
- Lawful / Legal – recognized / supported by California law, the IRS, and constitutional principles
- Capable – eligible to obtain a CP 575 E EIN with no tax filing obligations
- Functional — may open bank accounts, hold title to assets, enter agreements, and provide liability protection
- Adaptive – self-determined, amendable, and governed by its members
Familiar Examples
Unincorporated associations are neither rare nor experimental. Many well-known institutions began — and some still operate — as associations rather than corporations, including:
- NFL, NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball
- The New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ
- Masonic lodges and other fraternal / monastic orders
- Churches, schools, unions, guilds, centers, alliances, communities, clubs, councils, and more
The beauty is that it's hard to know for sure, because UNAs are kept private... even after you register with the California Secretary of State and obtain an EIN from the IRS. Nowhere to be find on any public databases.
Why might someone create a UNA?
UNAs seem particularly suited for those who:
- Wish to live simply, privately, and honorably…
- Seek to operate in alignment with natural law, spiritual law, common sense, and equity...
- Feel called to offer services / experiences / things in the private...
- Desire to be free from unnecessary complexity and control...
- Want to steward and protect assets for present and future generations...
- Are looking for a simpler, more aligned option than 508s, PMAs, and Trusts...
- Are called to reflect the truth of who they are and to what they serve / are subject to...
- Desire liability protection without submitting to corporate fictions...
- Are willing to bear their own witness and renew their own mind...
A UNA provides a simple, private structure through which both spiritual and commercial energy can flow… able to participate in both the private and public worlds simultaneously.
A UNA also invites (requires) a shift in perspective.
Where instead of asking,
“What am I required to do?”,
the question becomes,
“What am I choosing to steward?”
Where instead of defaulting to forms, permissions, and intermediaries, the emphasis returns to conscience, consent, and clarity. For those willing (and able), this represents not an escape from the world, but a simpler, more grounded, intentional, and empowering way of engaging with it.
How is a UNA different?
- A UNA is formed in the private, not by the state in the public. You are not applying to be ruled — you are creating to serve, aligned with purpose and principle. Remember: who creates it, controls it.
- A UNA retains its autonomy. You and it do not need permission to exist. Once formed, the UNA follows its own Law via its Articles and Bylaws (not an infinite sea of statutes, codes, trust law, etc.)
- A UNA has no owners. It exists to serve its purposes, not to generate personal profit for owners. There are no owners, shareholders, specific beneficiaries... only members coming together in shared purpose to serve the UNA, which in turn serves them.
- A UNA has no tax filing requirements. Here is a key difference between an "incorporated" and "unincorporated" entity. With a CP 575 E EIN, a UNA can open bank accounts, own property, receive donations / contributions / compensation, contract, conduct lawful activity, provide generational (estate) stewardship — all without having any tax filing requirements with the IRS, forfeiting control, probate, capital gains, being subject to statutory oversight, or becoming entangled in complexity, endless filings, compliance requirements, restrictions, and tax codes.
A UNA offers an interface to reorient your living relationship to commerce, institutions, others, and yourself.
A UNA invites operating with integrity, honor, and self-agency in all realms, public and private alike.
Is a UNA for you?
The website is devoted to sharing information about UNAs so people like you can learn about them.
Below are links to additional pages to learn more.
Feel free to
reach out anytime, too, with questions.
If you do determine a UNA is for you, you have 2 options to create one through The Unincorporated Way:
- 1:1 ($3,950)– co-create a UNA on your own schedule, at your pace, 1-on-1 with Roban.
- Group Knowledge Share ($2,950) – create a UNA as part of a small group (5+).
This is not a course, or mere exchange of paperwork.
It is a sojourn moving from the
incorporated
to
unincorporated side of the fence.
One we take together and continue on as, in a way, it's never-ending.
Through the experience you'll:
- See with your own eyes why the UNA is a simple, powerful way to reclaim liberty and simplicity...
- Inner-stand the historical and lawful foundations that make UNAs a viable option...
- Access clear templates and resources to avoid confusion and complexity...
- Co-create a UNA with integrity, intention, alignment, gnosis, and success...
- Open a bank account and begin wielding the UNA in the realm...
- Receive direct support throughout the entire process — and beyond...



You only have the rights
you know how to assert.
Rights are not passively held, but must be consciously known, embodied, claimed, articulated, and exercised in order to be recognized and real.
In the commercialized, incorporated world of fictions, silence is often taken as consent, or agreement is presumed. So unless one speaks, stands, and acts from a place of inner-standing and self-agency, those rights may go unused, unrecognized, and presumed waived or non-existent.
The unincorporated way, however, is not about fighting, resisting, or opposing anything — it’s simply about showing up with clarity, truth, clean hands, and empowered choice. It's about knowing what the options are, inquiring, educating, and responding accordingly.
Renewing the mind, aligning with truth, reclaiming the private, and knowing that a living, sentient, moral wo/man under natural law and equity is itself the wellspring of all true rights. This is the basis for the journey.
When we embody knowledge with honor and operate from truth with good faith, we attune to a deeper jurisdiction aligned with natural and spiritual laws — where UNAs quietly exist within the system, yet beyond it.
Let what is true guide you,
Let what is good ground you,
Let what is sacred move you.
This is the unincorporated way.
