Sunburst is a community whose ideology revolves around agriculture, education for all ages, combining alternative-technology education with holistic living.
Our goal is to provide our essential needs for food, shelter, energy, healing, companionship and self-actualization by sustainable growing practices, regenerative farming techniques, harvesting renewable energy for heat, electricity and mechanical work, our goal is to be completely off grid, utilizing solar and other best practices.
On occasion, shared meals, dances, optional spirit practices as well as regular meetings and shared work on the grounds.
We intend to generate value for ourselves, for each other and for our neighbors, caring for animals, wild and domestic, potential animal sanctuary, selling extra food and plant medicine, education, forest products, alternative energy technology, natural healing and other business ventures.
Sunburst consists of 84 acres, 50 are in farmable conservation. We currently have 2 hoop houses 30 x 72′, a 40′ geodesic dome, a converted schoolie, and two 40′ shipping containers.
Intentions for our land will hold a teaching center, alternative housing such as tiny homes, yurts, tipis, schoolie, Earthship, tree houses, with emphasis on small, energy efficient, simple buildings, using recycled and local materials, when possible, with centralized community space for dinners, music, dancing, lectures and movies.
An ideal intention, would include natural healing, accomplished through the innate healing abilities of our bodies, assisted by practitioners of chiropractic, massage, meridian therapy, herbalism, reiki, counseling and yoga. For our purification, our community will have facilities for bathing, swimming, hot water soaks, sauna, and sweat lodges.
Food production will be from foraging, gardening, greenhouse hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaculture, farming, permaculture and agroforestry.
We would like our community to be an exemplary model of responsible living on planet earth, teaching others our culture, on site and on www.
Visitors are encouraged to come and learn, for a few hours, a few days or a few weeks, with several options for exchange of value.
Some of the interests and skills of current community members are solar and wind power, compost heating, filtered rainwater, natural-style parenting, greenhouse farming, homeschooling, music, and worker-owned cooperative businesses.
The community plans to be self-supporting, providing jobs through intense aquaculture, hydroponics, beekeeping, internet business, recumbent-bicycle making, soap making and perfumes. Sunburst is a home for those who share high ideals and who know that tomorrow is built today. We are presently in the formative stages.
We want our members to reside in “tiny homes”, members can bring their own or reside in ours. As of yet we have no hookups for an RV, we have no electric, no sewer, no water. We welcome people who have “tiny homes and/or small homes on trailers” to join us at our community now. We are in the process of purchasing a community building where we will have meetings and group dinners. The community house will include an aquaculture system utilizing fish and vegetables. Also, we plan to install an underground thermal storage tank for our compost heating system combined with our solar hot water and rocket stove’s.
We are building the relationships and the organizational foundations of a community. Like-minded persons who are ready to develop and explore themselves in a setting of openness and trust are invited to inquire about Sunburst, either as prospective members or as investors in a socially responsible alternative environment
Our vision is to create an ecologically sound, self-reliant community, combining the latest technological advances in bio-culture and energy efficiency. We are also moving towards an Environmental educational center where we will be teaching children and adults about the environment and farming techniques in our now built greenhouses.
