About the Community

What we do

== The vision is to build a holistic community network ==
A network that is operated by and serves members of the collective residing in surrounding neighborhoods. Imagine a shared living experience enabled by interactions, collaborations, and mutual support among members – thereby disrupting the prevalent culture of hyper-individualism and isolation.

Bright Star aims to be a hub where individuals can genuinely get to know each other over time, build camaraderie, and organize various events and initiatives that benefit each other.

== Inspired by characteristics of Intentional Communities and applied in a decentralized way ==
We usually think that intentional communities are restricted to a specific building, house, or a tight grouping of houses (cohousing for example). We are trying to incorporate many of the characteristics of Intentional Communities in a decentralized way and spread across neighbors in surrounding neighborhoods.

== Looking for dreamers and members ==
We are building out a network in the Seattle and surrounding areas and looking for dreamers who would like to build and be part of a community network. Visionaries, community builders, and early adopters willing to embrace a work-in-progress experience are especially invited, as your input and engagement are key in shaping our evolving community.

Worktrade Opportunities on Big Island Hawaii

We are continuing our work-trade program at Bridge Hawaii for the right people on this beautiful 86-acre land located along the Hāmākua Coast. Ideally, we want to host those individuals who can help with the garden and who can support with build projects for up to a 3 month stay. This work-trade would include lodging, food staples, community kitchen, running hot water showers, off-grid electricity, and laundry. There is access to high speed wi-fi. We often have a car that can be reserved. We also have full bar signal strength with Verizon cellphone service. We have about 2 acres of permaculture garden that needs to be cared for including; weeding, planting, picking up mulch, some tree trimming, ect. We are currently in a building stage on the land. We have a few current grant projects we are working on and some build projects that are underway. We are an intentional community with about 8 permanent residents. There are rescue dairy cows, mini cows, mini donkeys, horses, a donkey, cats, dogs, and active bee hives. We are a drug and alcohol “free” space. A glass of wine or beer with dinner is fine, but absolutely no day drinking or parties. We have a meditation temple and many waterfall pools that are wonderful for swimming. Close to some of the nicest beaches on island. We have snorkeling gear and a kayak. Since this is an animal sanctuary, we limit the consumption of meat on the land. Fish, eggs, honey, and dairy are fine. Let me know if you’re interested by sending an email or text for our application. Maomi (801) 623-0738 [email protected]
