What we do

We’re in the gestation stage. Drawing all souls interested in an alternative lifestyle where needs and skills are met within the community as much as possible. We are searching for a rural space that maybe close to or somewhat removed from large urban metropolis where members can own as much land as they’re willing to invest in and where they assist one another be it physically, spiritually or otherwise. The whole tenet for planning the community is to connect with kindred spirits that enjoy the same things that we do, namely life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We seek a space that honors the fact that all humans are created equal, with certain inalienable rights, like respect, kinship and appreciation. A place where kindness rules supreme, and where honesty is practiced amongst its members. A place where we can all feel safe within each other’s protection, and where our common interests come first and not to the detriment of each other. A place where the community plays an active role in people’s lives without interfering with their right to self determination and privacy. A place where the sounds of the land are heard, the wind, birds, rain and fauna as well as flora is appreciated and interacted with in an honorable, respectful and joyous way. A place where good food and good attitudes are both seeded and reaped. A place where you come to appreciate your neighbor’s presence and contributions to your own life and environment. A place where we can pool forces to both acquire and maintain the land and structures and gardens that we long to cultivate. A place where we can all live happily together…a few acres apart from each other with one large community hall.

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]
