What it is.

So the deal is.

The last six months have been spent on an off the grid, organic farm on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Yes it was great. What was it about?

It was about Enoch and I, it was about sacred spaces, it was about living with the land and feeling her breath.

It was about many things. Sleeping in the darkness and waking up at dawn. Footprints in the dirt. Calloused hands and long thorough days.

Individuals to see, day in & day out, who work with the land and care for it, who share that caring with me.

These ideas of community have grown big within me, flavoring all of the other concepts and ideas that i hold dear. At this point I am completely convinced of the necessity of small communities that work together to build and share local resources to keep the planet and our species healthy. Enviornmentally, socially, politically, ecologically, personally. So I am off to live in a small, earth based community to grow my skills and see for myself what the difference can be. What difference can be acheived through the cooperation, skills, knowledge, and care of a small community. Intentional Community/Ecovillage time it is.

The initiation has been completed. This last six month venture has been the step forward into the focus for the next few seasons.

This interim in LA is a quick pause in the movement before we head off on the wind to the Pacific Northwest to work on our skills with a community or farm there.
