Mission: To create a sustainable-and-holistic culture that supports and manifests True Human Freedom!
From www.ic.org/directory/gaiayoga-gardens/:
GaiaYoga Gardens (of Earthly Delights) is holistic cultural experiment, permaculture homestead, and intentional community on Hawaii’s Big Island. The vision we are manifesting is expressed in the book True Human Freedom: The Inspiration and Argument for GaiaYoga Culture, by Ano Tarletz Hanamana. We’re dedicated to living in harmony with the Earth, connecting with Spirit, engaging personal growth and healing, fostering cooperative community, and developing holistic and sustainable life patterns. We practice and teach Permaculture and other sustainable food systems, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), natural raw diet (Instinctive Eating and The Primal Diet), Light on Shadow (Shadow Work) connection parenting, cooperative living, and holistic and shamanic spirituality.
Our lifestyle includes:
1) Living simply, sustainably, and close to nature - rurally and off-grid in low-impact eco-dwellings; growing food; operating eco-businesses; and trading for goods and services.
2) Cultivating a healthy self through eating a raw & organic diet; having an active work/service life; engaging personal growth work; balancing autonomy and interdependence; having a life-affirming orientation toward sexuality (this includes, but does not require, polyamory/polyfidelity); and being clothing-optional.
3) Establishing a land-sharing community that's intimate, caring, and feels like family. This includes practicing cooperative decision making, nonviolent communication; cooperating relative to resources and land development; having community businesses; sharing childrearing; and having fun together!
4) Integrating spirituality into our communal life through morning circles, prayer, hatha yoga, rituals, shamanic journeying, rites of passage, and spiritual study, all according to individual preferences.
Our dream is for GaiaYoga Gardens to be a beacon of light and love and a living example of the kind of world we want.
