Kulana Goddess Sanctuary
- Fellowship for Intentional Community
Mission: Goddess Sanctuary: Womyn-centric, diverse by race, age, spirituality, affectional preference, life's purpose, etc.
From www.ic.org/directory/kulana-artist-sanctuary/:
"I came looking for an understanding of you and came out understanding myself. Thank you so much for the conversation, the spaces wide open and all that lies in between. (You) gave me a sense of timelessness, and with that a precious glimpse into the person I forgot I was and have always been."Corrine
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Left original information on here for historical/herstorical purposes since we were ‘intentional community’ for quite awhile...& we still do welcome prearranged visitors & sometimes long-termers from time to time...but rather than prioritizing people these days, our focus is on being a ‘wild nature sanctuary’ that respects/nurtures the ability of the land to heal with the Divinely Feminine Compassion so needed everywhere on Planet Earth at this time.
The original Founder occasionally welcomes new or old friends, but in general time here is now more about sweet interactions with the land, spiced with occasional one-on-one human interactions of depth...(rather than all the busy personalities & activities we used to juggle years ago!)
So...if you're looking for a sweet, rustic, peaceful place to do creative work...deepen a spiritual practice...learn new spirit skills...or just have time to BE, occasionally around like-hearted others, this could be it. :) Check out our current web presence to see what we are now & what kinds of interactions we're open to...& contact us if what you find there feels like a good fit! http://kulanagoddesssanctuary.blogspot.com.
General along with more focussed sharing of sacred time/space here (such as island-wide mystery-school interactions with the Founder) can be scheduled in support of an overall priority to: rebalance/repattern the Matrix while stewarding this unconventional, contemplative, substance-use (smoke/alcohol/drug)-FREE, laid-back, creative environment that embodies eco-friendly, low-impact sustainability in a tropical rainforest that’s kept intentionally unconquered these days.
Longer-term studies + partial-work-exchange experiences also sometimes possible. Inquire. :)
If you'd like to hear more about our adventures in the creation & living of Intentional Community through the years, Kulana's Founder & friends have these books in the world -- fiction & non-fiction -- which are available in both print & e-editions:
* PARADISE FOUND: a 'Gathering The Dreamcatchers' novel with folks trying to create a true sense of home & community, all while trying to change the world & navigating friendship, love, sexuality, personal growth, & the challenges Fate can throw your way...(can you relate?!) ;) https://www.amazon.com/Paradise-Found-Gathering-Dreamcatchers-Novel-ebook/dp/B07DS7FGVZ/
* COMMUNITY: THE COMPLETE MISSING MANUAL: part true life stories from our Kulana Artist/Goddess Sanctuary adventures, part Operations Manual on how to create sustainable, drama-free community in this day & age...which, as anyone who has lived in intentional community for any lengthy of time can tell you, is no small feat. https://www.amazon.com/Community-COMPLETE-Missing-Manual-Stages/dp/1535361433
Feel free to let us know your thoughts & what resonates with or is different fromyour own community experiences.
We love comparing notes!
2018 Update: There is new lava activity on this island & it is intense & beautiful...but it is NOT anywhere near us, thank goodness! Our land, kitties, air quality, etc. all continue to be just fine.
