Description:
Take a fun and informative tour of our land, including our
organic gardens, alternative building methods, off grid
solar system, animals and orchards.
We are a committed group of people
working together closely in community, on our 24 acres organic
permaculture farm. We integrate the social aspects of
sustainability into daily life: how to live together with
honesty, love and peace, and share power and leadership. We
do not have one central leader, but instead share the cost of
the land and the leadership equally. This
is a great time to tour the land and ask questions about community.
Let us know
if you are coming. Thanks!

Winter Return of the Light
Tantra Puja
Where: La'akea Community
When: Saturday, Dec. 13th : 7 - 9:30pm
Cost: $10 - $25
More Info: Amara Karuna <amara@mindspring.com>
You are invited to join us in celebrating the
Light inside ourselves and each other, and especially tuning in to
the Winter Solstice. Within a rich soundscape of lovely music, we
will create a safe space for deep connection, respectful
sensuality, creative movement, play and loving touch.
We focus on deep heart attunement, emotional safety and respect,
with emphasis on presence and intimacy.
You will connect with friends of both genders in a series of
guided rituals that encourage you to be fully present as you share
eye contact, breathing, singing, toning, light massage, meaningful
conversation, etc.
We will not focus on a gender bias this time, so we will not need
to gender balance. People of all sexual preferences are welcome.
Please come dressed up in your finest attire to help you step into
your own inner regal Divine self, as a God or Goddess, or both!
We appreciate you arriving a little early, bathed and sober. Also
bring pillows or fold out pads, or back chairs. If you have rugs
or large heavy blankets, that would be helpful because it is a
wood floor.

Dances of
Universal Peace (Sufi dances)
Friday Dec. 19th,
7-9 pm Laakea community.
Dances of Universal Peace (Sufi dances) are easily learned
spiritual folk dances from all traditions, with gentle movements
that even "non-dancers" can greatly enjoy. Singing sacred,
ancient phrases creates a full body healing vibration, and when
conscious movement is added, these become powerful spiritual
practices. Each dance will be fully taught, no experience is
necessary. These are interactive and participatory, not a
performance.
donation $3 to $10 appreciated call Amara at 808-982-6755
