Community Tour  of La'akea Intentional Community, Pahoa


Where:  La'akea Community, meet at Main House
When:  Saturday, Jan. 24th @ 10 am
Cost: 
Donation, suggested $5-15 if you can. No one turned away.
More Info: call Tracy for more info at 443-4076 or reply to this email.

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!

Dances of Universal Peace (Sufi dances)
Friday Jan. 16th,
 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  for more info.
