Description:
Come join us for an introduction to permaculture and our
community lifestyle! Take a fun and informative tour of our
land, including our organic gardens, alternative building
methods, off grid solar system, animals and orchards.
Learn some basics of permaculture concepts and how we apply them
in action.
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.

Dances of
Universal Peace (Sufi dances)
Friday, March 20th
7-8:30 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.
