Dances of
Universal Peace
Join us for deep sweetness, heart healing, oneness….
Dances
of Universal Peace are easily learned, 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.

Winter
Internship
“I came here to learn about growing things,
and what I really learned about was growing people.” – Emily ’09
Where: La'akea Community
What: Month long adventure
When: 2/1 - 2/29/2016
Cost: $750

Description:
Our internship program increases the focus on learning
beyond what you would get as a farm supporter. Participants will
enjoy workshops on permaculture and on communication, interpersonal
and community living skills. This is in addition to your daily
participation in community life and hands-on immersion in
permaculture modalities.
Interns will be given tasks related to
sustainable food/fiber production (tropical fruit orchards,
vegetable gardens, greenhouses, animal systems, coconut tree
climbing and harvesting, bamboo and other timber crops, and local
food preparation).
We have classes in non-violent communication, co-counseling and
other modalities that increase emotional awareness and provide
tools for relationships and community living. We are interested in
sharing what we know – helping to educate through experiential
learning.
“My experience at La’akea taught me not only how to survive off the
grid, but how to engage more with my peers for truly meaningful
relationships. I found it fascinating, enlightening, and very
magical. What a beautiful place and amazing group of people to have
worked with. I can’t wait to come back.” Allie Hubert, Summer 2011
