When: SATURDAY, November 3rd @ 9:30 am
Cost: Donation, suggested $5-15 if you can. No one turned away.
More Info: _call Aniko for more info at 214-4601_
Description: Come join us for an introduction to permaculture and our
community lifestyle! Take a fun and informative tour of our land with
Tracy, 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.
LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE COMING. Thanks!

- FORUM from ZEGG Community in Germany
- HUNA, a Hawaiian Philosophy, as taught to me by Stewart Blackburn

tracy at permaculture-hawaii.com or 808-443-4076
The fee is $150-$300 sliding scale. Please pay as your income allows.
Trades are welcome. No one will be turned away do to lack of funds.
** INTRO OPTION: The first two Fridays, November 9th and November 16th
are open as drop in days for $10/day to try the class out and see if you
want to continue!
Safe Container: participants must attend one of the first two classes.
After the second week the group is closed with no drop-ins available.
Tracy Matfin is an educator turned gardener, mother, permaculture
instructor and lover of life. She is a founding member of La'akea
Community (permaculture-hawaii.com [1]) where she has been living and
experimenting with sustainability for more than ten years. Tracy
practices what she teaches. She practices non-violent communication,
peer counseling, Huna (a form of Hawaiian spirituality), couples
counseling and group facilitation. When people learn from Tracy, they
tend to feel connected with themselves, the earth and one-another--they
feel good and have fun.

AUTHENTIC RELATING GAMES!
FACILITATED BY CHRIS GONGAWARE [2]
HOSTED BY LA'AKEA COMMUNITY
SATURDAY NOVEMBER 17TH 5:00-8:30
LOCATION: La'akea Community Main House
TIME: 5-8:30
THEME: Opening to opportunities
Are you open to the life that you want and the possibilities in front of
you? Do you regularly feel alive with excitement? Are you able to seize
the moment?
On November 17th we'll be exploring opportunities, opportunities in
life, opportunities in connection, and opportunities in enjoyment. Come
play and co-create a lively night centered around creating
opportunities.
5:00pm Doors open - Drop in, Connect, Be Playful, share awkward social
time where we stand around, and Dance. (Hopefully we'll have music
playing!)
5:30pm It's tragic for everybody that comes on time to hear the rules
twice...Doors are locked promptly at 5:30 to create a safe and lively
container. (No promises for admittance after 5:30)
8:30pm Class finish - you are welcome to stay and hang out! There will
probably be a cuddle pile ;)
This class is professionally facilitated and donation based (suggested
$20 xox) No one turned away do to lack of funds!
Come explore the spectrum of human connection in a safe and playful
space.
AUTHENTIC RELATING is the antidote for boredom and neediness in
relationships; the inspiration for a new generation of human social
technology that will change the way we treat feelings and connection in
everything from alone-time and relationships to business and education.
This will be an evening of fun, highly-interactive exercises that
explore new ways of seeing, connecting and appreciating each other (and
ourselves) on a deeper and more rewarding level!
Side-effects include:
--Connecting with a complete stranger for five minutes and walking away
knowing them better than your own family.
-- Having the best feeling of connection that you've had all year.
-- Finding out what you really want, and saying it!
By 'games' we mean fun, highly interactive partner and group exercises
that demonstrate and explore authentic relating, and getting to know
yourself better while at the same time learning to see and appreciate
more about everyone you connect with. These games are NOT board games
like 'Chutes & Ladders' and 'Checkers'.
By 'authentic' we mean that there is no cookie-cutter mold for how you
"should" be or what relating "should look like". Everyone is a complete
universe unto themselves, has a unique style, personality, and integrity
that is perfectly *them*, and everyone is perfect and amazing as they
are (including their belief that they aren't.)
What can I expect?
Laughter, fun, nourishment, anxiety/excitement (while learning the
difference), relaxation, sparks of connection, feeling ALIVE, insights,
challenges, love, REALness, personal growth, transformation.
Who can play?
Anyone! Whether single, dating, young, old, etc., it doesn't matter.
Anyone who feels a desire to feel closer with people, and is willing to
try something new. (NOTE: These are NOT singles or dating events).
* Please note, out of respect for all participants and activities, we
will be closing the doors to start promptly at 5:30pm.
*Authentic Relating is your invitation to connect with heart, humour,
curiosity and to revel in the delicious medicine of human connection.
* You are fully supported to choose your own level of involvement at all
times. Simple tools and guidance are given to help you honour your
sovereignty and communicate your personal boundaries easily.
* You don't need a partner, AND you're most welcome to bring one (or 5)
if you wish: invite anyone else who might fit the bill at being real.
Authentic Relating Games are equally suitable and welcoming to single
peeps and those in relationships.
* This will be a mix of 1) An amazing time of depth, expression, and
connection that does not exist anywhere else in Hawaii, and 2) Creating
the life you want through learning REAL-WORLD TOOLS that you can take
home with you to enjoy your life, friendships, and work more.
* No prior experience is required. Lifetime guarantee, void where
prohibited, see manufacturer for details.
Location: A beautiful room at La'akea Community 13-3844 Ala'ili Rd.
Bring flashlights to get to and from your car! 808-443-4076

Join us in co-creating safe, nurturing, inspiring community, with a
focus on how we can be deeply connected with each other, with nature and
the world.
New Culture people are dedicated to examining every aspect of our
existing cultures and experimenting to find out how to create a world
based on love and freedom, rather than fear and violence.
Come celebrate, be challenged, and enjoy yourself on the land and still
existing beach as we share our talents, knowledge and hearts with each
other.
Our rich program will have a focus on a sustainable culture of
interconnections, including classes with well known teachers in
Social Permaculture, Polyamory discussions, massage, consent &
boundaries training, as well as cuddle puddles, gender circles, Tantra
Pujas and a creativity sharing Cabaret night.
The daily schedule will include workshops, ZEGG-style forums, three
