*About us: We are a group of people committed to working together 
closely in community on our 24 acres of land. We apply and experiment 
with sustainable systems, including off-grid technologies like solar 
power, water catchment and composting in addition to food forests and 
animal systems. We integrate the social aspects of sustainability into 
daily life: how to live together with honesty, love and peace. We do not 
have one central leader, but instead share equally in the expenses of 
the community and the responsibilities of leadership.

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.

*"Social Permaculture- **Opening to New Paths"*

We are only 2 miles uphill from the recent lava eruption, and that has 
caused a lot of changes to our area! But all our buildings are intact, 
and we are living on the land which is lush and green again, and the 
eruption has stopped.

We welcome you to come join us, and take a look at all the amazing 
effects of the recent Lava flow!  Having you with us is very supportive 
and healing to us all!

This camp will be an intensive personal growth experience held at 
La'akea Community, on our lush, permaculture, rainforest land.

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 support circles, 
Tantra Pujas and a creativity sharing Cabaret night.

The daily schedule will include workshops, ZEGG-style forums, three 
meals and time for an afternoon snooze.
