We are are a small, family style, egalitarian, intentional permaculture 
community on the big island of Hawai'i. Come join us for a deep dive 
training in our vibrant community lifestyle!  We have successfully lived 
together for 20 years.
We are a committed group of people working together closely as a means 
to health, relationship vitality, economic stability, personal and 
spiritual growth.
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.

Dances of Universal Peace

Nov 16th Saturday
with Amara Karuna and others

3- 5 pm   Laakea Community in the meadow space,

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.

Please wash your hands before, and do not attend if you feel ill or have 
been around someone ill, thanks!

     call Amara at 808-982-6755  for more info.

at La'akea community… 13-3844 Alaili road, go one mile past Leilani on 
Hwy 130, and turn right on Alaili, then go right at the driveway, at the 
Laakea sign.  Park in the first parking lot you come to and walk up a 
little way to the the Meadow Space sign, and turn right up that 
driveway. If you are not able to walk you could drive farther up that 
driveway and park.  But the walk is not very long from the parking area.

Come Home to Yourself

This is a zoom workshop Tracy is co-facilitating with her friend Stewart 
Blackburn. The offering is about Coming Home to Yourself. Stewart and 
Tracy co-create a loving container with guidance and activities to 
assist in exploring our core beliefs. Our objective is to get to the 
kernel of wholeness beneath the shame, expectations and other fears we 
may not even be aware of on the surface. A previous participant, shares 
"This class taught me to feel better by managing my thoughts and 
reevaluating old beliefs that no longer serve. I am no longer afraid of 
emotional intensity."
