Hello everyone!

We have had a busy year so far, with wonderful events and many beautiful friends visiting us! 

We hosted a beautiful camp for Dances of Universal Peace called Dancing in Paradise. We already have our dates for next year, at the beginning of February, and hope you can join this uplifting event.  https://danceandsufiretreats.com/dancing-in-paradise%2C-hi-1

And then Winter New Culture Camp in February and was really deep as usual. Our next Winter camp will be actually in March to celebrate our 20 year reunion!  So we are calling it New Culture Hawaii 20th Reunion camp.

In April we did a more advanced camp called Conscious Connections Retreat!  We also hosted traditional Shamans from South America for a couple of beautiful retreats. Now we are resting from all the winter activity.

We are very excited to host a new event this year that brings us back to our internship days! It's a Two Week Community Immersion October 16-29th, 2024! We're calling it Living Harmony. 

Living Harmony: Permaculture Community Immersion and Training

This training will give a sampling of some of the ways we relate to the land and each other, all led by experienced teachers.  Learn about how to communicate well with others, how to listen well when someone is emotional, how to run a meeting smoothly, and more!

The event also has participants joining us on the land as we plant trees and work in the garden, process food, cook meals together and other hands on projects.  This is a great time to come meet our members, ask questions about living in community and get a peek into our daily life.

During the immersion we will be hosting a Seed Exchange on October 26th.  Save the date and save your seeds! More info soon!

If you know anyone who has been dreaming about community and might be interested, please pass along the link.  Please like the event and invite friends on Faceook Here.

Tracy's article in Communities Magazine on Conflict in Community was published this summer! Here's a link to the finished writing:

The article contains references to her journey raising Ai'ala in community as well as many other examples and references to daily life here at La'akea! It includes the lyrics to a song written by Lisa Hrbeck, a long term farm supporter and almost trial member who is now in South America exploring her desires for travel and new adventures! 

Hope to see you soon!

Tracy and the folks!
