What we do

Lampa Mountain Community was founded over 40 years ago by three friends who wanted to spend the rest of their lives living in community, exploring the upside potentials of long-lasting, committed friendship together. Since then, the group has grown into a thriving community of close friends. We live together, work together, and wholeheartedly support each other. Our experience has confirmed our original belief: Community is an ideal context for personal and spiritual growth and dedicated humanity service. It has also revealed wonders of human friendship beyond our expectations—and we’re still discovering more.
We realized early on that we would never achieve the group harmony and unity we hoped for unless each of us did our best to free ourselves from self-centered, egoistic thinking and attitudes. Only then could we avoid the inevitable conflict, jealousies, and resentments that result from people’s attachment to their own plans and ideas. Loving beyond ego has become a fundamental principle of our lives, and we are grateful for every bit of progress we’ve made. It has allowed us to achieve levels of cooperation, harmony, trust, and unity of heart that are rarely seen.

Our Mission

We are here to live a life of love. We’ve learned that it takes a lot of personal love, and real commitment over time, to bring up and heal the deepest parts of someone’s heart. We want to be that kind of love for each other, and extend it wherever it’s welcome. We’re here to provide one another the togetherness and support we each need to grow humanly and spiritually, and to discover and express who we truly are. And we want to show the world an example of what is possible for human beings when the conditions for it are fulfilled: a fully human life that is cooperative, loyal, inspired, dynamic, and vibrantly alive.

How to join

Our community is a close-knit intentional family of friends who plan to spend the rest of our lives together. Therefore, our membership process is simply the natural, unstructured process of becoming friends. If over time a friendship becomes close enough, and the affinity between us is strong enough, living together becomes an option to consider, together.

3000sf House+Apartment, Rosewind Cohousing, Port Townsend WA

We are a retired couple who are downsizing, still living within the community. We are selling our large, flexible, comfortably rustic house, perfect for a multigenerational household, a family with kids or for 2 separate households. It’s 3000 square feet on 3 levels. The house is on a slope, with 2 main entrances. At one time it housed a large blended family. The current setup is a 2250 square foot, 2 bath main house with a 700 square foot rental apartment, also called an auxiliary dwelling unit (ADU). There is a staircase between the main and lower floor, with a lockable door. If desired, the ADU kitchen can be removed. The main floor has a very large kitchen/dining area, large living room, two small bedrooms, a bathroom with 2 sinks and a shower, a laundry room and a large mudroom. The non-bearing wall between the 2 bedrooms can be removed to turn it back to a single primary bedroom. The top floor has two bedrooms, one of which is primary with a large bright sitting area, and a large open middle area between them (game room, TV room, kids sleeping area, etc.). There is a bathroom with a claw-foot tub, no shower. The lower floor is the ADU, a finished storage area and a stand-up “crawl space“ which is used as a second pantry and storage.Attached to the house there is also a 150 sq ft wood paneled office/hobby space with its own electric and propane lines.

Worktrade Opportunities on Big Island Hawaii

We are continuing our work-trade program at Bridge Hawaii for the right people on this beautiful 86-acre land located along the Hāmākua Coast. Ideally, we want to host those individuals who can help with the garden and who can support with build projects for up to a 3 month stay. This work-trade would include lodging, food staples, community kitchen, running hot water showers, off-grid electricity, and laundry. There is access to high speed wi-fi. We often have a car that can be reserved. We also have full bar signal strength with Verizon cellphone service. We have about 2 acres of permaculture garden that needs to be cared for including; weeding, planting, picking up mulch, some tree trimming, ect. We are currently in a building stage on the land. We have a few current grant projects we are working on and some build projects that are underway. We are an intentional community with about 8 permanent residents. There are rescue dairy cows, mini cows, mini donkeys, horses, a donkey, cats, dogs, and active bee hives. We are a drug and alcohol “free” space. A glass of wine or beer with dinner is fine, but absolutely no day drinking or parties. We have a meditation temple and many waterfall pools that are wonderful for swimming. Close to some of the nicest beaches on island. We have snorkeling gear and a kayak. Since this is an animal sanctuary, we limit the consumption of meat on the land. Fish, eggs, honey, and dairy are fine. Let me know if you’re interested by sending an email or text for our application. Maomi (801) 623-0738 ma***@*****************ii.com
