What we do

During the summer of 2021, we secured a parcel of vacant land near Crawford Bay in British Columbia. We have put a pause on visitors and new members until at least summer 2027, as we develop our plans for the future. Check back then for an update.
From Neale Donald Walsch’s “The Complete Conversations with God” book, God says:
The model for life in a highly evolved society:
Beings live in clusters, or what you would call small intentional communities. These clusters are not further organized into cities, states, or nations, but each interacts with the others on a co-equal basis.
There are no governments as you would understand them, and no laws. There are councils, or conclaves. Usually of elders. And there are what could best be translated into your language as “mutual agreements.” These have been reduced to a Triangular Code: Awareness, Honesty, Responsibility.
Highly evolved beings have decided long ago that this is how they choose to live together. They’ve made this choice based not on a moral structure or spiritual revelation that some other being or group has brought forth, but, rather, on a simple observation of what is so, and what works.
From Sal Rachele’s “Earth Changes and Beyond” book, the Founders say:
Fourth density humans remaining with the Earth will create intentional self-sufficient spiritual communities of light in the safe places on Earth, where they will flourish and thrive. They will create what the Hopi call the “fifth world.” (Pangaea is the first, Lemuria the second, Atlantis the third, and the rapidly declining present civilization the fourth world.)
This will primarily be a spiritual community and will also strive to be entirely self-sufficient (off-grid), including pumping or collecting our own water, growing our own food (plant-based diet), generating our own renewable energy (solar, wind, water, magnetic), recycling all our waste (humanure).
We are currently a group of 2 families. Manoj with his daughter, plus Jamie and Tanya with their son.
Manoj is a father to three adult children. His spiritual journey began after 9/11 when he read “Conversations with Nostradamus” by Dolores Cannon, and decided to begin a disciplined yoga practice which led to a variety of spiritual experiences. He subsequently read the “Conversations with God” series of books by Neale Donald Walsch and the books of Sal Rachele and the Founders. These books form the basis for his beliefs, values and vision of the future, which is to live in an intentional community as they’ve described. https://www.youtube.com/user/ManojTheYogi
Jamie is a dad with an amazing partner (Tanya) and a wonderful child. He is driven by truth, nature, spirit, and all the aspects that make up being both a human and a being. From re-envisioning how we live in homes, interact with energy, grow and preserve food to our spiritual evolution, finding the truth of our history, our present life situation and the beautiful mysteries of our world. He feels extremely lucky to be a part of this intentional community and in our mission to live in harmony with people of like values.
Tanya’s intention is to live sustainably, grow her own food and provide an environment for her son to live out his childhood surrounded by happiness, spiritualism and a like minded community. She enjoys being in nature and hiking and grounding herself to our earth. Gardening her own organic food is her primary goal. She really enjoys cooking and preparing food through a whole food plant based diet.
