What we do

    1. H.E.A.L. (Heal Earth And Life)
      Think of H.E.A.L. as a very cool, well organized tool shed for humanity.

We are located with in a 26,000 acre guard gate community, with 12 lakes and hundreds of miles of hiking trails. This property is located above one of the largest crystal vortex on the planet.
It is our hope to give an environmental example in our community of how man can live as one with nature, using all of our renewable energy sources, feed ourselves good healthy organic food, experiment with best eco friendly building practices while teaching others to do the same. Do you have some ideas for making our project better? There´s plenty of room, and we welcome you to be a part of this working/teaching environmental classroom.
H.E.A.L. has a simple belief. This planet is our home! There is a definite connection between its health and ours. We as a generation are moving to new heights with our ability to rejuvenate, renovate, and resupply our bodies and minds with so much that is good for us. Let’s do the same for the place we live, our home, our community, this planet. There is power in the masses and their movement. These days that movement is towards hope. Look around you and you will see it everywhere. We at H.E.A.L. would like to identify the problems, present the solutions and put them in the hands of the people who can make a difference, YOU!
Then we plan on using what we do here as a teaching classroom.
We need your help to find the sharpest tools on the planet: those people who know the answers, who know how to fix what’s damaged or broken—the experts at global and human restoration, on free energy, on growing organic healthy food, on building 3d printed homes.
We want to support them and pay them to do what they do best, provide solutions! If you are interested in this adventure please contact us and hey, thanks for being HERE!

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).

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.).

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
