What we do

We want to create a safe place where any good person can come if you want to. No matter the circumstances. If you are healthy or not, homeless or not, have emotional or mental issues or not, if you are a baby, a kid, a teen, or 111, if you have skills or not, if you have any disabilities or not. If you married or not, nomatter what gender you associate with (LGBT), if you are pregnant or not, if you have animals, dogs, cats, lizards, amphibians, fish or birds, than its ok for them to come too. If you belong to any religion or not. It doesn’t matter your skin color, hair color, eye color, or even if you have teeth or not. If you are 1″ inch or 10′ feet tall it’s all good.
I’ve been a caregiver for many years. I’ve seen people suffer with illness and old age while trying to help them be comfortable. I’ve watched the housing prices go up and with it the number of people bugging for money. Many woman and some people in their 70’s. Many with dogs for companions and for protection. My heart goes out to people like this. I was recently talking to a traveling preacher, who said these days everyone has ptsd. I think the thing is if we have a safety net to fall back on when the trouble times hit. Right now the regular church and state programs seem over loaded. This is a social experiment to see if it will help some.
But there isn’t a mansion to come live in with servants and free food. We are Not talking about the garden of Eden here. Az is a desert. We get to buy and haul water, pay someone else to or put in a well for 50k. We can live in rv’s, or build our own tiny homes or one of a natural substances. We can even have out houses. I’d love to say we can grow food, but honestly I think we will be lucky to grow a few fresh veggies. But we can have animals as soon as we build some cages and fences for them. Personally, I’d love to have goats, chickens, llamas, deer, etc.
Btw, there might not be trees, maybe some little shrub oaks. So we get to build shade! We can carpool to work, it will likely be 30 mins away or more. Idk if we will have electric, might have to rely on solar. Also, depending on which part of AZ we buy land, will determine if it’ll be cold in the winter or too hot in the summer. What’s your preference? I expect there to be a lake somewhere around to cool off in. I am highly tempted to get a mermaid tail. :)

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
