What we do

As a Nomad, I filled the need for a virtual community with the purpose of supporting each other physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, financially, and socially. The group is growing exponentially and was asked to help with a property that was in foreclosure. In answering that call, I gained stewardship of 120 developed acres that were sorely in disrepair. Over the last year, many supporters have enabled us to clean, repair and start building an ecovillage, learning regenerative practices, with the focus on teaching, guiding, building homes on wheels and other alternative sustainable housing lifestyles. Although, currently, I am the single owner of the land, the intention is co-owned and operated for-purpose community of Nomads, Seekers, Out of the box thinkers. Searching for off-grid, self-sustaining, survivalists to co-create, investing time, knowledge and finances. Working, playing, living together and finding the ROI that serves your mind, body and soul.
Currently on property: Community house, 2 br mobile home in the process of remodeling, 4-30 amp RV sites, a 2 car garage next to an old trailer that is being cannibalized, a 3 car garage slated for arts/crafts, 40X60 RV Barn for DIY facility, 6 septic’s, 4 100/200 amp service poles, 6 Water IBC totes (currently haul water from 2 miles away) accumulation systems being installed, green house, small garden area, large garden area with natural fencing being cultivated for next year, chicken coup with 6 hens, 2 goats, and over 100 acres of various topographical challenges to play/build on. Currently zoned agricultural, looking to upgrade to a more expansive conditional use zoning. This is a start up! All voices are welcome and necessary for the success of this endeavor.

Our Mission

Our goal is to provide a mutually beneficial, safe, self-sustaining, regenerative, fun community for Nomads, Seekers, Survivalists to learn, earn, teach, grow, build, volunteer, create, inspire, blend.

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
