What we do

We are developing a retrofit cohousing community in or near the Desert Inn Estates neighborhood of the northeast section of the Paradise area of Las Vegas, Nevada.
The community is intergenerational and supportive of raising children.
Our goal is to create community based on New Culture community principles. https://www.ic.org/directory/network-for-a-new-culture/
We are interfaith and supportive of all spiritual paths.
Initially, members will take turns hosting community meals and events, but when we have sufficient participation, we hope to develop a community association that can purchase land in the neighborhood to develop a common house and other community facilities.
The neighborhood consists primarily of mobile and manufactured homes on lots that are owned outright with no HOA. There are some single-family residences also. There is a park within the neighborhood and shopping and restaurants are convenient.

There are several other mobile home, condominium, apartment and single family residence neighborhoods adjoining or nearby.

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
