What we do

GAYA community of consciousness
We share a common core focus: to realize ourselves in full self-awareness to manifest a truly human society.
PRINCIPLES
• We integrete various levels of consciousness: physical, emotional, psychological, social, environmental, quantum, galactic and spiritual.
• The way of living facilitates individual and collective transformation in order to achieve a fully conscious humanity in harmony with the Earth.
• Individually there is a yearning for enquiry and inner realisation, a work of selfrecognition of the traumas, wounds, conditionings and masks of the ego/character.
• Collectively there is a renewal of habits and customs given by planetary socioenvironmental consciousness: conscious food and consumption; very low or zero industrial, chemical and electromagnetic pollution; very high capacity for selfmanagement, cooperation and resilience.
• Non-violent, sincere and honest communication, deep dialogue beyond egos, awareness of the power of language and silence; respect for the expression and needs of each individual, without fear of living and managing crises.
DISTINCTIVE FEATURES
• Solar culture: Sunlight and temperature guide and organize us on many levels, half the day is community time, the other half is personal time.
• Healthy and simple organic food, without fried foods, flour, refined sugars, etc.
• Great domestic care, maintaining the beauty and harmony of spaces.
• We minimize industrial waste: we don’t use tetrabriks, cans, very little plastic, etc.
• Low dependence on electricity, we do not use refrigerator, freezer, blender, etc.
• 5G-free space with little electromagnetic pollution.
• We are friends of all spiritual traditions and practices that help us to understand and integrate the polarities and to life in harmony.

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.). There is a bathroom with a claw-foot tub, no shower.

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
