What we do

Golden Rule-Rainbow-Community
& Permaculture Demo-farm
On the main Island north-west of Bohol in the Philippines we are rebuilding our Demo-Farm project based on permaculture principles mixed with spiritual aspects in the Mountain area of Tubigon.
We try to realize self sustainable farming and constructing a new Base on a lot of around 1’500 sqm.
The lot has roughly 2 areas, a slightly sloping meadow and a side of a mountain.
We can host 1 or 2 people in our room above the workshop or in the tent on the lot. If you bring your own tent, there is plenty of space to find a spot for camping.
Currently we are 2 adults and 2 kids, 2 cats, 4 dogs and 5 chicks living at the Rainbow Farm.
We are still open for new members and volunteers; but mainly we are looking for a couple or so to take care of our place during our absences.
“Kathy started to study in the south and Kweevin will leave by chance for another mission”!
People with skills and sencitivity towards the surrounding as spiritual guides and practicioners are most welcome.
Coming here is for most people, which are not used to Asia a bit of a culture shock.
We are trying ourselves to find the balance between the local culture, other species of plants and the cultural background we come from. Sometimes it’s necessary to look at things with less expectations to manage daily challenges in communication with locals.
Anyhow, we just like you to know that we take our spiritual path very serious, practice unselfish love in meditation and in our daily action. We testing our limits for example with diets and fastenings. Sure there are slight adjustments for everybody’s health situation included, because one have to be ready for certain steps.
Basically we try to walk the talk as pioneers, and not just signpost the path and let the others walk it… (Aquarian Gospel 15:15)

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
