What we do

Kallipoli is a conscious/yogic community modelled around Plato’s ideal community described in the Republic.
What is Consciousness to us?
Consciousness to us is synonymous with mindfulness. Is synonymous with a calm mind, which doesn’t have to go to the future or the past if you don’t ask it to. Its synonymous with being aware of the different thoughts that are passing through your mind, the feelings that might generate and having control of these processes. There is a certain freedom in this way of being. One is no longer a victim or a slave to their thoughts, their feelings, their patterns, their trauma. And one can also protect others around, him or her, from these thoughts and feeling patterns etc. Consciousness for us invariably happens when energy flows freely in our energy channels, in Yoga called Nadis. It is often expressed as kindness, truthfulness, non-violence and can often be improved through yoga practices, meditation, mindfulness, breathing exercises etc.
Conscious people are often sensitive about energy and conscious people will more and more start to look for harmonious places to live. This is what a Conscious community is.
What is a conscious Community?
A conscious community is a gathering of conscious people. Where everyone contributes to harmony and the high vibrations of the community. We are building one because this is part of our service, because we too want to live in such an environment. Conscious Community is also an opportunity for amazing projects to be conceived and manifested. It is also an opportunity for people to share their skills and to come together in growth.

Our Mission

We came to conscious community through our intention to love in a more expanded and active way. We wanted to be of positive and meaningful contribution to others and over time we found that contribution is about full-filling needs of others and that conscious communities have the potential to fulfil all the human being’s needs in the most harmonious and timeless way. A conscious community doesn’t only take care of the more material needs such as nutrition and shelter but also subtler needs such as belonging, contribution and self-realisation. Our intention is to show that there is a much more harmonious way for human beings to live.
Our focus is sustainability, freedom and high, uplifting, joyful and inspiring vibrations. These vibrations we co-create as members of the community and are all responsible to sustain, maintain and protect.

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
