What we do

Moonrise Meadow Collective is a forming women-led spiritual eco commune focused on permaculture, ethical land stewardship, connection to nature, feminism, working towards food/energy sovereignty, spiritual growth, radical honesty, mutual aid, collective support, and holistic healing with an emphasis on healing trauma together as a group.

Our focus is on women, but we are a safe haven and affirming space for queer folks, non-binary folks, LGBT+ folks, polyamorus folks, BIPOC folks, trauma survivors, abuse survivors, and other marginalized groups. Bigotry is never welcome here.

As of 2026, we are newly forming on 11 acres of meadow, forest, hills, and marsh with 1 established house that is shared communally. We are starting a garden, and laying plans for solar panels, permaculture, communal space improvements, and more. In our home, we have a Sacred Space room for spiritual ceremonies, meditation, yoga, and group trauma healing.

Our goal for the next 3-5 years is to use our current land and home as an experimental communal living project in which we all grow/heal together, learn to be good stewards of the land, learn from each other, and find a core group that will continue the mission in the next phase.

Our 5-10 year goal is to purchase 100+ acres in northern Michigan and begin a new chapter there with eco buildings (cob, earth bag, earth ship), more communal spaces, a spiritual retreat center, more eco-friendly agriculture, energy sovereignty, and food sovereignty.

What Guides Us:

The deep mission is to break cyclesof intergenerational pain/trauma by actively reconnecting the body, mind and spirit to the land. It’s about using the physical labor of permaculture/regenerative agriculture and the vulnerability of radical honesty as tools to rewire our nervous systems away from survival mode and into a state of shared feminine power. We are a laboratory for Cosmic Feminism in action. The true goal is to physically and spiritually embody the balance of feminine energy that the world lacks right now, using the seasons, the soil, and the safety of the group for that transformation.

Our spirituality is not dogmatic. We focus on the universal connection of energy that all of us have equal access to and equal responsibility to care for and nurture within our own healing journeys. We believe in the conscious rebraiding of spirit, body, and mind that modern society has systematically forced to split apart and fray.

Our Mission

Our mission is to break cycles of intergenerational trauma by reconnecting body, mind, and spirit to the land, using permaculture and radical honesty to rewire our nervous systems from survival mode into shared feminine power. We cultivate a safe haven for women, queer, and marginalized folks to heal, grow, and reclaim sovereignty together.

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.

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
