"A haven of good energy in a place of strong energy,
thank you for inviting us into your home. Love it!"
Naomi and Jonathan
Aloha!
Looking forward to sharing sacred time/space together! :D There have been many changes in focus over the years, so please read what our intentions are now...even if you've shared sacred time/space in any form here before.

HERE'S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT OUR CURRENT UNCONVENTIONAL REALITY! :)
WHO
WE ARE: We consider the spot on planet earth we are stewarding meant for
unconventional, nature-based & spiritual experiences dedicated to evolution, education, and a focus on individuals enjoying their best self, health & lives around a kindred
spirit or two. :)
Still womyn-centric with a growing focus on Goddess Girl energetic connections during this potent time of the Divine Feminine rising here on Planet Earth, at times this home can be specifically women-only space; other times we happily enjoy welcoming connection with our male friends & couples.
(Though lately we have sometimes just been focusing on humans less in general overall & giving the land and her creatures a rest, just FYI!)
Though no longer the official 'community' we once were years ago, nor is the Founder delving into private mystery school endeavors to the degree explored in previous eras, we have by now become an informal worldwide, not-for-profit association of kindred spirits dedicated to spirituality, evolution, the care of human + planetary health, and education appropriate to these tumultuous, transformative times.

During times we are open to connecting with folks, we are (as always) happily diverse by
race, age, artistic medium, spirituality, affectional preference,
(etc!)...& in the interest of fostering sweet one-on-one interactions that
resonate with conscious depth, we expect any visitors to this home to be respectfully
substance-use (smoke/alcohol/drug) free.
Everyone agrees to be 100% self-responsible for their own needs, safety, and belongings while they are at this tropical work-in-progress located within rustic rainforest on an active volcano.

Our creative, country-quirky environment with its kitchen, library/art/music room,
bathrooms, banana tree forest, mediation areas, etc. are kept sacredly
simple. Meals & adventures shared as mutually desired.
WHERE
WE ARE:
HOW SUPPORTING US WORKS:
Expressions of appreciation from friends far & wide
-- from those who stay with us & those who don't; and from those who
participate in day studies or long-distance magic with the Founder & those who don't -- are
always sincerely welcomed! It's why, even with all the economic turmoil going on in the world & all our own personal changes, we are still here. Thank you sooooooo much for being
glad we exist. :)
When we are open to sharing sacred time/space, there are three ways of prearranging that with various mutually agreed upon, prepaid, nonrefundable/nontransferable expressions of appreciation that we receive via our Paypal donations button
(NOTE: sometimes folks request a creative combination of more than one of the below options):
1) We arrange specific days to enjoy immersing in an
experience of ancient Mystery School work with the Founder...OR Professionally
Creative Mentoring with the Founder (any artistic medium)...OR tailored
Nurturing/Transformational time custom-designed for you by the Founder. Any of
these options can be done here or meeting off-site, or they can be facilitated remotely if you are not on island.
2) You are just wanting to share time/space in nature doing your own thing.
3) You would like to help out as a partial work trader providing less monetary appreciation with 1.5 - 2 hours/day helping tend structures & grounds.
NOTE: In some years, we have connected with many new & old friends
in these ways. Other years, we're doing different things.
Inquire. :)
PARTIAL
WORK TRADE OPTION: If you're interested in helping out, Partial Work Trade projects
are assigned from current priorities & the things generally done around here, including: Hawaiian-style hand-clearing/maintaining of jungle
trails/grounds; weather-protect staining/painting of structures (artistic
creativity encouraged!); spring cleaning & organizing; laundry; planting or
weeding; building/fixing/maintaining things like food planter boxes, gates
woven from rainforest materials, & tarped storage jungleows; the getting
& bringing away of materials like plant matter, household supplies, kitchen
recycling, propane, rescue kitty & gardening supplies, etc.; &/or
whatever would be most helpful for this environment at this time. No experience necessary, just a willing & happy-to-learn
attitude! :) (Though if you happen to have specific especially-useful-to-us skills you would like
to share, or any particular bodily limitations, do let us know.)
Note: Those sharing time/space here via a Partial Work Trade
will most LIKELY have a space to themselves (since we have been keeping
things quieter around here these days)...but it is possible, at times, that
helpers in spaces with more than 1 bed may get to room with another visiting
goddess gal or 2, just fyi.
PLANNING
A VISIT:
FOCUS
ON NATURE: What we're up to these days is cherishing peace, quiet, &
timelessness as our little neck of the woods becomes more & more intimately wild-nature-focused, and diving into our own personal creative projects/spiritual
practices in between watching native birds feast on tall grasses & Hawaiian
medicinals now allowed to mature enough to seed.
But what does it mean to become more eco-friendly while having
less human impact on an environment? To be with & in nature
more, rather than admiring it from afar?
In this volcanic rainforest, the sun-rain-sun-rain weather can
sometimes feel louder & more present than people. Anyone here enjoys working with
these rhythms, and we prioritize protecting & respecting nature in its
natural state. For those used to bustling cities & more
cultivated/controlled/'happening' environments, this can be an adjustment since people here ARE touched by plant life, and by the elements (sun & moon shine, air,
dewdrops, rain)!
Our environment ebbs & flows with iridescent skink lizards,
butterflies, dragonflies, chameleons, singing tree frogs, outdoor kitties, and
also, from time to time, roaming families of wild pigs with spotted
piglets come out of the forest, and if you're still, they may hang around
awhile to graze & root. (So far, things like mosquitoes have remained
blessedly rare.)
Organic food can be grown as we have always treated the land with as much good (non-toxic) care as
possible.
SERVICES: We have electricity for lights, refrigeration, cooking...and
we also now have WIFI...
...but in general we're in the process of transitioning towards
more & more collaboration with the Spirit of the goddess Pele along with this specific Land. Rather than trying
to conquer it, we enjoy things like solar showers, for example, and make it a point to learn to inventively recycle, repair, reuse -- fixing &
fashioning things with natural materials whenever possible -- rather than
discarding to consume. (All this can be quite the adventure! A desire &
ability to slow down & be mindful is necessary.)
WHAT TO KNOW &
BRING:
* a flashlight (stars are gorgeous
when skies are clear because night is quite dark without city lights around!)
* sturdy shoes & easy slip on/off
shoes (like most places in Hawaii, we're a "no shoes inside"
household)
* warm & cool weather clothing
(days tend to be mild year-round; nights can sometimes be chilly; & if
you're planning to head up Mauna Kea, at that elevation there can even be
snow!)
* whatever you like to eat (there's a
"food-to-share shelf" anyone is welcome to take from & add to;
sometimes there's lots of yummy stuff there, other times not, just depends
who has been here & what they've contributed),
* your Spirit of Adventure! :)
LONGER STAYS, PRIVATE SESSIONS + TELE-CONSULTATIONS:
Arranging longer stays, custom-designed professional, creative,
&/or spiritual-type mentoring with this environment's Founder, &/or long-distance
guided transformation is sometimes possible, schedule permitting.
Want to dive deep? Inquire about:
* Private Tailored Nurturing towards Health/Healing/Wholeness
in this & other lives * Professional Creative Life leveling up * Women's Ancient Mystery School studies * remote mentoring/consultation * potentially experiencing the magic here live
& in-person longer term * whatever combination of this & other aspects of evolutionary growth are calling!
Collaborative "mystery school" work is generally done
as individual sessions &/or in arcs of pre-scheduled 4 - 6 deep-dives that
typically range from 2 - 5 hours each session, often including time at
off-the-beaten-track sacred sites, and typically focused on evolving in the
direction(s) a participant most wants to go (though sometimes the Universe throws in
surprises towards Soul Growth that can also have its own requirements). NOTE: Setting aside sacred, shared time/space for
days/weeks/months experiencing any of the above is always arranged in advance.
Here's how recent visitors experiencing various types of this
kind of in-depth mentoring described it:
* "I arrived...& immediately knew that I had
chosen the most sacred & perfect place to do my Soul & Heart Awakening
journey...so much magical space & love. My Mystery School Collaboration
& transformational ceremony was deep, profound, awakening to my core...This
has been the most spiritually amazing & extraordinary 2 weeks of my
life!!"
* "I'm grateful, fuller, softer, stronger, more open, more
aware -- with more revelations to come in the days, weeks, etc beyond...I
didn't know what to anticipate and am grateful that I chose this form of
mentoring...for sacred reflection & growth. I love the...interesting
conversations, thought-provoking ideas, community conscious(ness),
observational fun...shared adventures...delicious home-made ginger tea!"
If you'd like to hear from more folks who have relaxed &
transformed their lives in various ways over the years via some form of connecting with this home & resident goddess led spiritual/healing/educational Experiences (including from eras long ago), please check out the "Quotes"
page of this site.
Looking forward to the adventures we are meant to share...!
THANKS
FOR CONTRIBUTING YOUR BEST SELF
WHILE
YOU ARE HERE! :D
"I came looking for an understanding of you
and came out understanding myself.
Thank you so much for the conversation,
the spaces wide open and all that lies in between.
(You) gave me a sense of timelessness,
and with that a precious glimpse
into the person I forgot I was
and have always been."
