Intentional Community

Our essential purpose is “the deepening of the spirit”. We seek to create a culture that values spirit, community and life-long learning. We strive to express the universal teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and other great spiritual traditions. We aspire to celebrate the sacredness of life in the company of dear friends. We promote tolerance, compassion and service to others as a pathway to individual and world peace. We understand that life is a sacred opportunity to grow.

Visualize a campus for the “School of Life”, an intentional community in Hawaii where everyone is honored as a student as well as a teacher. The ideals of compassion, service, humility and divine friendship imbue every aspect of living. Life is celebrated as an opportunity for continuous physical, mental, and spiritual development. Daily activities are filled with cooperation and creativity and include meditation, service projects, art, music, science, business and spiritual pursuits. The gifts and talents of all, from the very young to the elderly, are nurtured, appreciated, and harnessed for the overall good of the community. Birth, adolescence, marriage, death: all rites of passage are celebrated in the context of a present, caring community.

Primary interests: Culture (Wisdom & Innovation)
