A call to lightworkers, visionaries and healers!

Wrenaissance — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 01:59:28 GMT

Brothers and sisters,
As we know this is a crucial time of transformation, the old structures are falling down around us. It is time we connect to the earth, the source of our life and let go of the structures that hold us in the matrix. It is crucial that we activate and unite as one tribe in order to allow the higher dimensions to come through. It's time we unite to raise the frequency and help to elevate humanity to a higher level of conciousness.

This is an invitation to all lightworkers who share this vision.. We have an opportunity to fully realize this vision and ground it into reality. We are starting a sustainable community, perma culture institute and healing sanctuary in the Waipio Valley that will serve in the awakening of humanity. This will be a space where we will be able to create a space of full spectrum healing. A place where we can let go and release into a state of wholeness, where our gifts can shine forth to heal the planet. We will live in symbiosis with the planet and be fully sustainable. We will incorporate an array of healing modalities such as sound healing, reiki, dance therapies, detoxification, homeopathic medicine, herbology, acupuncture, yoga, massage, nutrition, chakra balancing.. We are uniting a community of healers fully dedicated to the evolution and healing of humanity and the planet.

In order for this vision to become a reality we will need a team light workers dedicated to creating and refining this vision. We need healers of all sorts, gardeners, natural builders, artists, webmasters, those who are financially savvy. Your love and energy is needed in order to make it happen. Let's wait no longer, the time has come for us to manifest our visions.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you feel called.

cucumbers?

ancientspin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:06:59 GMT

I am gardening on the mountainside above Kona and we had some bad luck with cucumbers. Any advice on a good variety? Or how to deal with the worms that crawl up the stem?
Thanks,

The Secret Life of Plants

jonathan — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 04:24:34 GMT

I just started reading this book, and i'm enjoying it a lot so far. has anyone else read it? so far, it describes a number of experiements with plants that demonstrate that plants are a lot more aware than the general public assumes. one really interesting experiment had a plant wired into a system, the end result of which was the plant could water itself. i'd love to set up some experiments like this...anyone done it yet? or want to participate?

Coming to the Big Island!

Zee — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 00:58:55 GMT

Me and my family are coming to Hawaii!

We are Zee and Matt, a couple with 2 small children (4 months and almost 4 years). I sew clothing and other goods and accessories, crochet, sing, play guitar, and spin poi. Matt is a carpenter with many years of experience. We play music, sing our own songs, dance, drum, and enjoy spending time in nature. We are a loving family and provide care and stability for each other. We are "green", we eat organic as much as we can and try limit our impact on Mother Earth.

We are looking for a place to stay on the Big Island somewhere in Puna would be ideal. We are willing to pay rent for a small hale or trade housing for work. I can help other mama's out baby sitting as well. We're open to temporary housing or something more long term. We have a dog and a cat and if possible, we would like to bring them out too.

Sending out positive energy... I know something great is going to happen.
Blessings,
Zee

A new group for Eco Sustainable Alternative Tech. Mud Junkies

Zen — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:18:35 GMT

Well, I have pulled myself out of the Hawaiian rain forest once again. With months of computer time ahead of me as I write my second book, I decided to finally start a gr
oup focused on the Eco-Ark Project. Its multiple purposes include raising awareness of the Eco-ark being built in the Puna Rain Forest, encouraging others to start similar projects in their own area, sharing ideas and methodologies for accomplishing these goals, spreading ideas concerning sustainable, Eco-friendly technologies and off grid community living. Spreading knowledge of organic permaculture techniques, to encourage the building of community gardens and the growing of food in publicly accessible places (Green Ribbon Project). And helping each other to restoring this planet to its divinely intended Edenic state before it is too late.

This group will also act as a central meeting place for individuals wishing to join in the continued building of the ark on Hawaii Island next summer.

Check out http://tribes.tribe.net/ecoark? to reach Builders of the Arks! Poke around and see if it sounds like a group you would be interested in participating in. We would enjoy input from all positive, creative souls in resurrecting the balance between humanity and our planet. Aloha!

sky-makai — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 08:55:15 GMT

So, I've returned to Hilo... after a year of life at Kona...
Sheesh, it's dry, there.
I'm digging up the old beds I made at Rae and Glen's, on Wailuku... and, getting started at thier land at mile marker 13, Pahoa... it's all startup, there... weekwacking along the roads and paths and around the structures... planting along and around those...
I've got a bunch of Brassica seeds, ordered from Peaceful Valley Farm Supply. I ordered in bulk... so, if you need/want some seeds, let me know; I've got more than I plan to use, this year.
