Earth Re-Leaf
Naalehu, Hawaii,
United States
 Earth Re-Leaf (continually refining) is a cooperative-consensus organic farm and nature sanctuary focusing on several areas including but not limited to: (1) refining consensus council; (2) evolving relationships; (3) responsible consensus childcare; (4) raw-foods vegan; (5) evolving life and language beyond polarity; (6) nonviolence; (7) self-sufficiency, sustainability, and co-op business; (8) land trust; (9) spiritual evolution.
Our foundational council agreements are: (1) short silent period before speaking; (2) all get uninterrupted three-minute speaking rotations; (3) divisions into groups of 12 or less; (4) decisions and actions based on 100 percent agreement.
A permaculture orchard plus a few small private shelters and community buildings is situated on one acre of land at 800 feet. Another two acres are nearby at 5,000 feet. We seek to attract a core group of self-reliant, grounded, country-farmer spiritual pioneers that grows and divides into supportive splinter families. Our simple council guarantees freedom from control and domination. Call, email, or write with questions.
