Phanto Bolo
Cripple Creek, Colorado,
United States
We WIBOME (Walking in Balance on Mother Earth) like to call ourselves the smallest and least-structured intentional community in North America. A few good neighbors occupy about 80 acres on a rural ranch at 9,700 feet, in view of Pikes Peak. An extended family of over 200 gathers here on this sacred land to celebrate our love for Mother Earth. Sweat lodges, wheels, potlucks, and joyful visits happen year-round. Phanto Bolo has no leaders and no rules, save one: the law of love. The community, though still growing, will remain small. The individual residents who form our nucleus are slowly getting established, but resources are limited. We give what we can, hosting frequent visitors and sharing. Anyone wishing to visit Phanto Bolo should contact us at least one month in advance. We welcome correspondence and inquiries.
