| The Lightwork Ecovillage exists to create and maintain a safe and supportive environment that cultivates spiritual wholeness, a sustainable lifestyle, and a rich, loving community.
We are not currently living on the land full time, as the infrastructure is not yet in place. We are there most weekends and throughout most of July and August. We have an office at our meditation centre in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
The ecovillage is located on Hope Point, Gambier Island. The property is about a 20-minute water-taxi ride from Horseshoe Bay, which is 40 minutes north of Vancouver, BC. The property is 80 acres of varied terrain. The land was logged by a previous owner in the late ’90s and is recovering nicely with young fir and pine trees already 12 feet tall.
The land is south-facing, making it an excellent growing site rich with clay. There is a 15-foot dug well supplying our water. There is currently a rustic cabin on the land that serves as shelter on rainy days and is host to many yummy feasts. We like to eat well during work parties! The property is off the electrical grid. We have a solar panel installed to supply electricity to the cabin and a generator to run power tools for building.
We envision having communal spaces such as a spiritual sanctuary, dining hall, and organic gardens to support daily interactions among members. Individual homes will allow for personal time.
We are creating a community that honours Spirit, where we nurture each other’s finest attributes and support wholeness. This village embraces the enthusiasm of the young, the drive of adults, and the wisdom of elders.
We have a shared spiritual practice called Lightwork. Anyone interested in getting involved is recommended to take an introductory meditation class to see if our community is a good fit. |
