SYNERGY COMMUNITY - MAUI CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY
Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii,
United States
(West Maui Mountains)
Main House
 SYNERGY COMMUNITY – Organic Farm and Conscious Community of Maui.
We seek open-minded, heart-centered people to join us in paradise in a conscious, tantric, naturist, polyamorist, meditative, psycho-spiritual community nestled in a Maui jungle. You must be kind, honest, loving, open-minded, spiritual, neat, clean, tidy, quiet, reliable, responsible, financially-secure, non-tobacco smoking, environmentally conscious, sex-positive, and committed to work on and heal your family of origin hang-ups to join this experimental community and create a new model for extended family. We base our new-paradigm community on love and support for one another, kind, open and authentic communication, tantra, intentional family, and intimate friendships.
Community activities include emotional support groups, workshops, parties, and hosting. Applicants trained in healing arts, music, construction, and gardening would help lots.
