 The components to express our vision:
Spiritual Growth
The esoteric wisdom of all religions is honored and practiced. True freedom of the individual consciousness to merge with the universal consciousness is the ideal which unites us all. The practice of Yoga, which means union and living united individually and collectively, is our path. Daily sadhana (discipline), which tunes our being to the highest vibration, is our foundation.
Wellness and Healing
Through nutrition; bodywork and spa services; frequency, movement and creative therapies, we support the functionality, pleasure and longevity of our physical vehicle.
Alternative Education
Through human development programs that clarify our relationship to birth and death, provide skills and qualities to lead a creative life, offer training to grow loving relationships and dynamic community; art programs which encourage creative expression and advanced thinking; and science technologies to continuously broaden the knowledge of our world; we enhance the quality of life in the body on the earth.
Sustainable Living
Alternative technologies, utilizing wind, solar power, water conservation systems, rammed earth and hay bale construction; organic agriculture to provide toxin-free nutrition; and animal husbandry which exemplifies the respect and love for all life; provide us a balanced and synergistic relationship with our mother earth.

Statement of Housing Non-discrimination:
Our community does not discriminate in regards to housing based on race/color, national origin, religion, sex/gender, family status (i.e. having children, not having children, or being pregnant), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, ancestry, source of income, age, creed, personal appearance, political affiliation, HIV infection, military/veteran status, unfavorable military discharge, gender identity or expression, receiving public assistance, or being the victim of domestic abuse.

Because our housing is a single housing unit and requires the sharing of bathroom, kitchen and common space membership/residency may be restricted based on sex/gender in accordance with the law. Our community does not discriminate based on race/color, national origin, religion, family status (i.e. having children, not having children, or being pregnant), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, ancestry, source of income, age, creed, personal appearance, political affiliation, HIV infection, military/veteran status, unfavorable military discharge, gender identity or expression, receiving public assistance, or domestic abuse.
