Great Spirits Land Arkansas Rainbow Family tribe
eureka springs, Arkansas
 "WELCOME HOME PHAMILY"
We are a community of people who are striving to live in harmony with the land as a self-sufficient village. We are brought together from many cultures, stemming from naturalized Americans to those of Irish backgrounds and beyond. We are artists, musicians and spiritual seekers.
At this time we are working on a major project.
1-The home-base.
2-Income streams.
"Great Spirits Land Community".
We as a collective group of people with common interests have come to realize that more time is needed with our young, our extended families, and as life-giving beings. We are offering safety, togetherness and love, as a Rainbow tribe.
we honor the Great Spirit Chief.
And for the future, it is our desire that within two years, we will have an organized, mobile convoy with various resources, ready to help other forming communities to get a firm start.
We care about others, instead of only ourselves. We act as a life-caring unity for community. We offer resources and help to others who wish to live off the land as a whole for all of life as the Great Spirit Chief intended for us to do. We invoke peace and say prayers with honor.
We envision total empowerment as a self sustainable way of life. Towards that aim, we offer access to a nice, local piece of land with camping space and tree-houses, for guests and visitors, so that we can meet together, discuss future planning, host potlucks and enjoy music around the bonfire.
our goals, are Sunshine Wolf Refuge, as a nonprofit facility for the protection of the animals and to educate the public about their fears of brother wolf along with Two Eagles artist's village.
There is also availability for awareness music festivals and powwows.
We are planing, wild mustangs as well for breaking for resale to guides and for family horse in-camping. breaking horses the Indian way.
This is a spiritual sanctuary dedicated to the land and the natural environment.
We are bringing social and educational opportunities together with potlucks, workshops, and websites.
We are working together for a higher empowerment of consciousness for us all.
Great Spirits Land and The Wild Human Initiative have merged has brother and sister tribes for the betterment of all.
Honor all of life.
Love to all of life.
Peace to all of life.
Prayers for all of life.
