Broken Earth Village
Lefke, New Mexico,
Cyprus
(Thriving)
 We had attempted to start the community, but have decided America is going to become a very dangerous place to live. I will leave this listing up for a coupe of months and use it to direct people to the most amazing community (Darga) I know of. It is located in Lefke Cyprus and EVERYONE is invited who is on a spiritual path.

Thanks and Good Luck!

In Lefke Cyprus, come through Larnaca Airport and ask any cab driver to take you to Sheikh Nazim's Darga or call ahead we will have someone pick you up.
