Kipuka Temple

pahoa, Hawaii,

United States

We are a group of people living together on the coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, 10 minute walk to kehena beach, a clothing optional black sand beach. We value consciousness, sobriety, fun, massage, yoga, music, gardening, art, nature, beauty.

we don't have many rules....we have an intention to speak our truth, listen to others, follow our desire, and be compassionate. we have a weekly gathering to check in, make announcements and requests and reveal our truth in a manner that builds connection and trust.

we practice decision making by sociocracy which means you can only object if you have another proposal. no endless meetings or strife. No conflicts or arguing in the public spaces.

we encourage people to communicate for connection and to do conscious emotional release work.

no smoking, sex positive/sensual culture, earthy, autonomy and cooperation. healthy diets up to you, food sharing, potlucks.
