ardhanariswaras

haiku, Hawaii,

United States

Ardhanarishwara is the name of a Hindu God and Goddess joined together in one body and in marriage. The diety personifies spiritual enlightenment as being a blend of the masculine and feminine. This community is for evolved two-spirited (transgender male-to-female, or female-to-male individuals), for their partners, and for individuals of genuine spiritual maturity.

I have been searching for property on the island of Maui in Hawaii to develop a completly sustainable eco-village for myself and for those of our genre. Aside from all the typical eco-village amenities such as: alternative energy generation, solar water heating, food and vegetable permiculture, free range poultry, fish farming, rain harvesting and catchment, ocean vegetable and fish harvesting; the vision includes a retreat available to international travelers/vacationers/visitors.

To my knowledge, there is no other place in the world that is set up intentionally and primarily for two-spirited people. Hopefully musicians, craftspeople, holistics, gardeners, psychics, artisans, body therapists, etc, will live at,, vacation at,, or in some way be connected to this one-of-a-kind gathering in Paradise. I have a modest sum of money to invest, but with several others willing to join me in this vision, we could buy a sizable tract of land at favorable prices. (I've seen 90 lush acres sell for $795K recently!!)

We would be living in true Paradise in a Polynesian culture who's Elders still have the highest respect for those of our kind: the Mahu and Mahu wahihi. If you're fed up with the failure of the American dream, and agonize about a world that is doomed, I solidly believe this island will easily survive the coming global collapse. Like a Noah's Ark of enlightened souls, we will be far-away from the chaos; in the nurturing warmth and beauty of Maui.
