Kailasa is a group of Social Architects and Cultural Pioneers uniting to provide concrete examples of how we can live and thrive in peace and harmony, with ourselves and with our environment. To do this, we are creating a diversity of intentional communities, with sustainability, education, and health and nutrition as the core concepts.

The members of the Kailasa team have made the restructuring of our society and culture a primary focus of life, only to be set aside to attend to the persistent nagging to generate enough income to satisfy the "cost of living" in the current socioeconomic system. Unlike most for-profit corporations where the employees are compensated for their "40 hours a week," our team members are living and breathing this, even while they are at their day job.

Our team started to build around a vision of building an intentional community for ourselves in the Northern California city of Redding at the beginning of 2012, and during that time, the property has been sold to another individual. What has developed, however, is the opportunity to help the STAR School in Flagstaff, Arizona build an intentional community around their existing nationally-acclaimed off-grid school for Navajo and Hopi children through 8th grade. While we are still intending to create a home for the Kailasa tribe in Northern California, there is a very good chance that funding could come through for the STAR School project that would allow for the Kailasa team to move full time into actively creating a land-based project. At this time the Kailasa team is working with the STAR School organization as well as the Global Phoenix Foundation, the non-profit that is assisting in arranging the funding.

As there have been countless hurdles we did not realize we would have to jump, we are reluctant to give any time estimates, considering not one of them has stuck throughout this year. We will make an announcement on this site when we have any solid word or firm dates.
