Fair Grove, Missouri,
United States
House
 Nasalam is a spiritual community following a path of Wisdom and Power, moderated by Love. We are dedicated to helping humankind achieve it's highest potential. Our lifestyle is designed to assist us in that goal by being demanding on us as individuals, but being gentle to the planet and all living things, made easier by living in the country on sacred land. We live a tribal lifestyle to provide the physical and emotional support needed by all humans. As a community we believe in enjoying life to the fullest but within the context of spiritual growth. We employ daily practices to regulate the spiritual life of the community, and as we believe that sexual energy is a primary tool for realization of the divine we employ erotic interaction as part of our spiritual practice. Because of our erotic orientation, we are really only interested in polyamorous members.
The more complete vision of Nasalam, its spiritual beliefs and social philosophy, can be found on our webpage.
