Formed: 1986 Established: 1996
Hummingbird Community
Mora, New Mexico,
United States
 Hummingbird Community is located on 500 acres of lush land nestled against the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Northern New Mexico. We began as a non local community within Global Family bonding through our extensive international peace and educational work. Global Family, founded in 1986, is a non-profit NGO (non-governmental organization) affiliated with the United Nations. Global Family's purpose is to support a shift in consciousness from separation and fear to unity, love and cooperation.
As social pioneers, we share a commitment to modeling the principles and practices of co-creation. Since our founding as Hummingbird Ranch in 1996 we have grown into a diverse group of deeply connected individuals who support one another in fulfilling each of our soul’s purpose. Over the past eight years we have offered at our facility an array of summer programs, which have included Permaculture Design Certification, Youth Leadership Trainings, Rites of Passage experiences and spiritual retreats.
Currently a core group of Hummingbird partners are stewarding a vision to manifest new social forms--ways of being in the world--that embody an awakened consciousness. This includes the development of Hummingbird Living School as an eco-village with a growing spectrum of educational trainings and curricula. The focus of the school is to support the emergence of a co-creative, regenerative planetary culture. Also envisioned are a Healing Retreat Center and various cottage industries.
We invite others to join us in a living laboratory of discovery where Spirit leads us to the birth of a new world.
