Accommodation

Kahuna Falls Retreat

We intend to co-create:

 

Deep Community

 

‘Communitas’ is the feeling of oneness. We seek to come together as Gaians around our new story. 

 

Collective Healing

 

‘Catharsis’ is necessary for us to become whole. We will explore the healing of collective trauma and how we transformed this into the birth of a new age.

 

Ecstatic Consciousness

 

We feel ‘Ecstasis’ when we meet with open hearts, love and childlike faith that we are here to transform the destructive path of the dystopian story. 

 

Radical Hope

The future should not be predicted but achieved. We are here to architect and reverse engineer positive futures in a non-incremental way.

 

Unifying Narrative

Our artifact is a response to the crisis of meaning by crafting a new story of a thriving civilization in harmony with all life.
