Our group of 5 families is passionate about growing good food, and helping to teach others who want to learn to live on the land. We grew up in an Amish community, and have a rich heritage of community living, growing and preserving our own food, and we desire to help others who share the passion but have only experienced city living.

We each live on our own private plots of land, the area is rural, with most properties being about 5 acres in size. There are gentle hills, and trees, and some cleared land as well. Our homesteads are currently all on the same road within one mile from each other, and properties do come up for sale around us occasionally.

We live about 6 miles from the town of Bloomington, so close enough to commute to work.

For my whole life I have dreamed of 'greening' the desert. In October of 2019, while earning a certificate in Permaculture, I learned how practically and simply this can be achieved. The Island of Molokai is one of the most remote in Hawaii. It is 260 square miles in area with about 7,000 people. There are lush tropical rain forests and mountains in the East and the North, while in the South and the West the land can be far more arid. For decades, much of the dryer, flatter areas were subjected to unsustainable agricultural practices, and in recent years have been unused. As a consequence, land prices are extremely reasonable. I recently saw a listing at $570,000 for 75 acres. ($7,000 per acre or about $20,000 per hectare.)

There are numerous compelling reasons for choosing this region for a Kin's Domain: 1.) Molokai is underpopulated and not a tourist destination. 2.) The local community seems to have lost hope for this part of the island; we are not competing with them by purchasing land there. 3.) Although 'greening' this district will by no means be quick and easy, it will give us great satisfaction to witness the unfolding Perfecting of the Dwelling Land. Anastasia admonishes, "The space of the forest will not be quick to accept newcomers, and will take a long time examining their motives, habits, and way of life." Perhaps by restoring damaged land even more potently facilitates our value to Nature and to the Cosmos. 4.) The climate on this land is exquisite: Mostly sunny, and rather dry ... but once we fortify water retention, plants and people will thrive in abundance. 5.) I have been scouting parcels between a 10 to 20 minute bike ride to the beaches of the West End. These beaches are unbelievably beautiful, safe to swim, and sparsely visited. A fundamental dimension of my vision is to have constant access to the ocean for swimming, contemplating, and for beholding sunset. 6.) This part of Molokai has unbelievable nighttime star-gazing ... the best and the brightest I have ever beheld.

On my domain, I plan to cultivate a forest garden and build my house of adobe. I need lots of help developing further details of my vision.

In the settlement we plan to create the best fitness center on Earth. I have extremely brilliant fitness/wellness colleagues from my hometown of New York City who plan to relocate with us.

Greetings fellow sisters and brothers, Very nice to meet each of You! And congratulations on choosing life and a mode of being enobled. I am working with nature to create life in balance with the universe through artistic ventures into the soul spirit being of my life, the animal life, the plant life the microbial life, unified with the cosmos and YOU!!!-- a Goddess in waiting--Together the waters wash away our torment with the technocratic world where by the bad ugly is turned to the good, the anguish to joy, the pain to happiness, the hate to a beautiful translucent being of love bursting with life. Come join me oh maiden so fair and strong, calm and endearing, nurturing and loving, and the world is at our command.

One acre food forest at the end of a short dirt road. A work in progress. Planting many fruit trees and learning what works and what doesn't with the local weather and sandy soil conditions! Reading about permaculture and trying to put it into practice. We are low-key, down-to-earth, minimalists. Taking it slow.

Aloha! We are currently searching for 2.5 acers of land in Hawaii for our Kin's Domain. We are looking on the north shores of Oahu or Kauaii. If others are interested in buying land in Hawaii there are larger parcels that we could go in on for better prices, feel free to reach out. We have our downpayment and are ready to buy. In the meantime we are learning about permaculture and sustainable building.

I live a simple life. I'm happiest when I can be outside and I really enjoy being productive. I love learning and I'm always discovering new subjects to inspire me. I'm a big animal lover and tend to have several varieties. I think my biggest passion in life is helping. People animals, plants, nature... it doesn't matter. I want to help. And, I love building things!
