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.
