I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙
Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
While the challenges of living here at GaiaYoga Gardens have always been very notable, I can honestly say that I truly love the life I've been creating for myself here over the past 5+ years. The level of freedom, self-determination, and sovereigty that I have here at GaiaYoga, and in Lower Puna in general, far exceeds what I've experienced at any other point in my life, or living in any other location. It truly is a whole different world here.
The fact that I can live authentically, openly, honestly, and transparently, orienting myself by what excites and brings me most alive, is brilliant beyond words. Being able to live for weeks and months without ever putting on a stitch of clothing, so close to this exquite Earth, and so deep in the vitality of Nature, is absolutely priceless, and something I wouldn't trade for anything.
I adore being able work work with my beloved plants, both in terms of creating beautiful and useful spaces, and by using them to make potent medicinal teas. Using the raw whole milk from our cow, Daisy, to make kefir, and in my glorious superfood fire coffee, is magnificent, and being able to share these things, and my other alchemical healing elixirs, with others brings me deep joy.
That I, as a goddess-worshipping man, can share my immense appreciation, love, care, and reverence that I feel for women in the deep, integral energy-body-tantric healing work sessions that I offer and give them, through my nurturing devotional touch, and to have it not only be appreciated by the women with whom I work, also to be exalted and spread in gratitude by word of mouth to their sisters, fulfills, touches, and nourishes me more than I could ever express in words. That I can make a good living working with women in this way is superlatively exquisite indeed. No, my life at GaiaYoga Gardens is not perfect or even ideal, but it is moving ever-closer to that for which I most long, and that which I most desire. Yep, I love the live that I live, and I am overwhelmingly grateful to live where and how I do.
Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my morning-afternoon Hive round, around 1PM. The first thing that I did was to make food for Iolanthe, and then spend some time with her making art, walking around, taking photos of the beauty around us, and eating blackberries from my Mysore blachberry planting. After hanging out with Io for a while, I finally strained and out and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), took a few more photos for these posts, then I cleaned and tidied up the Flow House in preparation for my session today with Emily. I took more photos as I walked a short distance down our jungle road, before finally heading back to the Flow House, with my quart jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, to jump into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. There was the community Logisitcs meeting, from 6:30PM to 8:30PM, that I attended, continuing with my Hive tasks through most of it. When the meeting was over, I made my way back to the Flow House, to keep going with Hive. I got everything on Hive done my just after 11:30PM, and after a little engagement on Waves, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 12:15AM. I woke up first at 6AM, still feeling like I needed more sleep, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, before going back to sleep until almost 9AM, at which point I finally got out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.
It's now just after 12PM, so a fantastic time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before Emily arrives for her session. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, we go, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
