Some more images of our hosts. They are kind enough to invite Fiona to photograph them and she is kind enough to share these images with us.
Permanent Residents at The Land
Our spiritual community is just “borrowing” The Land. These are our sacred landlords. They were kind enough to pose for Fiona over the past weeks!
Perfect Imperfection
by John AntonacciA risk in becoming invested in any relationship; be it within a spiritual community, a romantic relationship, a career endeavor, a family situation, is the exposure of things about oneself that one would rather keep hidden. If we keep our distance regarding any of these relationships we can preserve the illusion of perfection […]
Life at The Land is Good?
I often wear a hat to The Land that says “Life is Good”, as a reminder to live in gratitude for all of my blessings. I have many hopes for The Land. I hope that it will be a diverse and inclusive community. I hope that it will embrace love for all of creation. I […]
The Promise of The Land
One of the lines from the song “Both Sides Now” by Joni Mitchell is “something’s lost but something’s gained in living every day.” I look at the miraculous developed world in which we live and marvel at what we’ve gained. I can buy fresh ocean fish in Denver and eat fruit in any season because […]
A Piece of God’s Earth

A community which values spirituality and service above sacraments – and relationships above rituals. My hope is that humanity is becoming ready to awaken to the divinity existing within every part of creation, from […]

Today, of course, most of our cycles are created by other human beings. In developed nations, we […]
An Unwavering Belief in The Land’s Promise
Some of my favorite memories involve growing, cooking and sharing food. So when the idea to start The Land project began, I knew it was a cause I could get behind. Gathering people around food, faith and farming is a wonderful way to celebrate life. It allows people to connect with nature on a spiritual […]
A Connection and Passion for The Land
Love is the greater than all of the pain in the world. To me “The Land” is a place of Love.
