Mission Statement
We are a sustainable, agricultural & healing arts community of volunteer members dedicated to the practice & teaching of organic farming which espouses the use of natural fertilizer & toxin-free pesticide control & the principals of permaculture which include preservation of our natural resources, use of alternative energy sources & daily health practices that promote wellness & rejuvenation for a optimum healthy life-style.
The purpose of our ministry is to educate our guests culled from the eco-agriculture tourist trade with our experiential hands-on agriculture & health classes that our guests can take home with them & implement the earth-enhancing consciousness into their own communities. Philosophically & spiritually we agree with Gandhi who taught non-violent methods to change the world & the Essenes, a disciplined spiritual community of pacifist individuals living a life of love & devotion focused on their profound dedication to the health & healing practices as epitomized by Jesus Christ, performing good deeds & honoring women equally with men.
The Living for Consciousness Ministry is a non-denominational organization honoring all spiritual traditions. We offer sanctuary to the members & guests who come seeking guidance, counseling, truth & understanding. The ministry values & teaches its members communication techniques so they can be role models of non-violence in their inter-actions with each other, our guests & society. By modeling the consciousness of the spiritual & educational classes we offer, we practice what we
teach & aspire to be living models.
We choose daily mind, body & spiritual healing practices to expand our consciousness, to help us live in harmony with the laws of nature, inside & outside ourselves & to become conscious of the laws utilizing them in every moment of our life. Our practices of a healthy life-style include dietary choices of eating organic food which we grow on our farm with an emphasis on raw, uncooked foods; internal cleansing practices to promote a healthy immune system; Yoga to promote a flexible integrated mind- body; physical fitness exercises for muscle strength & communication classes to establish a compassionate model of interaction between our members.
We are committed as the Essenes were to activities that promote brotherhood, sisterhood & the expansion of love, harmony & beauty.
