The Lightwork Ecovillage exists to create and maintain a
safe and supportive environment that cultivates spiritual wholeness, a
sustainable lifestyle and a rich, loving community.
We are located on Hope
Point, Gambier Island.
The property is about a 20 minute water taxi ride from Horseshoe
Bay which is 40 minutes north of Vancouver, BC.
The property is 80 acres of varied terrain. The land was logged by a
previous owner in about 1998 and is recovering nicely with young fir and pine
trees already 12' tall.
The property is off the electrical grid. A solar panel supplies
electricity to the cabin and a generator runs power tools for building.
There is a wind and solar powered internet repeater at the top of the ridge
which gives us internet access.
The land is south facing making it an excellent growing site. The
ground is fertile and rich with clay. There is a 15 foot dug well
supplying our water as well as several rain barrels. There is a rustic
cabin, called Hawk House, which serves as shelter on rainy days and is host to
many delicious feasts.
Check out the Our Vision page to learn about our plans for the land.
