Looking for a meaningful experience this summer?
The Lama Foundation, an off-grid, solar-powered intentional community in the mountains of northern New Mexico, is offering two opportunities that may be of interest to those looking to experience life a little deeper.
The first is a workshop to be held August 5-10 for people ages 18-29. This is a special youth camp in which participants will share their life experiences in meaningful and transformative ways in the context of living high up in the mountains amidst a sustainable, spiritual community. The workshop includes hiking, group discussions, various spiritual practices, a Native American sweat-lodge and many other wonderful ways of being together and learning more about oneself.
The second is a chance to be a "summer steward." Summer stewards work with the community in all aspects of mountain life: cooking, building straw-bale solar structures, gardening and making community decisions. Additionally, stewards learn together about and practice various spiritual traditions. It is a real opportunity to step out of the frenetic pace of our lives, settle deeper into ourselves and participate in building a sustainable community. Summer stewards can be at Lama for various time periods throughout the summer. I believe there is a minimum two-week commitment. Most stewards stay at least a month.
Both opportunities are inexpensive and promise to be extremely fulfilling.
Lama is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Summers offer near-perfect weather, stunning views and healthy living.
Please write to Professor Nicholson (simon.nicholson@american.edu) for fliers announcing both programs. You can also check out the Lama Foundation website at: lamafoundation.org.
Professor Wapner, at AU, has taught classes at Lama for the past three years and would be happy to answer any questions you might have: pwapner@american.edu.
