> spirituality and other  topics of your choosing. We will apply what 
> we learn to the creation of  our mini-community, within the larger 
> crucible of Lost Valley's daily  cycles. We will also consider Lost 
> Valley's mission, structure and  operating agreements. And we will 
> learn some practical applications by  participating in various

> Permaculture, Naka-Ima, Childcare and Service and  Sacred Space.

> possible if  arranged in advance for those on a very limited 
> budget).
