QUOTES:

"First night at Kulana. Woke to the sound of rain makai... feeling one foot in the past and one in the future... I needed solitude, new landscapes, work that worked my body and my soul... Don't know where this road is going but I'm happy to walk it."
-Cora Stryker
poet, photographer, researcher of rare and endangered plants.
"Thank you, thank you...for providing a space for us to rejuveninate, to dream, to listen to our ancestors and the spirits that guide us. Thank you for giving us the space to keep things in perspective...Thank you for inviting us to plant a palm tree and to take with us the seeds of serenity...Thank the Earth that surrounds you for receiving our prayers, the rain for soothing our thoughts, the breeze for encouraging us, and warmth beneath, the spirit of Pele, for warming our imaginations."
-Mark Anthony, Patrisse, Quay, Ariane, & Vitaly
teachers, writers, clothing-makers, life adventurers, and unique community members from L.A.
"Wow! What can I say about such a life-changing experience? An amazing two and a half month opportunity for contemplation, meditation and internal work--those things that needed attention oozed up to the surface and flowed out like lava from Kilauea... Books, conversations and movies that all converged on points key to my book and my spiritual growth... lessons in existing harmoniously... discovering a true sense of community.... I have to leave for now, but I will return!"
-Jordan J. Marshall
singer-songwriter, writer, guitarist, healer.
"This is my third year and visit--what a joy! My grieving and all obstacles are dispersed... I am divinely blessed and guided... I smile with satisfaction... garlic, pasta, lobster, butter--pleasure. New friendships blossom in the fertile soil. I am cradled by the shadow place of swirling water, cleansing rain, surf collides with the shore and I am soothed. Back in 4 months if all goes well."
-Shirley Hargrove
nurse, massage therapist, farmer, inventor.
"This is the cleanest community kitchen I have ever seen!"
-Jonathan Lee Reimer

"I came back (from Kulana) feeling really calm and rested for the first time in a long time."
-Laura McCamy

"The quiet, the stars, the abundance of oxygen. The vast space to do nothing. The volcano crunching under my feet: Kulana has given me the space to realize (what) I want."
-Seti Mayet
singer, actor, model, businesswoman.

"The creation of ART requires inspiration; the development of an artist requires recognition. Kulana provides both in ample doses."
-Jonas Holmes III
political satirist, writer, trash art sculptor.
"Creative people are the visionaries of this planet. Kulana was created as an affordable, beautiful, simple, sacred place for us visionaries to do our thing!"
-Cristina Salat
