Lodging and sustainable architecture.
Indigenous home-building from local, renewable materials. Hand-cast hempcrete, timber, volcanic clay, and lime. The way our ancestors built, refined for today and held to current safety practice.
Home / The land
The land is
a relative.
A sovereign fellowship of the KWAJI:YÄ K'NÖGÉ Nation, a West Indian people, holding six hundred acres of ancestral territory under allodial title. The land remembers us. Our duty is to live true within her care.
National grounds. Sovereign territory.
Six hundred acres,
Six hundred acres,
under allodial title.
The KWAJI:YÄ K'NÖGÉ Nation holds six hundred acres of ancestral territory under allodial title. These lands are affirmed under ancestral law and international recognition of Indigenous rights.
The name itself is a teaching. Wākale names leadership, protection, communal guidance. Amotī names truth, breath, ancestral continuity. To live in this place is to learn how the two move together.
Living covenant
Not a resource.
Not a resource.
A household.
The land is not a resource but a household. It remembers us. Our duty is to protect her, feed her, and live true within her care.
Guests and instruction
Participants in covenant,
Participants in covenant,
not customers.
We welcome guests from every nation, not as customers but as participants in covenant. Our work is offered as instruction, not entertainment. Those who walk this land do so as students of the soil, the elders, and themselves.
How the fellowship
holds together.
Land stewardship and permaculture.
Soil rebuilding, native re-seeding, water and food systems rooted in traditional ecological knowledge. We feed every workshop from the land we tend.
Cultural and holistic practice.
Storytelling, language, ceremony, movement, and the daily rhythms that carry ancestral memory forward. The work that does not show up on a syllabus but holds the others up.
Intimacy over scale.
Every workshop is taught by elders and practitioners of the KWAJI:YÄ K'NÖGÉ Nation and our partner communities. The land sets the pace. We choose small over scalable.
- Indigenous-led, always. Every workshop is held by an elder or recognised practitioner of the Nation.Practice
- Small circles. Twelve to sixteen seats. Intimacy over scale.Practice
- Open pricing, open practice. No hidden costs and no spiritual gatekeeping.Practice
- Reciprocity, not extraction. A portion of every fellowship fee returns directly to land restoration.Practice
We do not own the land.
The land is a household, and we are its current keepers.
