Questions, answered plainly.

A piece of land, still to be found, where ten things come together on one ground: community, ecology, spirituality, ritual, ceremony, frequencies, music, art, light and families. A place people come to and return to, not a festival with a date and not a resort.

It will hold a festival, and the festival is one of the ways the land gets paid for. But Spiritual Land itself is the land: the place that stays when the festival is over.

It will host retreats, but it is not a business that sells rooms. It is a place held by a circle of people, with a small group living on it and many more returning to it.

It sits between a community you move into and a place you visit. A small group will tend the land year-round; most people will come and go. Nobody has to sell their house to belong.

No. Spiritual here means the inner life, open to every tradition and to none. No doctrine, no leader whose word is final, nothing you have to believe.

Because the domain says what it is: a spiritual land. The line that came with it, "the sacred space for your true self", has been the anchor from the first day.

Nowhere yet. The land has not been found. The search is open and not tied to one country. See the search page for exactly what we look for.

When the circle and the gatherings have made it possible. No date is published and none will be until there is ground under it.

Twenty hectares and up as a rough guide, with living water, forest and meadow, real dark and quiet, and room to grow more forest.

Go to the co-create page, choose "I have land, or know land", and tell us where it is, what is on it and what you would want. A person will answer.

A foundation or cooperative held by the circle, with rules that stop it ever being sold for profit or to anyone outside the purpose.

Through gatherings held by the circle: a festival, retreats and ceremonies. Their surplus goes into a fund that exists only to buy and hold the land.

Not yet, and not through this website. There is nothing for sale here. When there is a land fund open to contributions, the circle will hear first. Money that would give someone control over the land is refused.

They are open to the circle: the numbers, not a summary. That is one of the twelve principles.

Leave your email on the join page. That is the circle. A few letters a year, when there is something real to say.

Yes. Tell us on the co-create page. Ceremony holders and healers are asked to come and take part first, because trust is built in person.

Yes, and the rest of the family too. The place is built for families, with a children’s village at the centre and vetted adults holding it. See the pillar Families.

No. Come for the forest, the food, the music and the people. If something else happens, good.

The site is in English because the circle is international. On the land, whatever people speak. Dutch and Spanish will be common.
