Victoria, and Vancouver Island, is a hub of Cultural Emergence.

People from all over the place come to live or visit, fall in love with this place and migrate to this area in search of community, connection with nature, vibrant culture, and real people.

This makes this place rich in cultural diversity and a unique kind of aliveness.

People are doing amazing stuff here… creating healing centers, spirit music, taking a stand for nature and the old-growth forest, community gatherings, nature schools, alternative ways of living closer to nature, reclaiming sovereignty, etc.

Yet, something essential is missing…

Fingers point in all directions naming the things that are missing:

• Prices of rent and food are too high
• Everyone is doing their own thing isolated in their homes
• The government regulations are too strict
• The disparity between locals and foreigners from other provinces and countries is too big
• People are nice but superficial
• People are in denial about the reality of the world we live in
