Seed of Life is dedicated to share knowledge and wisdom about Living in Unison with the Lord… and the Land! Currently, we have a Rumble channel in which we have been sharing our ongoing progress building out our community. Please follow our video blog for updates and tips on Permaculture and beyond. https://rumble.com/c/SeedofLife
Seed of Life will Host:
- Weekly Friday Night Shabbat Service. These gatherings are to increase one’s learning and leaning into G*D, including Bible (Torah-Tanakh-Old Testament and New Testament) as well as other sacred book study. This also provides an opportunity to have a communal meal for the community.
- Monthly Sunday Gospel Music Jams. These will be the Second Sunday of the Month. Karaoke tracks may be provided to make a joyous noise unto the Lord.
- Seasonal Retreats. We will host guest presenters on diverse topics such as holistic health, alternative energy, growing mushrooms and so much more!

Shabbat begins just after sundown. However, our service generally begins at 7PM summer or winter in order to accommodate people’s ability to commute to our site after rush hour traffic.

Seed of Life – Sacred Geometry Symbolism
We are a Judeo-Christian Educational Outpost. However, we do not discount the many other ways that G*D communicates with his children. G*D does not make mistakes. He provides opportunities to find him and seek discernment. For instance, the name of our Sanctuary is the “Seed of Life.” This is a reference to a geometric shape with seven circles overlapping. In Sacred Geometry, it represents the seven days of Creation. Rainbows, Eastern chakras systems, Western musical scales, all are seven in number. The Platonic solids and the well-known Flower of Life and Fruit of Life are based on this fundamental pattern. Our Creator is symbolized by first inner circle (Spherical Octahedron). Where the first two circles intersect, it represents the creation of Light by the Lord. They form a shape known as the Vesica Pisces – from within we see both the eye of G*D and the symbol of the Fish.
We often use the Tripod of Life in our teaching the concepts of balance within Mind-Body-Spirit. When the Seed of Life symbol is expanded and brought into a third dimension, the Platonic solids are formed. It is the Octahedron, when it spins on its axis, that becomes the Merkaba of dimensional Creation again. Here is a very detailed explanation: consciousawareness.info/sacred-geometry
The oldest example of the Seed of Life can be found at the ancient Osirian temple in Abydos, Egypt. Later representations are found in synagogues and churches across the globe. To those concerned about the “Pagan ” or “New Age” implications and associations of using or discussing such symbols, please consider that G*D invented mathematics as a multidimensional harmonic language for us to kythe and be in awe of his Creation.
WholeWay Home Education
For over ten years we turned our average urban home lot in the middle of Downtown Las Vegas into a Food Forest in the Desert! We combined traditional landscape architecture, permaculture concepts and decorative pruning with permaculture and pruning for production to make a yard that is not only attractive to neighbors, but also fruitful with food and foraging. If we could build a Food Forest in Las Vegas, then YOU can grow one ANYWHERE! Here are some blog entries from our previous incarnation in Las Vegas, NV, WholeWay Home. These blogs provide insight in to building a sustainable homestead in the middle of the city!
