About

Live in an Essene Community in Central Texas. For over a decade we worked to build a prototype Suburban Homestead Organic (GMO free) Food Forest in Downtown Las Vegas (in the Mohave Desert) using Veganic Gardening and Permaculture Principles. We worked to grow all of the plants traditionally found in the Holy Land and Garden of Eden (Pistachios, Figs, Dates, Pomegranates, Olives, Citrus, Jujubes, Carob, Mulberry and much more). On Winter Solstice of 2012 (12-21-12) we launched our WholeWAY Home concept. For almost ten years, we hosted kindred spirits from all over Planet Earth. In addition, we traveled and taught about Essene Biogenic Living, Raw Food Vegetarianism, benefits of Raw Cacao, Fermentation, How to Kiss Addiction Goodbye, and Spiritual Evolution.

Now we are redefining The Way of our Sanctuary. We have traveled and been inspired by Rabbi Dr. Gabriel Cousens at Tree of Life, Brother Day at the Essene Monastery in Oregon, the Enchanted Garden in San Diego, along with the writings of Edmond Bordeaux Székely, and many communal spaces to experience what works best. With many lessons learned, we are coming out of the Desert and into the Promised Land of Texas. We have acquired five acres of land one hour West of Austin. The area is known as the Texas Wine Trail, between the quaint and historically significant towns of Johnson City and Fredericksburg. The land has potable well-water and traditional electricity, but there are ample opportunities for alternative energy: wind-solar-geothermal-hydro.

Sovereign Individuals who are attracted to the Essene Way are invited to live here. We plan to have many options available. We look forward to meeting you!

Testimonials

"I still can't believe that I ended up at this amazing place! This is a true WWOOF experience. A meaningful exchange of mutual benefit. Working side by side with Anand and Mason has been inspiring. They have wonderful spirits and have created their own space right in the middle of Las Vegas. An oasis. Their garden is beautiful and their food mind blowing! (I can still taste the ginger kale salad and that creamy berry smoothie!)
“They set an example for others and do this in a very positive way. I truly believe they make a difference in this city of excesses and lost spirits. Their motivation and energy is impressive. Thanks again! And for future WWOOFers, don't be intimidated by the house rules! They are what they are, and stand for the good intentions of these two individuals. Challenge yourself and embrace it. You will get a lot in return.”
Adriaan Bakker, WWOOF-US Guest

"I couldn't have found a better place to stay while I was in Vegas for a month. The hosts were super helpful and friendly! We went to health classes, meetings, and hiking while I was there. If you are health conscious, and sober, this is the perfect place for you to find serenity in a city full of chaos. I made new friends for life and will definitely go back in the future!"
Mary – Ashville NC Airbnb Guest

"I love this home so much. During my stay I observed Shabbat, met a Bikram yogi, got half a dozen great book recommendations, and a couple documentary recommendations too. I was introduced to some great green products and great places to purchase vegan foods."
