The Vision
Our goal is to build a network of lands where those who want to focus on their indigenous roots, regenerative sustainability, and self-sufficiency can gradually redirect their lives to fit what they truly need and want for themselves.
Our Path & Journey
Our journey began when we, the founders, departed the US to join expatriates on the land granted by Haile Selassie in Shashemanee as a gesture of gratitude for support during WWII. There we realized we still had work to do over on this side.
Part of that work was to create a serene environment dedicated to regenerative living, and the promotion of meditative, holistic health practices, within a village-like atmosphere, complimented by nature-based technology.
In 2022, we took a significant step towards this vision by purchasing plots of land in a developing community in Bull Bay, Jamaica - See below! Then, in the midst of 2024 we secured a location to host retreats and invite individuals to help maintain a potential food forest sanctuary.
Now, we are excited to invite you into this collaborative space for work, play, and reflection!
The Invitation
We are inviting people with tropical land, people who are interested in living and farming on tropical lands, and people who want to responsibly invest in sustainable regenerative communities that put indigeneity, and spirituality at the center, to be a part of what we are organizing here.
Our intention is to protect as many lands as we can from further colonization to whatever degree we can, by creating spaces to do community healing, focus on our indigenous roots, ancestral practices, and means of maintaining order.
Tropical Rain For Us's founding sites are nestled in and around our ancestral, the ancient, Blue Mountains of Jamaica, where the Windward Maroons, led by the legendary Nanny of the Maroons, heroically defended their territory against the British for over a century. This historical backdrop enriches our connection to the land and inspires the spirit of resilience that guides our community.
Tropical Rain For Us
This space where we are most active, is just an example of the raw beauty of nature. We are ultimately creating an international hive of love-light for those seeking rejuvenation and inspiration.
On this site in St. Thomas, Jamaica, we have a variety of healing and musical equipment to support wellness and creative expression. This includes crystal singing bowls, instruments for music therapy, and tools for holistic practices such as Reiki. Additionally, our location boasts access to a further 26 acres in the mountains of St. Thomas. This extended land is rich with resources, including jelly coconut trees, pimento, mango, and lumber to be used responsibly, adding layers of opportunity for sustainable living and enterprise.
Get Involved
