LAND · CULTURE · COMMUNITY

A living future,
together.

Restoring our connection with the earth.
Creating places where people and nature can flourish.

We’re exploring land and possibilities in the Adelaide Hills and on Australia’s East Coast. Join us to imagine regenerative sanctuaries and conscious eco-community living, together.

A SANCTUARY IS SOMETHING WE CREATE

Care for the land.
Make room for
each other.

We imagine communities where restoring nature and supporting one another are part of everyday life.

Forests that can regenerate. Wildlife with room to thrive. Food grown with care. Places to learn, gather, create, and belong.

Munay Ayni Sanctuary brings together this ecological vision with culture, education, wellbeing, and Living Earth wisdom. Our work is rooted in reciprocity: receiving with gratitude and giving back through practical care.

We’re open to different options and visions. Bring your ideas, skills, land connections, or simply your curiosity. Together, we can explore what is possible and shape practical projects around the land, the people, and a shared intention.

Habitat comes first.

Native woodland, healthy soil, wildlife corridors, and careful water stewardship form the foundation. A site-specific ecological plan would guide what belongs where.

THE PROJECTS

Many ways to begin.
One shared intention.

Some projects are developing now. Others are invitations to build together. Each one has a clear next step.

Illustrative landscape for the sanctuary visionConcept imagery

01 / DEVELOPING VISION

Adelaide sanctuary
& intentional community

Exploring land and different possibilities in the Adelaide Hills for a sanctuary and eco-community, bringing together organic food growing, regeneration, culture, education, and conscious living.

Next: explore suitable land, listen to different visions, and develop a feasible stewardship and community model together. No property is secured.

02 / EXPLORING POSSIBILITIES

An East Coast sanctuary

We’re also looking for land on Australia’s East Coast to create an eco-community and sanctuary. If you would love to be part of it, come and explore the opportunities with us.

Next: connect with landowners, local communities and people with planning, ecology, design, and community experience. A property has not been secured.

03 / CROWDFUNDING PROJECT

A Home for
Uncle Wiruungga.

Supporting an elder’s home, mobility, art, and cultural connection.

The campaign vision is a suitable bus as a home and travelling gallery, supporting Uncle Wiruungga’s ability to share cultural workshops and attend gatherings.

We welcome practical offers, fundraising support, and connections. The existing campaign page holds its current appeal and terms.

FROM VISION TO PRACTICE

Small beginnings.
Lasting roots.

We don’t need to wait for a permanent sanctuary to begin building connection and caring for the earth.

Our proposed “Sanctuary Without Walls” approach starts through suitable partner venues, consenting landholders, and manageable community projects.

AI-generated sanctuary vision. Program dates, host venues, and partnerships are still being developed.

something we do.

These are proposed pathways, ready for collaborators to help develop the scope, resources, and delivery.

YOUR PLACE IN THE VISION

You don’t need to bring everything.
Bring what you can.

Support conversations are an invitation to explore fit. Project budgets and contribution arrangements will be explained before commitments are made.

BECOME PART OF THE MOVEMENT

Many ways to belong.
A vision we shape together.

We’re exploring different membership and participation options for people who care about land, community, and a living future.

Tell us what feels right for you. These are conversations to help shape the project; membership terms, contributions, and activities are still being developed.

We’re shaping these pathways together. We’ll discuss each pathway’s purpose, costs, and arrangements before any commitment. Community living is an expression of interest, subject to suitable land, feasibility, permissions, and agreed terms. Supporter gifts do not provide residential or property rights.

BUILT ON TRUST

A big vision.
Clear foundations.

An independent charity

Munay Ayni Sanctuary Ltd is an Australian registered charity. Munay Temple and Conscious Flow are separate organisations and may collaborate through defined arrangements.

Honest project stages

We distinguish aspirations, plans, and delivered work. Neither the Adelaide nor East Coast land project is presented as an established residential community.

Careful use of support

Our approach is to agree what a contribution supports, keep project records, and share meaningful updates as work progresses. Donations to Munay Ayni Sanctuary Ltd are currently not tax-deductible.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT WONDER

Can I explore eco-villa or community living?

Yes. We welcome expressions of interest in future eco-villa and eco-community living in the Adelaide Hills or on the East Coast. Bring your ideas and explore the possibilities with us. Locations, residential spaces, permissions, and participation arrangements are still being explored; no living space is being sold or reserved through this page.

Do I need to donate to get involved?

No. Time, skills, introductions, land leads, and participation can all help. Contact us to explore a role that fits your capacity and the project’s needs.

Can I support a specific project?

Yes, you can begin a conversation about a specific project or offer in-kind help. For Uncle Wiruungga, use the linked campaign to review its current appeal. Other project contribution arrangements are still being developed.

What memberships and support options can I explore?

We’re exploring community connection, hands-on participation, cultural and event involvement, future community living, and a voluntary Supporter Circle. You can also discuss one-off or monthly donations, sponsorship, grants, funds, and in-kind support. Tell us what interests you; terms and any contributions will be explained before you commit. These proposed pathways do not enrol you as a formal charity member or grant residency or property rights.

What happened to the Byrrill Creek project?

The earlier Byrrill Creek / Evolve acquisition did not proceed. It is part of our learning history and is not a currently owned or operating Munay Ayni sanctuary.

How does the introduction form use my information?

Nothing is saved by the form. It prepares an email locally on your device. If you send that email, the information is shared with the charity team to respond to your enquiry. The optional checkbox tells us whether you want relevant updates. You can contact the published email to request correction, removal, or to stop updates.

FOR THE LAND. FOR EACH OTHER. FOR WHAT COMES NEXT.

Let’s grow something
worth belonging to.
