The VOL Gang

Reflections from the Valley of Light Micro-Community

VOL Gang at the Turtle Labrynth

On this page, Valley of Light members and visitors who are interested in joining our community share their thoughts on community building, current events, sacred activism, peacebuilding, and spirituality.

VOL is an incubator community for Cultural Creatives who share our Community Principles. Our blog posts reflect this shared ethos and our intellectual, moral, and socio-political stances on the issues of the day. We invite you to join us in these critical discussions by posting your comments!

VOL members meet on Sundays to work around the campus and share a community meal. We welcome visitors on Sundays who would like to help with a campus project and enjoy a potluck meal with us.

For more information about posting at this blog or visiting on VOL Sunday, please contact:
