Life at Pangaia is usually individualized and self-directed, without the bonds of formal structure. It provides the perfect space to expand and invent your own projects - the land offers inspiration for limitless creative conduits and through these individual personal skills and interests may become useful.

Everyone pretty much takes care of their own food requirements, though we do also share regular communal meals. Because we all have and honor different needs and timings, we don't usually prepare meals altogether; however, we typically meal as a group one night a week, in honor of special occasions like birthdays, greeting new members, and saying good-bye.

A Typical Day:
Shortly after sunrise, Pangaians start waking up and gradually begin their days. After breakfast, people will begin projects around the land. Often, these projects are of an individual nature, but sometimes small groups naturally congregate to fulfill shared goals. Throughout the week the community organizes ‘land dances’ (work teams) with everyone working together.

After a nourishing mid-day meal, SIESTA! We take time to rest, play music, go swimming, read a good book from our library … usually, there will be another work gathering later in the afternoon depending on the needs for that particular day.

Evenings vary greatly from day to day. Sometimes we will gather for music and dance, or sit around our circle table in the community kitchen, blah-blah-ing. We also try to gather once a week in a community meeting, to connect and discuss projects and events for the week.
