Why are we needed?
|
-
Each year, the loss of joy and love in the world is experienced by many wonderful people who are marginalized by emotional trauma and withdraw
their input from our lives. We all suffer as a result of their ongoing loss.
-
The joy and love that withers in the face of isolation and separation can be easily restored.
-
Our planet is hurting and increasing the awareness of how to love the earth and live with it and not just on it will relieve the pain our home
is enduring and help us love one another and our home, bringing harmony and resonance to our planet and its people.

What about Community Outreach?
|
In addition to the ongoing programs at the center, we strive to go out into the community and make a difference. Currently we are
collecting the resources needed to launch a little library series in rural areas, as well as collect second-hand technology for lower
income students to further their studies. You can be sure to find us at Rockwood's monthly meeting's and town events. We are collaborating
with a few local custom shops to mutually benefit the community. In need of some produce? Call us and we will see if we can drop off a
care package from our harvest in the garden!

Our Ancestors
|
Our ancestors lived and died on this land and we have dedicated ourselve to the preservstion and
restoration of it in honor of their time and energy. Miners, Railroaders and sawyers all poured out
their souls to live on this land and when they left after World War l the first resort in Cumberland
County was built here with the blood swea and tears of another community.
|
Cabins
|
There were upwards of 50 cabins on the property at one time and in those years between the mining &
timber operations, and the closing of the resort in 1955, Lake Waldensia was a common recreation
destination.
|
Restoring the land
|
We are working almost nonstop now to restore land and the grounds to a recreation destination as it
once was in the 1940's and fifties and are also working to have Lake Waldensia added to the National
Registry of Historic Places.Membership in the Friends of Lake Waldensia is included with your initial
donation of just $11 for day use. Hiking and Mountain biking adventures are found on over 900,000
acres of public land wilderness adjacent to our 372 acres where your base camp is.

We offer...
|
We offer members primitive camping and fully self contained RV's and Travel Trailers (for the time
being) while developing our center by so given in order to and their. In essence we will find the
proverbial, "missing chord", and join the universal choir in harmony as universal citizens. Our
foundation is dedicated to finding resonance and harmony in all things. We theorize that prior to self
awareness, there was nothing. Nothingness gave birth to the original spark, or vibration, reaction, or
action of an omniscient and supreme entity, all things originated here. All things in our physical
universe are interrelated and interdependent in their effects on all other things. This common origin
was, and is, the unifying force that connects us with all other aspects of our reality. Our interactions
with and responses to input from the universe determines our path thru life. Resonance with, or living
our lives in harmony with the universe results in a more perfect life, manifesting love for, and the
sharing with, others.
|
Goals attained
|
This goal, once attained will have changed the world, one mind at a time. We are dedicated to this
goal, as "The Grateful Life Family Foundation" at our center, "Transfarmnation Station" and strive to
be a catalyst for many of the changes our planet needs to re-establish harmony between our planet with
the universe. We further theorize that creative energies can sustain, maintain and restore harmonic
resonance and the good vibrations we create will fill the earth with good vibrations and bring the an
Aquarian age to the collective consciousness and restore the original perfection and unity in all.

Our Programs
|
Our programs are all designed with the intent of finding a better way of doing almost everything. The
core philosophy is a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship with our our planet and all it's
inhabitants. Although we do hold the value of all life most high, we also respect the choices of
individual lifestyles and neither forbid or exclude individuals based on choices in diet, or
requirements of meeting those needs. Hunting and trapping are ongoing activities on 10's of thousands
of wilderness acres surrounding our center. This is a supplementary food source to many, and we do not
condemn hunting for food, however firearms of any kind will not be allowed on Transfarmnation Station.
We welcome all honest hearted seekers of harmony and resonance to explore our center as a visitor,
guest volunteer or as a resident steward and staff member. Follow the link below for details on our
programs and requirements for participation.
Our center is open to the public by appointment only, so please communicate your desire to visit and
confirm available dates with our
