KM Sanctuary Gardens
In the time of fast food and ready-to-eat snacks, the skill of gardening has mostly been lost. In accordance with our obligations, expectation, and community needs, by Divine purpose and subject jurisdiction so entrusted us as direct representation of Great Creator,
Kautantowit's Mecautea (KM) remains focused on providing as much and many vast forms of community service acts and offerings as we are able to for the benefit of our local and extended communities. Churches and nonprofits have helped communities hard hit by loss of local food stores to take initiative and supply their own fresh foods by growing them independently. A perfect example of our efforts of sincere importance to this project endeavor is seen i our child church known as Gardenpath, whom since 2009 have been serving Brevard County Florida and surrounding communities with nutrient dense foods, herbs and natural medicines while operating our mindfully aware Horticulture Therapy Program, Permaculture Design Education, Ancient Earthworks Herbalism and Ancestral crafts Classes.

KM sanctuary gardens are beautiful and serene outdoor spaces associated with nature and creation and here to bring our brothers and sisters together in sacred circles where we can heal and empower ourselves physically, spiritually, and emotionally through Creator’s bounty, and to deepen our connection to Mother Earth, These gardens often serve as places for reflection, meditation, and connection with nature. Supporting vegetation provides a suitable habitat for many animal species, and thus has a positive impact on the conservation of biodiversity in the environment.
The common motivation for our faith-based community gardens are the opportunity to help those in need, especially during these turbulent times. The garden is a place of healing, of wholeness and of deeply spiritual encounters. KM founding members know that it is more often than not many go hungry due to unaffordable prices and accessibility. of quality healthy food.
​
KM gardens also offer the perfect hands-on teaching space for training members in gardening techniques. As our common oppressors repeat the common constrictive evils of times past and tighten as well as attempt to corrupt as well as destroy our desperately needed food and natural medicine supplies,
​
KM are motivated by the desire to heal our earth or want to provide a beautiful green space for our congregations and neighbors to enjoy creation. A community garden is not just a place to grow food. incorporating sacred spaces within the garden is an essential part of this initial discussion. Our community gardens are where the land and farming supplies are provided by a nonprofit and community members tend a small plot of the garden with voluntary labor.
Depending on the size of the garden, places for people to sit and meditate, prayer walks, community gathering spaces, etc. are all possible ways to strengthen peoples’ faith beyond the activities associated with food production.
Federal law explicitly protects churches and other religious institutions and individuals from unduly burdensome or discriminatory land use and zoning regulations. After learning that local land use and zoning regulations often placed burdens on religious congregations’ ability to practice their faith in violation of the U.S. Constitution, Congress enacted the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000cc.
RLUIPA stands for “The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.” Among other things, this federal law protects religious institutions from unduly burdensome or discriminatory land use regulations. Congress passed RLUIPA in 2000 after hearing testimony that land use and zoning regulations often burden religious institutions seeking to exercise their faiths as protected by the U.S. Constitution.
The DOJ filed a friend-of-the-court brief in a federal district court in southern California explaining that feeding persons in need may be religious exercise under RLUIPA
