Scouting the Awake Isles: Searching for Conscious Community Across Britain and Ireland?

By Daniel Joseph Leach Jr.

Something is stirring across these isles.

A quiet awakening.

A knowing in the bones.

It’s time for change.

“I’ve felt it for a while now. With my youngest child aboutt to step out of “the system,” I know the time has come. I’m setting off on scouting missions this summer—searching for places and people who are awake. Awake to truth. Awake to freedom. Awake to life lived differently.

Here’s what you’ll discover. If you’re on this path too, maybe we’ll cross trails.” Jamie Bartlett https://www.facebook.com/share/1XRawMXeRY/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Mid Wales: Quiet Power in the Hills

Mid Wales holds deep, old wisdom. Machynlleth is a beacon of alternative thinking, with the Centre for Alternative Technology symbolizing a different way forward. In nearby Llanidloes and Llandrindod Wells, you’ll find small pockets of off-gridders, land-workers, and homeschoolers quietly building the new.

The Beautiful North: Seeds of Change

Up in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, the counterculture thrives openly—artists, healers, free thinkers gather here. Further down, Totnes (Devon) might be a bit gentrified now, but its roots in the Transition Towns movement still pulse beneath the surface.

Scotland: Wild Land, Free Spirits

Scotland offers both space and spirit. At Findhorn Ecovillage, intentional community is a living, breathing reality. In Argyll and Bute, Lochaber, and the Isle of Mull, seekers are returning to the land and building sovereign lives.

Northern Ireland: Embers Glowing

In places like Fermanagh and Down, new communities are quietly forming. Telegram groups are buzzing. Meetups are sprouting. It’s not loud—but something’s building. The spirit here is raw and ready.

Ireland (Republic): West Cork and the Northwest

West Cork is awake. From Skibbereen to Clonakilty, people are growing food, raising kids outside the system, and living intentionally. Up north in Sligo, Leitrim, and Galway, land projects and freedom-focused collectives are on the rise.

Isle of Man: Sovereign, Subtle, Strong

This island may fly under the radar, but it draws those seeking privacy and sovereignty. The communities are quieter, less organized—but the energy is there. A place worth watching… or visiting.

Finding the Awake

This isn’t something you’ll find in a brochure. But if you’re looking, here are a few ways to connect:

People’s Health Alliance UK – A grassroots movement linking awake health and community hubs. Telegram – Look up your area plus “awake,” “off-grid,” or “freedom.” Freedom Cells – Local groups focused on mutual aid and sovereignty. Awake Communities Alliance, Earth Cures, and others are lighting the path.

The Road Ahead

This summer, I’ll be hitting the road—scouting, connecting, sharing. Not just for myself, but for all of us who feel the pull.

If you know of an awake pub, a conscious community centre, a regenerative farm, a homeschooling village, or just a place with heart—reach out. Let’s build the map. Let’s build the new way.

This isn’t the end of a story. It’s the beginning of a return.

In terms of places across the British Isles that resonate with awake, conscious, community-driven energy, here are some leads and thoughts you might want to scout out this summer:

1. Mid Wales

Machynlleth has long had a reputation as a hub for alternative lifestyles, eco-consciousness, and off-grid communities. The Centre for Alternative Technology is nearby, and the area has an open-minded, earthy vibe. Around Llanidloes and Llandrindod Wells, you’ll find small but strong networks of homeschoolers, land workers, and freedom-focused folk.

2. The North (England)

Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire has a strong countercultural streak, known for its creativity, alternative schooling, and community spirit. There’s been a revival in intentional living and regenerative projects. Totnes in Devon is farther south, but worth mentioning—it was a birthplace of the Transition Towns movement.

3. Scotland

The Highlands and Islands are dotted with self-sufficient, close-knit communities. Think Findhorn Ecovillage—a spiritual, ecological intentional community in Moray. Areas around Argyll and Bute, and Lochaber, have growing networks of people moving off-grid and exploring new systems of living.

4. Northern Ireland

It’s a bit quieter on the awake front, but there are intentional communities and holistic farms starting to pop up in places like Fermanagh and Down. Freedom-focused meetups have started taking root post-2020.

5. Ireland (Republic)

West Cork is a big hub for freedom-minded folks—artists, permaculturists, off-gridders. Areas like Skibbereen, Clonakilty, and Bantry are rich with conscious community energy. Sligo, Leitrim, and Galway have growing circles of homesteaders and those withdrawing from mainstream systems.

6. Isle of Man

It’s under the radar but has attracted people looking for privacy and alternative ways of living. There’s a quiet but solid expat and sovereign-living crowd—though more scattered than organized.

Ideas to Connect:

Look up “People’s Health Alliance UK” or “Awake Communities Alliance”—they’re building a grassroots network of awake hubs and services. Telegram has tons of local “awake” groups by region. Earth Cures, Open Communities, and FreeDom Cells often share scouting tips for finding likeminds.

If you’re doing scouting missions, you might consider documenting them—maybe as a blog, video diary, or podcast. It could inspire others on the same journey and help you build a broader network.

Alright Daniel—here it is!

Something is stirring across these isles.

A quiet awakening.

A knowing in the bones.

It’s time for change.

I’ve felt it for a while now. With my youngest child soon stepping out of “the system,” I know the time has come. This summer, I’m setting off on a series of scouting missions—searching for places and people who are awake. Awake to truth. Awake to freedom. Awake to life lived differently.

Here’s what I’ve discovered so far. If you’re on this path too, maybe we’ll cross trails.

Mid Wales: Quiet Power in the Hills

[Insert image: a community circle in a green valley]

Machynlleth holds deep alternative roots, with the Centre for Alternative Technology not just teaching sustainability, but living it. Nearby, in places like Llanidloes and Llandrindod Wells, you’ll find off-gridders, land-workers, and families raising children in freedom.

The Beautiful North: Seeds of Change

[Insert image: small outdoor gathering, possibly around a campfire or community meal]

Hebden Bridge, in West Yorkshire, has long attracted artists, herbalists, and free thinkers. You feel the energy in the cafés and co-ops. Totnes in Devon is also known for pioneering transition movements and alternative economies.

Scotland: Wild Land, Free Spirits

[Insert image: intentional community in a rugged highland setting]

From the spiritual intentionality of Findhorn Ecovillage to regenerative crofts in Lochaber and Argyll, Scotland is home to sovereign souls who live in rhythm with the land and truth.

Northern Ireland: Embers Glowing

[Insert image: small market or local meetup group]

In Fermanagh, Down, and beyond, Telegram groups are sparking into real-life connections. The awake community here is quieter—but growing steadily. Freedom-minded meetups and local health hubs are forming.

Ireland (Republic): West Cork & the Northwest

[Insert image: farm-to-table gathering or small music night]

West Cork—Skibbereen, Clonakilty, Bantry—is a magnet for permaculturists, holistic practitioners, and families seeking sovereignty. The northwest—Leitrim, Sligo, Galway—also holds promise, with land projects and cooperative networks on the rise.

Isle of Man: Subtle and Sovereign

[Insert image: quiet rural scene, maybe with sheep or a stone cottage]

The Isle of Man may not be widely known for alternative living, but it’s attracted seekers looking for a quieter, more sovereign life. While less organized, the energy is palpable.

Understanding addiction

Did you know that addiction is classified in the DSM-5? It’s a mental illness that lives in the brain stem: the same brain stem that serves a critical role in regulating certain involuntary actions of the body, including heartbeat and breathing. Addicts feel that they need their drug of choice (DOC) the same way they feel they need to breathe.

Did you know that our society treats addiction as a moral issue and pawns it off on law enforcement to “control”? The average stay in jail being 365 days or less. Where addicts are left to detox alone ?

Did you know the detox process can be violent and result in death if not monitored by medical professionals?

Did you know the addict is many times released, and at that time, their serotonin levels are at their lowest, leading to a high crime rate and a higher chance in relapse. It’s a pun to say that this is criminal but that’s exactly what this really is ….criminal.

It takes an average of 14-16 months of sobriety for an addict’s brain to balance serotonin levels to that of a neuro-typical brain. Did you know that?

Did you know that most insurances will only pay for 30 days of treatment for an addict? Please get mad about that. I’m begging you …get mad about that.

Did you know that 136 people die everyday from opioid overdose? That’s one person every 10.58 minutes. By the time you’re done reading and processing this post, someone will have died from an opioid overdose.
Someone’s child.
Someone’s spouse.
Someone’s parent.
Someone’s brother/sister.
Someone’s friend.
Someone’s aunt/uncle.

Let that sink in.

Did you know that the two biggest factors that “make” an addict are
(1) Genetic Predisposition and (2) Childhood trauma. There’s not that “one hit” or that “one decision” that will make an addict. You never really know who is or is not an addict before they ever even pick up. It’s NOT a moral problem. I repeat, addiction is NOT A MORAL PROBLEM.

Just for a minute let’s take this in a little bit of a different direction. Did you know that the BRCA gene for breast cancer has a 5-10% genetic predisposition rate? People every day undergo testing and life changing surgeries to avoid it but addiction genetic predisposition is over 50%.
O V E R 5 0 %. Let that sink in.
You still think addiction is a moral problem? A parenting problem?
Too bad there isn’t a surgery to remove addiction huh ?

If there’s one thing an addict would say….it’s that they’re still in there. (I know because I’ve asked.) The person that you knew and loved is still in there.

They are not their disease.

THEY ARE NOT THEIR DISEASE.

Addiction is a disease. Much like diabetes. It has to be monitored everyday. For the rest of their lives. And it’s HARD. It takes support and unrelenting diligence. Like cancer in that it can always reoccur.

The blaming needs to stop. We need to do better.
The paradigm needs to change.
Insurance benefits needs to change.
Public awareness needs to change.

Period.

The next time you hear someone say “ they have a choice “ or you hear others refer to addicts as “ a junkie“ start by educating them because that really is how this works.

You can make a difference you can change things. It starts with educating yourself and then spreading that knowledge one person at a time. Please I beg you join me in this.

Copied and pasted. Please do the same…
Be a part of the change! 💜💜

Update on Anti Illuminati Party 2017

https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FAntiilluminatiparty%2Fvideos%2F658633431006951%2F&show_text=1&width=560

Neo Age of Enlightenment it’s Targeted Enlightenment of Individuals.

Age of Targeted Enlightenment!

Psychological and Spiritual Warfare is on-going, in and outside the home ( Targeted Enlightenment is not about about Gang-Stalking, Cause Stalking, And Targeted Individuals). TE or Targeted Enlightenment is about an individual who has been placed onto a list of people who are willfully ignorant about the New World Order its agenda and system.  These individuals who are brainwashed by mainstream government propaganda are under psychological and often mental warfare tactics which is orchestrated by the U.S. military, C.I.A. and federal law enforcement within the USA, but this is a global criminal syndicate that is run by the Zionist NWO Illuminati  Khazarian Mafia.

The curtain is now being pulled back to fully expose the Khazarian Mafia and its evil plan to infiltrate, tyrannize the whole world and eradicate all Abrahamic Religions and allow only their Babylonian Talmudism also known as Luciferianism, Satanism or ancient Baal worship.  “The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.” Morpheus from The Matrix (1999)

Targeted Enlightenment is a form of raising awareness through educating and prayers for the public with websites, books,videos,blogs and prayer groups. Targeted Enlightenment is when a person who has been singled out by a Patriot Network called “Truthers.” The targeted Enlightenment is being under 24 hour prayer and info bombardment by large groups of various Patriot Networks . New technologies have brought about the possibility of this achievement to bring together Truthers to focus on one person or group at a time in hopes of the power of prayer’s and truthful information!

“I’m inventing a new tool for activists in the truth movement a term called targeted enlightenment. A term to describe a individual who has been targeted for enlightenment by a social network of Truthers. If you have somebody that you would like to be involved with enlightenment use the hashtag #TargetedEnlightenment and also tag the persons Facebook profile and the network of Truthers that see and use the hashtag will info bomb the individual with truth and knowledge. This is a flash mob for truth.” Daniel J Leach Jr 

If you want to join the resistance out team of info warriors and fight the darkness of the NWO Khazarian Mafia and its evil plan to infiltrate, tyrannize the whole world then add people to our list of people or groups that are Targeted for Enlightenment.  Use the hashtag #TargetedEnlightenment and tag the groups or people that you wish to be Liberated through Prayers and info bombardment! Don’t forget to join our Facebook group and introduce yourself to the team!

EvoLution of the Illuminati All seeing eye symbol Love,Truth RevoLution

Anti Illuminati Party Take over Illuminati Symbol

Recently I saw this photo posted on facebook by a fellow Truther and the first thing I thought was that’s just an another one of those Jay-Z and Beyonce  fans doing the sign of the illuminati without any knowledge about what it means just because their idol does it.  So I decided to make a smart ass comment!   Daniel J Leach No more illuminati hand signs please! Just be your self and get out of the death cult!  You can do better than being used by The Queen Is A Reptilian and the Demonic forces that control Hollywood.

But what I discovered is a game changer.  It turn out that   Hassina Aube was not trying to imitate the celebrities but wanted show that she see’s taken the Red pill and has come out of the Matrix of the illuminati and see’s through the deception of the New World Order.

So we have decided to take up a cause for the Truth movement and thats to the creation of new symbolism  to make a signs of our own visual artworks that will be a means to remind those who are awake and part of the Anti Illuminati Party truth movement of not only the different oaths or covenants they made during their awakening or rebirth but to the commitment they have made to humanity!  This cause is to make signs of  Truth, Love and the RevoLution!   The First sign is made with the symbol of a heart with your hands and the eyes looking through the heart as a sign that we look with eyes of Love for humanity!

Many religions have used the image of an eye in their religious symbolism. One of the earliest known examples (from Egyptian mythology) is the Eye of Horus. However, the association of an eye with the concept of Divine Providence did not emerge until the Christian era.

In Medieval and Renaissance European iconography, the Eye (often with the addition of an enclosing triangle) was an explicit image of the Christian Trinity. Seventeenth-century depictions of the Eye of Providence sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts.[4]

Christian artworks were a visual means to remind the saints of not only the different stories in the Bible but the oath or covenants they made during their sacred rites. The reoccurring handclasps as well as arm gestures were scattered throughout historical Christian art. Many of the handclasps in historical Christian art show Christ or angels pulling others up and lifting them to higher realms. We also learn about handclasps from the Church Fathers as well as from extra-biblical ancient texts, many of them found in the last hundred years. (The Ante-Nicene Fathers, vol. 1, pp.144-45, The Epistle of Barnabas, chapters 11, & 12; The Ante-Nicene Fathers, 3: pp.157-8;Isaiah 5:1-3Isaiah 42:6-7, mentions a “rites passage” hand grip that is part of a covenant).

A Symbol that your anti illuminati love Truth and God with all your heart and mind!
The hands, heart and mind is a symbol of Truth, to Love God with all your heart and mind; in doing so that person would clasp the hands in the shape of the heart. Looking through the heart shows that you see through the heart, that you are aware of the Truth but that you don’t follow the illuminati but look with both eyes at them. In other artworks and biblical illustrations, Christ’s, saints’, or prophets’ ascension into heaven, depict the hand of God extended down through a cloud, veil or curtain to clasp those ascending who love the Truth and God with all their hearts and minds!

The hands, heart and mind is a symbol of Truth, to Love God with all your heart and mind; in doing so that person would clasp the hands in the shape of the heart.  Looking through the heart shows that you see through the heart, that you are aware of the Truth  but that you don’t follow the illuminati but look with both eyes at them.  In other artworks and biblical illustrations, Christ’s, saints’, or prophets’ ascension into heaven, depict the hand of God extended down through a cloud, veil or curtain to clasp those ascending who love the Truth and God with all their hearts and minds!The symbolism of the Ascension cannot just be thought of in terms of just the afterlife and at the time of the resurrection but also has to do with each person’s “spiritual progression.” We can see how the Lord is there guiding, teaching and giving strength “with his strong arm” as he draws the saint up to him in a diagonal handclasp.

Daniel J Leach A new sign Love Truth sign! Lets make this sign of the Truth RevoLution! Say make a sign of a heart with our hand and look through it with two eyes the same way you did as a symbol of a heart! Sign of Love for humanity

Hassina Aube I never did it before and I didn’t do it after that XD. I honestly cant stand the sign either but I did this picture for different reasons. I wanna show that I see through the pyramid, that I am aware of them but that I don’t follow them but look with both eyes at them.

Hassina Aube Many people are aware, but I don’t know if they’ve done pictures like that. I dont think it really matters. When I uploaded the picture for the first time several people got butthurt and I just dont know whats the big deal lol. I cant stand those Jay-Z and Beyonce (you name it)-Fans doing this sign. The difference is that they do it without any knowledge and just because their idol does it.

Freemasonry[edit]

An early Masonic version of the Eye of Providence with clouds and a semi-circular glory

Today, the Eye of Providence is usually associated with Freemasonry. The Eye first appeared as part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in 1797, with the publication of Thomas Smith Webb‘s Freemasons Monitor.[6] Here, it represents the all-seeing eye of God and is a reminder that a Mason’s thoughts and deeds are always observed by God (who is referred to in Masonry as the Great Architect of the Universe). Typically, the Masonic Eye of Providence has a semi-circular glory below the eye. Sometimes the Eye is enclosed by a triangle.

Popular among conspiracy theorists is the claim that the Eye of Providence shown atop an unfinished pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States indicates the influence of Freemasonry in the founding of the United States. This was dramatized in the 2004 Disney film National Treasure. However, common Masonic use of the Eye dates to 14 years after the creation of the Great Seal. Furthermore, among the members of the various design committees for the Great Seal, only Benjamin Franklin was a Mason (and his ideas for the seal were not adopted). Indeed, many Masonic organizations have explicitly denied any connection to the creation of the Seal.[7][8]

Illuminati

The Order of the Illuminati was an Enlightenment-age secret society founded by university professor Adam Weishaupt on 1 May 1776, in Upper Bavaria, Germany. The movement consisted of advocates of freethoughtsecularismliberalismrepublicanism and gender equality, recruited in the German Masonic Lodges, who sought to teach rationalism through mystery schools. In 1785, the order was infiltrated, broken up and suppressed by the government agents of Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria, in his preemptive campaign to neutralize the threat of secret societies ever becoming hotbeds of conspiracies to overthrow the Bavarian monarchy and its state religionRoman Catholicism.[38]

In the late 18th century, reactionary conspiracy theorists, such as Scottish physicist John Robison and French Jesuit priest Augustin Barruel, began speculating that the Illuminati survived their suppression and became the masterminds behind the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. The Illuminati were accused of being subversives who were attempting to secretly orchestrate a revolutionary wavein Europe and the rest of the world in order to spread the most radical ideas and movements of the Enlightenment—anti-clericalism,anti-monarchism, and anti-patriarchalism—and create a world noocracy and cult of reason. During the 19th century, fear of an Illuminati conspiracy was a real concern of European ruling classes, and their oppressive reactions to this unfounded fear provoked in 1848 the very revolutions they sought to prevent.[39]

During the interwar period of the 20th century, fascist propagandists, such as British revisionist historian Nesta Helen Webster and American socialite Edith Starr Miller, not only popularized the myth of an Illuminati conspiracy but claimed that it was a subversive secret society which serves the Jewish elites that supposedly propped up both finance capitalism and Soviet communism in order todivide and rule the world. American evangelist Gerald Burton Winrod and other conspiracy theorists within the fundamentalist Christianmovement in the United States — which emerged in the 1910s as a backlash against the principles of Enlightenment secular humanismmodernism, and liberalism — became the main channel of dissemination of Illuminati conspiracy theories in the U.S. Right-wing populists, such as members of the John Birch Society, subsequently began speculating that some collegiate fraternities (Skull and Bones), gentlemen’s clubs (Bohemian Club) and think tanks (Council on Foreign RelationsTrilateral Commission) of the American upper class are front organizations of the Illuminati, which they accuse of plotting to create a New World Order through a one-world government.[6]

The Singer/Songwriter of “Dear Mama” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mb1ZvUDvLDY), while in the critical care unit, on the afternoon of Friday, September 13, 1996, died of internal bleeding; doctors attempted to revive him but could not stop the hemorrhaging. His mother, Afeni, made the decision to tell the doctors to stop. He was pronounced dead at 4:03 pm (PDT). The official cause of death was noted as respiratory failure and cardiopulmonary arrest in connection with multiple gunshot wounds. Shakur’s body was cremated the next day and some of his ashes were later mixed with marijuana and smoked by members of the Outlawz. His fifth album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory was released two months later.
