Michael Gornik has lived in, built, and managed intentional communities for over 40 years. In 2000, he and his wife Ann founded Polestar Gardens and established a 20-acre community, organic farm and meditation retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii. Following the Kilauea Volcano eruption in 2018, that decimated their community, Michael and Ann relocated to Fort Collins, CO, where they are developing Polestar Village: a 144 unit intentional neighborhood on 20 acres.
