Starland
Community is located in a rural neighborhood, on a desert bluff, surrounded
by mountains and canyons. We welcome adults (18 and older) from all walks of
life. We are LGBTQIA inclusive
honoring all visitors. Most of the property could be
clothing-optional. We
offer a rustic and simple, yet loved place to relax, and enjoy the splendors
of the Mojave Desert.
Our facilities are available for group and individual retreats workshops or other events.
Climate
Starland Community is located in California's Mojave Desert,
and is 3500 ft. above sea level. We have
four distinct seasons at Starland
Community. Average temperatures (F): January: High-50; Low-30;
April: High-80; Low-50; July:
High-95+; Low-70; October: High-80; Low-50.
Winters are often quite windy and
cold, sometimes a trace of snow falls; Spring and Fall are the best
times to visit, with balmy
warm temperatures, few rain storms, and calm air. Summers can be hot,
windy, and dry. Generally, be
prepared for unusual conditions, since the weather is known to change
quickly, and in a short time.
Volunteers
Starland Community is a home for its residents, and a quiet
retreat for members and guests. As a
private not-for-profit organization, Starland Community's
residents and other volunteers serve as the
keepers of the land, and the
hosts to its members. Our funding comes from member dues, fees for
overnight accommodations,
resident rents, and friendly, generous donations.

Membership. This process is simple, and is done
upon arrival. The basic Bright
Star Membership is $10 per person, and is good through Dec. 31, 2018.
Couples and those bringing a
friend to Starland may consider the Shining Star Membership, at $60 per
person. A Shining Star
