Openings in our Intentional Community (Housing for $300 - $800) at Lost Valley Educational Center

WHO WE ARE
Lost Valley Educational Center: https://www.lostvalley.org/.

We are a permaculture-centered non-profit and intentional community close to Eugene, Oregon.

There are approximately 40 to 60 of us living in a rural, dispersed village on 88 acres of forest, creek, and our homes and shared community spaces.

Residents put in approximately 20 Hours / Week towards Community Participation and Governance, some of which is Paid Work (as staff) and some of which offers Rent Reduction Work Credits (land-based work and maintenance)

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Do you now or have you wanted to live in an Intentional Community or Eco-Village?

We are looking for a few residents, staff, and interns who can be really successful living here, happily working and participating in our Intentional Community..

Our housing options include single and double-occupancy dormitory rooms with shared kitchen and bathrooms, cabins with a variety of amenities and shared kitchens, a few ‘condo-like’ units we call the Solplex, and flexibility on you bringing your own RV, Trailer, Tiny Home, or other Dwelling Space to live in on an off-grid or on-grid site.

A NOTE ON COMMUNITY
You will be living and working in a rural intentional community, run cooperatively, focused on permaculture, non-violent communication, and self-governance.  While we are not an ‘egalitarian’ community, which typically provides you with all of your basic needs, we quite often provide access to produce from gardens, firewood from our acreage, a shared meal plan, and basic health and safety needs.  We also have a wood-fired sauna, wood-fired hot tub, and educational events that often include workshops, students, teachers, wellness practice, and dance.

I want to have simple living in community with growing all that can be grown for what is needed, food that can be produced really sustainably that way. I would gladly do this with others.

We are a couple in our 50s and have a Chihuahua.  We will be moving to the area soon and would like to visit.  It has been a dream of mine to live and work on a commune.  We have gardener and raised chickens in the past.  My husband is a good artist and has always been good at figuring things out...from fixing cars to building things.  He is on SSDI and I can find work after arriving.
