We are re-forming community on a stunning 1/2 acre established orchard/foodforest with 8-bedroom strawbale house, mixed energy systems and room for your projects and skill-sharing. The house is secluded with 20min free bus access to a small downtown. The land is owned by Living Energy Farm, an impressive established rural offgrid appropriate-technology community 40min away (
https://livingenergyfarm.org/). Ideal candidates are skilled, interested in supporting LEF's work, and want to live in a social/outreach eco/urban environment.
We enjoy being a group of strangers to mainstream american lifestyle, with many pluralistic experiences and ideas to bring together to build our own intentional culture and lifestyle. We enjoy being a group of women & afab nbs with high emotional intelligence, conscientiousness, cooperativeness, advanced intercultural communication skills, and good sense of self.
This is an early-stage project. Cofounding members contribute skills, energy, and modest finances. We're interested in both short-term skilled collaborators and long-term core members. There will be seasonality to who lives at this hub, as we have connections both north and south. Current residents are preparing the space for what comes next. Since it is a small community house (8 bedrooms) and we make decisions by consensus, we are curating for excellent social fit. We envision demonstrative ecological lifestyle culture-building through education, wellness, spirituality, and arts outreach, and space for passion projects. Do you want to co-create in this sandbox? Talk to us on phone/video and come visit for a week (& tour nearby projects).
A guiding principle is to live relationally with the complexity of beings and systems around us. We also consider ourselves to be re-indigenizing: being in relation with our ecosystem for long time-scales. We are elders-in-training.
If you don't fit what we're looking for, realistically I'll be too busy pulling out invasive vines to write back. Apologies in advance for not being much tech-savvy or online.
