We are a retired couple who are downsizing, still living within the community. We are selling our large, flexible, comfortably rustic house, perfect for a multigenerational household, a family with kids or for 2 separate households. It’s 3000 square feet on 3 levels. The house is on a slope, with 2 main entrances. At one time it housed a large blended family. The current setup is a 2250 square foot, 2 bath main house with a 700 square foot rental apartment, also called an auxiliary dwelling unit (ADU). There is a staircase between the main and lower floor, with a lockable door. If desired, the ADU kitchen can be removed. The main floor has a very large kitchen/dining area, large living room, two small bedrooms, a bathroom with 2 sinks and a shower, a laundry room and a large mudroom. The non-bearing wall between the 2 bedrooms can be removed to turn it back to a single primary bedroom. The top floor has two bedrooms, one of which is primary with a large bright sitting area, and a large open middle area between them (game room, TV room, kids sleeping area, etc.). There is a bathroom with a claw-foot tub, no shower. The lower floor is the ADU, a finished storage area and a stand-up “crawl space“ which is used as a second pantry and storage.Attached to the house there is also a 150 sq ft wood paneled office/hobby space with its own electric and propane lines. Features: – straw bale construction, which is energy-efficient, great sound insulation, and provides a warm, soft, feeling. -very large functional kitchen with a long granite countertop. The dining area fits 10 people. -natural construction, with solid maple floors in the middle and upper level, marmoleum floor in kitchen and oak floor in the lower level. The two small bedrooms have painted wood floors. The doors are all solid wood. -large, functional, low maintenance patio area. Room for a table for eight and an additional sitting area.

I’m seeking a craftsperson who would like to carry on my ecological simple shoemaking business. I’m a member of Sirius Community in Shutesbury MA and live nearby. In my studio there’s loads of beautiful leather, ecological soling, lasts to make shoes over, all sorts of findings (thread, snaps, buckles etc), machinery – and I’ll offer a several-month apprenticeship. I have recently developed a technique for making custom footwear that could provide a foundation for a successful business!  website: https://simpleshoemaking.eco/ For inquiries please email Sharon Raymond at si**************@***il.com

We are continuing our work-trade program at Bridge Hawaii for the right people on this beautiful 86-acre land located along the Hāmākua Coast. Ideally, we want to host those individuals who can help with the garden and who can support with build projects for up to a 3 month stay. This work-trade would include lodging, food staples, community kitchen, running hot water showers, off-grid electricity, and laundry. There is access to high speed wi-fi. We often have a car that can be reserved. We also have full bar signal strength with Verizon cellphone service. We have about 2 acres of permaculture garden that needs to be cared for including; weeding, planting, picking up mulch, some tree trimming, ect. We are currently in a building stage on the land. We have a few current grant projects we are working on and some build projects that are underway. We are an intentional community with about 8 permanent residents. There are rescue dairy cows, mini cows, mini donkeys, horses, a donkey, cats, dogs, and active bee hives. We are a drug and alcohol “free” space. A glass of wine or beer with dinner is fine, but absolutely no day drinking or parties. We have a meditation temple and many waterfall pools that are wonderful for swimming. Close to some of the nicest beaches on island. We have snorkeling gear and a kayak. Since this is an animal sanctuary, we limit the consumption of meat on the land. Fish, eggs, honey, and dairy are fine. Let me know if you’re interested by sending an email or text for our application. Maomi (801) 623-0738 ma***@*****************ii.com

Hello All, I am looking to be a seasonal guest and co-worker at an intentional community that would benefit from freely offered trainings in sociocracy.  I am currently involved in a seasonal community living experiment with a couple of well-aligned friends in Bellingham, Washington, U.S.A., and would love to go somewhere sunny and warm over the winter months- around December-February.  During this time, I will be wrapping up my certification program as a trainer of sociocracy, and will need to carry out several trainings to earn my certificate.  I would love if those trainings could benefit a couple of intentional communities- and would love even more if one of those communities were in a tropical place I could retreat to for the winter! I am looking for a mutually beneficial cultural and energetic exchange- one that uplifts, connects, and supports all involved.   In case you are not familiar with sociocracy, it is a governance model based in consent decision-making and circular hierarchy, or hierarchy of specificity.  You can learn more about sociocracy by visiting Sociocracy For All, the virtual school I am completing my certification through. A bit about me and my offerings… I see myself as a creative problem-solver, initiator, and someone who naturally holds the whole and integrates the parts.  Collaboration, resourcefulness, curiosity, openness, and compassion are all very important to me.  I also see myself as a culinary artist and am interested in growing wholesome food and preparing it with love for the nourishment of all.  Additionally, I would love to practice the healing art of reiki with those who could benefit from it and hold space for or participate in conscious movement practices. You can learn more about me and my journey by reviewing my communitarian resume. Thank you for reading my call.  If you find resonance in my message and think there is potential for working and living together, please call back so we can explore the possibility.

I’m writing this in May of 2026. This year we bought 3 Mediterranean Dairy Water Buffalo to improve milk production and presently have 17 that we manage on about 50 acres. Over the years we’ve been using HRM (Holistic Resource Management) animal grazing teachings and our pastures continue to look better. Water Buffalo are a major part of our Permaculture Farm near Tampa Florida. Our market garden this season got off to a slow start because of record freezes and then diseases, but finally have a fairly good-looking garden. We did 3 batches of sugar cane last winter and our cane mill worked great. We lost most of the tropical orchard trees because of the freezes, and citrus greening is still a big problem here. We installed an 11 KW stand-alone hybrid solar system with a 20 KW battery, which will be our largest single system. Still have our small edible plant nursery, but may be down-sizing it. Last year we bought a nice used backhoe, another tractor and had our biggest barn tented for termites. At the beginning of this year one of our members started going to NA meetings, which he needed. There he met a girlfriend and a couple of months ago left our group to live with her. He still helps a little here but ended up getting another job. Then 2 of the remaining folks here got married, without any notice, and ended up leaving last week. Presently It’s just Debbie and I, but we do have some local help and a support group of friends.
