The Wise Acres Community is a cohousing neighborhood in Indianola, Washington. We currently have two openings: a 5-bedroom house and a 1-bedroom cottage.  In Wise Acres, we gather for dinners, parties, and other events in our common house and tend a community garden together. We look out for each other, make decisions by consensus, and share the work of stewarding the land. One house available for rent has 4 bedrooms, plus a study that can be used as a bedroom. The kitchen and great room face east and south, with high windows that invite lots of natural light. The single-story home has a wood-burning stove in the living room and a whole-house A/C heat pump. Unfurnished. For photos and a floor plan of this house, click here. The other home available for rent is a 1 bedroom 650 sq ft cottage with skylight and a forest balcony. The tranquil, three-story house is suitable for those with good physical mobility.  For photos, click here. Wise Acres is walking distance from the beach in a small, friendly town that is 6 miles from the ferry to Seattle. Here’s a link to the Wise Acres community website.  We are seeking to rent to a household that wants to participate fully in community life. For more information, call or text 360 860 0644.

We are currently accepting full-time residential volunteers. Join us for 6 months (or more) at our Tibetan Buddhist center. Volunteers receive their own private room as well as all meals covered. Volunteers also have full access to classes, workshops, events, and ceremonies. This is a labor-intensive work study program–volunteers work 6 days a week on a variety of tasks such as cooking, cleaning, house maintenance, gardening, It & Tech, event planning, administrative duties, and more. 

Money, love and power are among the hardest things any community works with, and many of us carry the same fears into both: not having enough, losing what we have, and the sense that if someone else gets money or love, we won’t. Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture is taught by two intentional communities. Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle are from Clear Sky Meditation and Retreat Center, a Buddhist-lineage community in the BC Rockies. Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera Healing Biotope, a community of about 160 people in southern Portugal that has spent decades studying love, trust and relationship. Clear Sky has spent years working on its relationship with money, and our two communities found surprising parallels in the fears beneath both. Over four sessions we explore the roots of fear around money and belonging, love, possession and power, trust as infrastructure (community as a container for healing), and ethical livelihood. We use short meditations, body-based practices, reflection and small-group conversation. You do not need to be in a romantic relationship or live in community. When: October 27, Nov 3, 10, 17. All four sessions: 12–2pm Vancouver, 1–3pm Alberta, 7–9pm UK and Portugal, 8–10pm Central Europe. Note: US and some Canadian provinces change clocks on November 1, so the US west coast is 12–2pm on October 27, then 11am–1pm for the remaining sessions, and Eastern is 3–5pm on October 27, then 2–4pm for the rest. Cost: sliding scale Details and registration: https://www.clearskycenter.org/event/healing-love-healing-money-online/

The Living Springs Log House sits on 14.75 beautiful acres in the Ozark hills near Huntsville, Arkansas. It has a lake view and so many possibilities for your dreams to be manifested.   – A cypress log house with a walk-out basement suite, plenty of room for a family, housemates or guests – A cave spring that has filled two cisterns since 2017 – Established gardens  – A big metal building for a workshop, storage, gatherings or animal shelter – 40 more acres next door are also for sale, for about 55 acres together The owner, Barbara, is a passionate vegan. She bought the land in 2017 hoping for a vegan community, and she would be glad to see that dream come true for someone. It could be a good fit for an intentional community, a farm animal sanctuary, a retreat or healing center, sober living, or a multi-generational homestead. Of course if someone is not a vegan you are welcome to inquire! The Animal Earth Alliance, a friendly network for people working for animals and the earth, was born here. Part of the sale will help the Alliance grow. www.animalearthalliance.org Asking $475,000. See photos, videos and articles at livingspringsloghouse.com

I am looking for a well-aligned community where I can live and work in a mutually beneficial way- offering my organizational, educational, and communication skills to further our collective and individual causes.  You can learn more about me by viewing my communitarian resume. My ideal community would be able to employ me or offer a fair trade for room and possibly board.  It would be practicing or interested in exploring sociocratic governance and share values like cooperation (or powering-with), transparency, clarity, compassion, and authenticity.  It would also be a plus if it held its land in a Community Land Trust or the like.  If you think we may be a good fit for each other, I would love to meet you and explore the possibility of working together! ✌🏼
