What we do

The vision of a New Thought Intentional Community has been coming to be for a while now. It is big and seems impossible at the moment. It seems as if it should be a “someday” kind of dream, not something I should be giving my energy to right now, but it’s become the kind of burning soul desire that my favorite spiritual teachers talk of and I can’t ignore it, no matter how impossible it seems to my ego. My spirit self keeps harping on me that it shouldn’t be ignored. Yes, it may take years to come about, but it’s time to start building the mental equivalent now.
Below you will find details of what I see when I think of this project.
The Space
I see a small community in the woods. It appears to be a campground resort with all the typical amenities you find in such places. There are a few average sized family homes and several smaller residences varying from tiny houses to primitive cabins. There is a community pool, hot tub, and recreational area with a playground and space to enjoy nature.
There is a large community building where meetings, classes, group meals, and social gatherings take place. A few small shops, including a general store, can be found within the community. The shops cater to both the residents and visitors.
There are wildflowers and gardens everywhere. There is also a thriving food forest and a small collection of livestock. There are two greenhouses on the property. One helps to maintain food production throughout the winter months. The other is used to grow marijuana and possibly hemp.
The Residents
The members of the community are focused on continual personal growth and wellbeing. They all believe in the power of a positive mindset and are committed to using that power to maintain a prosperous and harmonious environment in which to live. They are conscious of their use of Earth’s resources and strive to be respectful and conservative with those resources.
The community shares many common resources and works together to provide for the needs of its people while celebrating individuality and diversity. They gather regularly to share meals, engage in spiritual practice, learn together, discuss community business, and share struggles and celebrations. While these gatherings are important to the community, the importance of time alone and within individual family units is also recognized and respected.
The Business
The community has income sources that give residents the opportunity to earn their income on site. They offer classes, workshops, and retreats of various types to guests. Many residents utilize their individual skills to create retail merchandise. Others offer services including various healing modalities and coaching.

Our Mission

Our mission is to cultivate a conscious, nature‑rooted intentional community where individuals committed to personal growth, positive mindset, and harmonious living come together to co‑create a prosperous, sustainable, and spiritually nurturing environment. We share resources, support each other’s wellbeing, and steward the land with respect as we manifest a thriving village that celebrates individuality, fosters collaboration, and empowers every member to live with purpose, connection, and joy.

37-Acre Sanctuary for Community, Homesteading and Off-Grid Living

Imagine waking to birdsong, mist rising over open meadows, and sunlight filtering through towering cedars. Picture a place where you can gather with community around a fire, cultivate food from rich living soil, steward a thriving ecosystem, and build a life rooted in connection, resilience, and purpose. Welcome to Heartwood Homestead — a remarkable 37-acre land project in Washington’s South Sound region that offers a rare combination of established off-grid infrastructure, development potential, ecological abundance, and accessibility. Whether you’re dreaming of creating an intentional community, regenerative farm, eco-village, healing retreat center, artist sanctuary, educational land project, family compound, or simply a private homestead with room to grow, Heartwood Homestead provides an extraordinary foundation to bring that vision to life. A Property Designed for Possibility Finding land is easy. Finding land that already has the infrastructure, water systems, power generation, multiple dwellings, community spaces, and zoning flexibility needed for a larger vision is exceptionally rare. Heartwood Homestead has spent years evolving into a functioning land project. Much of the difficult and expensive groundwork has already been completed, allowing new stewards to focus on creating rather than merely building. The property is zoned RR1/5, allowing for up to seven homes plus ADUs, creating significant potential for cooperative ownership structures, multi-family living, intentional community development, rental income, retreat accommodations, or phased expansion. For those seeking a community-oriented property, this is one of the most compelling opportunities available in the Pacific Northwest. Water Security and Off-Grid Resilience One of the greatest challenges facing many rural properties is water access. Heartwood Homestead shines in this regard. A brand-new 21 ga

Turn-key commune opportunity on 30 acres in beautiful rural Minnesota (~$500-550k)

Hi everyone! Our founding group of queer women is transitioning ownership of our rural Minnesota homestead, and we’re looking for new stewards to keep it running as an intentional community! Let me give you a tiny window into what to expect: Picture yourself stepping out of the overwhelming corporate chaos of the city, into an idyllic little slice of a slower life – there’s a certain look of relief we tend to see on our visitors’ faces. When you enter, the path is surrounded by vibrant flowers in every color that come back every year. To your left is a stone path to the organic gardens, growing easily without much effort. Straight ahead are the barns and pathways to the fields – you might pass by the occasional honeybee or butterfly. To the right is a large farmhouse, behind which there is a mossy forested area where you’ll find a conversation circle fashioned out of old logs and stones, and a small sitting platform up in the trees.    The Highlights: 30 Acres: Forest, pond, creek, permaculture gardens (Hügelkultur), native plants, perennial flowers and future fruit trees, and ~1 acre dry-farmed. 9-Bedroom Farmhouse: ~4,000 sq ft across 3 levels. Solid heating, great bones, in good shape, quiet layout. Outbuildings: Garage, woodshop barn, event barn, quonset storage, a silo, plus honeybees & resident farm cat! Location: Quiet and peaceful. Remote with off-the-grid features like a well and pending solar installation, yet under 10 mins to hospital/town. Zero flood/fire risk, and a wonderfully welcoming, queer-friendly local network.   Ideal for an established group of 2+ people ready to take on a relatively large farmhouse and property. We are open to an outright purchase or a gradual transition/shared-ownership arrangements with existing members. -> Full details, photos, and contact info here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ONZk-TUYQg3Xzh5Q7yl14PPeuwl5NYXu9ZDTgFGT4sY/edit?usp=sharing   Feel free to message me or share with anyone looking for land!
