What we do

Co-Creating a Brighter Future
It has become apparent that our world is changing and changing fast like never before in human history. Some of these changes are causing people to feel insecure, frustrated, and overburdened, making life seem almost unbearable. So many people today find themselves overwhelmed by more responsibilities, more uncertainties, more misinformation, more distractions, more division, more control, more fear, and inevitably more stress. We live in a world more connected than ever before, yet in many ways, as human beings, we could not be more disconnected. It’s no wonder why depression, anxiety, addiction, loneliness, divorce, and suicide rates are at an all-time high, affecting the lives of every one of us. It is precisely in times like these that we need to reach out, connect and create the change that we want to see in our lives and the world around us. If we want things to get better, we must come together and do our part for a brighter tomorrow and a happier future!
Who We Are and What We Stand For
We are a family of four in search of like-minded people who want to join us in building a community rooted in unity, dignity, and mutual respect. Our vision is about far more than shared beliefs, which often serve to divide us; it’s about honoring our shared humanity and understanding that we are all connected, coming from the same place and connected to the same force that holds us all together. In this community, we aim to transcend personal beliefs and focus on treating each other with genuine respect, recognizing that we are all part of one interconnected whole.
We believe that the humility to acknowledge what we don’t know is essential. None of us truly knows how to live; that’s a hard truth that many shy away from, yet it’s one that binds us. This is why we must stay open-minded, questioning the notion that we have things ‘figured out’ or that any of us hold the right to control or stand above another. It’s this very mindset that fuels disconnection and diminishes our capacity for understanding.
Together, we seek to live with open hearts and curious minds, supporting one another without pretension. Our community will be a space where we let go of the need to impose, control, or judge, and instead embrace life as an ongoing journey of learning and connection. Currently, we’re based in the Laurentides, but we remain flexible on location, as we know these decisions are best made collectively, with everyone’s voice and wisdom valued.
If you’re seeking a community that values humility, openness, and shared growth, we invite you to explore this journey with us.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has!” Margaret Mead

Our Mission

Coexist Community
A sanctuary to grow, learn, heal, and evolve – where happiness, love, forgiveness, and empathy are woven into the fabric of daily life. Rooted in truth, facts, oneness, openness, equality, grace, mercy, humility, and freedom, this is a space where giving and sharing take precedence. Children are treated as equals, their voices heard, and their rights respected and honored… read that again! Here, living in the moment and embodying the change we wish to see is not just encouraged but celebrated. Unbound by labels, money, beliefs, status, competition, or rigid rules! Coexist Community thrives on freedom to express thoughts, opinions, feelings, and emotions. It is a place where we treat each other as we wish to be treated,honoring the uniqueness and beauty of all creation :)

How to join

In our journey to create a space for authentic connection and growth, we’ve explored many communities that, sadly, seem to lose sight of their purpose. Instead of being a haven from the world’s selfish and greedy ways, many have become a reflection of them, rooted in control, exclusivity, and material gain. These structures, burdened by rigid rules, steep financial demands, and questionable intentions, often stray far from the essence of community: a place of mutual respect, care, and collective well-being.
At Coexist Community, we envision something different, something simpler and more conscious. Our approach is not about controlling others or erecting barriers to belonging; it’s about removing them. We believe that community should be a place where people can come as they are, contribute what they can, and feel valued simply for being part of the collective.
We reject the notion that connection and collaboration should come at the cost of large sums of money or unreasonable demands. Instead, we are focused on creating a space where giving, sharing, and mutual support flow naturally. We aim to foster a culture of abundance, not in material possessions, but in love, understanding, and shared purpose.
Our membership is designed to embody the values we hold dear: oneness, equality, freedom, and respect. It is about living consciously, coexisting harmoniously, and supporting one another in a way that reflects our shared humanity and interconnectedness with all life. By simplifying the process and removing the distractions of greed and control, we can focus on what truly matters: creating a community that nurtures growth, healing, and evolution for everyone involved.

Decision-making process

  • Full Consensus

Everyone must agree before moving forward.

Governance structure

  • Collaborative/Horizontal

Power and responsibility are shared relatively equally among members.

Conflict resolution approach

We are seeking to create a community with other like-hearted individuals and families who recognize the urgent need to make a meaningful difference in the world and in the lives of others. In times like these, it’s clear that focusing solely on ourselves falls short when so many around us are physically, emotionally, and spiritually in need. Real impact begins when we prioritize the well-being and happiness of others, creating ripples of positive change that extend through any community we build.
We believe that to genuinely care for ourselves, we must also care for others and the world that nourishes us all – and by caring for others and our shared environment, we also nurture our own well-being. Though we don’t claim to have all the answers, we do understand the importance of setting aside personal biases, embracing openness, and remaining grounded in our shared experiences.
As interconnected individuals, united as One, we know it is essential to reflect this truth in how we live and interact. Let’s create a community that embodies unity, empathy, and purpose – a living example of what it means to support each other and build a future rooted in respect, compassion, and collective growth.

LOOKING FOR OUR NEW FAMILY OF CO CREATORS TO JOIN OUR ADVENTURE! Message us to schedule a visit! More about us and our vision below! Read on and we look forward to hearing from you soon if you feel in alignment with our vision! A forming and co-created spiritually-oriented intentional community and homestead nestled in the beautiful woods of Northern Michigan. We are focused on self-awareness, free and open spiritual/consciousness development, sustainable living, self sufficiency, growing organic food, building small energy efficient homes/dwellings, peace, and freedom in all things. We are looking to build a community of like minded souls that share in our vision of creating a harmonious and sustainable way of life that is close to nature and focused on living from the heart/soul. Seeking kind, compassionate, caring, and emotionally mature souls who are good at non violent communication, resolving conflict peacefully, and working together. The community property is well on its way to sustainability already with a fruit orchard with over 18 apple trees and a variety of plum and pear trees. The property also has 2 very large organic gardens covering around 3 acres in total combined size filled with organic healthy vegetables for community self sufficiency, farm market selling, and food preserving (canning). We have plans to build a couple energy efficient green houses in the near future! We are also getting 30-40 chickens for egg production within the next month. Also considering a couple cows or goats for milk. We currently have 3 houses on the homestead property that are available to new community members for rent or work trade or a combination of both! The main community house has potentially 6 bedrooms available as well. We have plans to build multiple small/tiny homes and cabins in the beautiful woods here for members that are energy efficient and off grid with renewable clean energy/electricity and rainwater harvesting. We are working on a community in
