Wholesome Alignment

We are Wholesome Alignment. Founded in 2018 by Callie and Zayne Ward. We have been a fluctuating group of people who seek to develop a better understanding of ourselves.
Over the years we have evolved from a monthly gathering of like minded people, to a traveling message across the country of health, to taking a brief pause to re assess our lives, to the now.
We plan on coming back full force to represent what we believe is the way humans were supposed to live.
The normal society in which we live is killing us slowly. If you are looking into joining an intentional community then I won’t have to explain.
We aren’t here to push religious or spiritual beliefs. But we are looking for people open to experiencing nature and slow living but with comforts we have learned to love.
I love nothing more than nature walks, farming, and playing with the animals. But some nights I want to curl up in my bed and watch some comfort movies or shows.
We are not seeking complete primal living. Humans were designed to grow and learn and this technology is what has brought us together in this moment.
What we wish to create is a modern homestead that can grow with the world as we choose. We will live consciously and independently.
Herbal medicines but not neglect medical necessities (medication or procedures).
Home grown food but not anger when something needs to be bought at a store.
Self sufficient but not a difficult life.
Homes School but not conditioning to a certain belief.
We have seen many things in our travels. People that have no compromise or are so stuck in their beliefs that they choose not to see the other options.
We want happiness and community. Friends that will share stories and help each other. A community where we can let the children run and not be afraid of where they may wander.
I want to end every night with a communal campfire but respect boundaries when people may be overwhelmed and need space. We are all healing from trauma in some form and we are not perfect. We help each other heal and process it. We are a community built on respect, love, and emotional growth.
The founders.
Zayne and Callie grew up in New Jersey (I know it is unfortunate. But it’s not that terrible.) Zayne works in the tech field and his wife is a hairdresser but is a part time author.
Both traveled in their van with their one year old son while running Wholesome Alignment completely virtually. We found work on farms and in campgrounds. We even set up a multitude of gatherings, meeting amazing and spiritually awakened individuals. W have explored much of the United States. We knew we couldn’t travel forever and that’s when we made our home base in New Jersey to stay close to relatives. While we plotted our next big move to full time homesteading. While we will be working remotely for quite some time our biggest hope is to generate enough income from the homestead to help cover any extra costs.
We enjoy anime, DND, reading, nature walks, foraging, cleaning up litter, as well as planting native species! I had a pretty gnarly bruise from an incident trying to kill Spotted Lanternflies in our area.
Zayne is into fitness and video games (playing and creating), Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, and retro video games.
Callie is into reading, writing, nature and spirituality, anime, art, and medicinal herbs and identifying them in my environment. I also LOVE wild mushrooms. They are the best to identify.
We also have two beautiful free spirited children.
