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

The Wise Acres Community is a cohousing neighborhood in Indianola, Washington. In Wise Acres, we gather for dinners, parties, and other events in our common house and tend a community garden together.

The kitchen and great room face east and south, with high windows that invite lots of natural light. The home has a wood-burning stove in the living room and a whole-house A/C heat pump. Unfurnished. Wise Acres is walking distance from the beach in a small, friendly town 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 photos and a floor plan click here.

Terra Futura currently has a limited number of two- and three-bedroom homes available for purchase, long-term rental, or lease with an option to purchase—giving prospective residents several ways to join our small but growing community. Renting can be a way to experience life here before deciding to buy, while a purchase option can offer a path toward ownership for those who know they’d like to put down roots but need some time to get their finances in place. Terra Futura is an intentionally-designed regenerative neighborhood in the vibrant mountain town of Asheville, North Carolina, with shared spaces, paths, gardens, and gathering places that make it easier for neighbors to naturally get to know one another. And because Terra Futura is still in development, new residents have a genuine opportunity to help co-create the culture of the community—the traditions, shared meals, workdays, celebrations, and everyday rhythms that will define life here for years to come. If you’ve been looking for deeper community while still having the privacy of your own home—and want to live in a mountain town known for incredible food, craft breweries, art, live music, and easy access to nature—we’d love to hear from you!

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. Please check out our web site. Thanks!

Old structures are crumbling. New ways of living are calling. We are answering that call. Wild Grace is an eco-spiritual community located in the Sierra foothills 30 minutes from Grass Valley, California. We recently completed new homes for those who feel called to our vision. Currently there are four of us living on this sacred 80 acres of land although we are a hub for an expanded neighborhood community. Many join us weekly for potlucks, expressive dance, Qi Gong, monthly musical gatherings, and seasonal celebrations in our temple, as well as tending to our orchard. We are excited to welcome others to join us on the land who are dedicating their lives to spiritual growth and ready to live in a more focused and intimate heart-centered lifestyle. Might that be you or someone you know? The fundamentals are simple. Spirit. We listen personally and collectively together most mornings, usually starting with a musical offering, a prayer, or a short reading, followed by about 40 minutes of what we call “sacred silence.” Heart Circles. About once a week we gather to share and listen. We are informed by authentic and compassionate communication practices. Nature. The land itself—an 80-acre oasis of field and forest perched above the wild and scenic South Yuba River—calls for our stewardship in the gardens, orchard, greenhouses, and general care. In turn, nature feeds us abundantly, both literally and spiritually. Interbeing. We join with others to share inspiration and connection as we host monthly gatherings of song, story and prayer that draws from the larger community in addition to other events we share with our closer neighbors. As we attend to these fundamentals, Grace flows to and through us—often in “Wild” or unexpected ways. Grace catalyzes through us, but is not something we possess. Because we all are connected, we feel that Grace actively transforms n

Still Point House Manager (Northampton) Windhorse Integrative Mental Health, Inc Are you interested in working where you live? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of others? Do you have experience with running a household, and do you appreciate community-based environments? Windhorse is seeking a manager of a hosted home environment for individuals working with extreme mind states who are arriving to our step-down program. When a Windhorse client first arrives, they are received at our Still Point house, an established home environment where they can land, orient, and meet their clinical team. Each client remains at our Still Point house for two to twelve weeks, at which point they then move to an apartment, which they share with a housemate. Windhorse is seeking a Still Point Manager who will live ongoingly in a house in Northampton and help with these transitions as well as other uses for the house. This individual should be skilled at running an uplifted home (including typical home cleaning and maintenance), cooking, and shopping for the home. They also need to be emotionally regulated, welcoming, compassionate, organized, and patient. While the Still Point Manager has extensive clinical support, the job itself is not clinical. In addition, the Still Point Manager is anticipated to hold outside employment and may do so for up to 20 hours per week. During periods of vacancy when there is no client in residence, the Still Point Manager may also be asked to host guests in the home, either other housemates when they are on respite from their households, or friends and family members from the Windhorse community. In addition, during vacancy periods the Still Point Manager is responsible for providing short periods of respite coverage during housemate time off. This may involve staying with the client in their apartment while the housemate is away (typically for 3 nights) or hosting the client at the Still Point ho
