We are a collective group of like minded community members dedicated to living bountiful and sustainable lives together. Through permaculture principles and conscious living, we are growing together to build an eco-village on our 8-acre property right outside of Olympia.
Currently on the property we have a communal living house with 7 bedrooms and a large kitchen/public space. A couple members live in tiny houses, trailers, or RVs…and we have the capacity to invite new tiny homes/dwellings on to the land. We have an organic farm, small greenhouse, and gardens that grow us an abundance of food during the Spring and Summer months.
We are an all inclusive community, accepting all races, genders, religious beliefs, and family structures into our community. The community is also animal-friendly.
Our community shares meals together multiple times a week, and we engage in consensus decision making process during our weekly house meetings. We believe strongly in co-creation as explained by Abraham-Hicks and do not make any decisions or take any actions that have not been first co-created with all member/managers of the CooP. We host community events promoting fun, conscious living, and spiritual growth on a regular basis.
We invite visitors to our land all-year-round via 6 Hipcamp sites and a couple AirBnB dwellings.
Goals:
-Building self-sustaining systems which support all aspects of wellness
-Challenging ourselves to learn in a way that is fun and inclusive of all ages and learning styles
-Creating a supportive environment that allows for open communication
-Growing together in balance and harmony
-Fostering educational programs
-Engaging in production and local commerce in the area
-Growing medicinal herbs and practicing preventative medicine to achieve optimum physical health
-To reduce our carbon footprint by creating economically independent communities that include local businesses, neighborhoods
-Working towards zero waste, and we share many possessions including vehicles and farm equipment.
-Eventually incorporating our own currency and economic structure
Growing into the new paradigm together through community living, healthy eating, spiritual awareness and collaboration.

If there is a fit, there will be an initial visit with the Community and an invitation to a weekly meeting for a collective interview.
After a group decision making process of approval, applicants are given a 6 month trial move in period, after which if all is well, the existing community will grant full-membership into the Cooperative.
Contact us! Though right now we are not able to accommodate visitors…in the future we will be. Currently we are in the building phase.
