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 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.
We are looking for 6-8 like-minded individuals to form the founding membership, finalize the vision for the community, and work together to manifest this community.
A few people (not elected by the broader community) make the major decisions.
A single person, couple, or small group makes most major decisions.
Primary authority rests with the community’s founder(s) or designated leader(s).
We envision 8-10 founding members who will form a board/leadership group. The needs, wants, and best interest of all members will be taken into consideration with every decision.
Members contribute a percentage of income to community funds.
Join fee: Yes
Regular fees: Yes

We hope to create a community that produces shared income through educational and spiritual events in addition to individual income streams.
A residential project: people live here as their primary home.
