Quaker Intentional Village-Canaan

I’m seeking a craftsperson who would like to carry on my ecological simple shoemaking business. I’m a member of Sirius Community in Shutesbury MA and live nearby. In my studio there’s loads of beautiful leather, ecological soling, lasts to make shoes over, all sorts of findings (thread, snaps, buckles etc), machinery – and I’ll offer a several-month apprenticeship. I have recently developed a technique for making custom footwear that could provide a foundation for a successful business!  website: https://simpleshoemaking.eco/ For inquiries please email Sharon Raymond at si**************@***il.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. We look out for each other, make decisions by consensus, and share the work of stewarding the land. The home available for rent has 4 bedrooms plus a study, and 3-1/2 bathrooms. 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.

What’s here now: An intention, a framework developed over five years, and a programme running in central Victoria to find people to build with. No land, no group, no timeline. The question this is organised around: What makes a community of people living together sustainable over decades – where people enjoy being there, conflict is low, and the conflict that does arise gets handled in ways people value. The distinctive premise is capacity before formation. Most communities form first and build relational skill afterwards, usually under pressure. This one proposes doing it the other way round: people build the capacities first, and the group forms from people who have them. That includes a working idea about collective capacity – that a group has a ratio, and below some threshold it can’t metabolise its own conflict and starts consuming itself. Roughly: in a group of twenty, perhaps three or four with high capacity, most in the middle, and very few without. Untested, and something this project exists to find out. Governance: Sociocracy, with the intention of testing it meaningfully at scale rather than adopting it nominally. What’s actually happening: A three-week residency at a property near Castlemaine, and a practice group running before it. The medium-term aim is twenty to forty people at a rented facility. The long-term aim is a support hub sharing the framework more widely. What I’m looking for: People who want to build this capacity seriously, and who might eventually want to build something together. Not necessarily people who want to live here – the current property probably isn’t the long-term site. Happy to hear from anyone this resonates with, including people already in community who’d rather share what they’ve learned than join anything.

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!
