What we do

Discover Your Off-Grid Oasis — Join Our Intentional Community!
Are you ready to live a life where nature, self-sufficiency, and modern comforts harmoniously blend? Imagine a place where you can build your own cozy tiny home, cultivate organic gardens, and enjoy expansive privacy—all while reaping the economic benefits of collective organization. Welcome to our community at IC.org, where we’re redefining home, sustainability, and connection.
A Home Built on Freedom & Flexibility
Our community is designed on a foundation of freedom. Picture a sprawling parcel of land that welcomes innovative, yet natural, developments. Whether you dream of a tiny home surrounded by vibrant cottage clusters or a personal nook tucked away amidst lush privacy, here you have the flexibility:
**Custom Development:** Build the dwelling of your dreams without cumbersome permits or restrictive zoning.
**Integrated Living:** Enjoy the perfect balance with individually landscaped plots and shared common areas for community interaction.
**Modern Meets Natural:** Embrace forward-thinking amenities that include automated sustainable systems—from energy generation via solar panels to eco-friendly waste conversions—designed to ensure efficiency without sacrificing nature.
Your Sustainable Lifestyle, Your Way
Step into a retreat where daily life becomes a vibrant dance with nature. Our community’s heart beats with the promise of organic food, renewable energy, and innovation:
**Organic Food & Gardens:** Cultivate your own produce or enjoy the bounty of our collective greenhouse and aquaponics setup. Imagine fresh vegetables, home-raised chickens, dairy goats, and even the occasional quirky addition like Australian freshwater lobsters—all grown sustainably.
**Water & Energy Independence:** With the ease of installing a personal well backed by a central cistern and renewable energy sources like solar panels and biofuel generators, you’re set to enjoy a reliable, self-sufficient lifestyle.
**Privacy with Connection:** Relish the solitude of your personal haven while enjoying shared spaces that foster genuine community bonds and a collaborative spirit.
The Collective Economic Advantage
Living in our intentional community isn’t just a soulful experience—it’s also a smart economic choice. By pooling resources and standardizing sustainable practices, we reduce costs for everyone:
**Lower Costs & Shared Resources:** From efficient shared utilities and water systems to a collective fabrication shop and central greenhouse, our design reduces individual overheads and leverages community strength.
**Innovative Infrastructure:** Invest in modern and efficient systems that convert everyday waste into valuable organic fertilizer or use community automation to take care of routine tasks, allowing you more time to pursue your passions.
**Community-Driven Growth:** With shared planning and expert guidance on zoning and permits, the administrative side is smooth, reducing legal and construction hurdles. This means more energy and resources for the things that matter most—sustainable living and genuine connection.
Welcome to a New Way of Living
Our intentional community is more than just a retreat—it’s a vibrant, dynamic space where each member contributes to a sustainable future enriched by personal empowerment and collective care. Whether you’re an eco-enthusiast, a creative soul, or a forward-thinking family ready for change, here you can experience:
**True Autonomy:** Enjoy the independence of off-grid living with all the modern conveniences you value.
**Collaborative Spirit:** Tap into the strength of collective organization that transforms sustainable living into a financially sound and emotionally satisfying lifestyle.
**Innovative Solutions:** From automated systems that manage resources to sustainable waste processing that turns everyday waste into organic wealth, every component is tailored for a harmonious balance with nature.
**Ready to embrace a lifestyle where your dreams, nature, and community merge seamlessly?**
Join us at IC.org and help shape a future that’s empowered by self-sufficiency, privacy, and collective success. Drop us a message, share your vision, and let’s build this incredible off-grid oasis together.
If this sparks your curiosity, consider exploring the many angles of our approach: from the design of integrated sustainable technologies to the heartwarming benefits of organic, community-driven living. There’s so much more to discover—let’s dive deeper into how this lifestyle can transform your everyday, from nourishing relationships to inspiring the future of eco-friendly innovation.

Do you feel called to help co-create a small, newly forming eco-spiritual community?

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

Joining the community

“Hi everyone! I’m looking to join a conscious, sex-positive community or co-living space where I can learn, grow, and live alongside open-minded people. My background is rooted in Judeo-Christian culture, but my personal journey has taught me that true spirituality isn’t defined by rigid religious labels like Judaism or Christianity. To me, the ultimate truth and divinity lie simply in love—loving one another, practicing authentic connection, and fostering deep empathy. I view God as pure, unconditional love. I deeply value consent, clear communication, respect for boundaries, and emotional maturity. Whether it’s short-term stays, volunteering, or shared housing, I’m eager to contribute positive energy, openness, and a willingness to learn from the community. Looking forward to connecting!”

Housing Co-op in Berkeley, CA has two member openings for 1-bedroom units

Parker Street Cooperative (PSC) – a co-owned housing co-op in Berkeley – has two openings for 1-bedroom units for new prospective members! THE APPLICATION DEADLINE IS 11:59PM ON NOV 1ST, 2026 You can find the application on our website at parkerstcoop.org Our monthly assessment for a 1-bedroom will likely be just $675 (compared with average rent of about $2,400 for a 1-bedroom in Berkeley). This covers all our shared costs. This is a great opportunity to become a fellow co-owner at a very affordable cost and secure long-term low-cost housing with a co-op community in a fantastic location in Berkeley! The current  share price for a 1-bedroom membership is about $30,600 (which is a small fraction of market rates and entirely refunded/sold back with nominal interest if a member leaves the co-op) ONE-TIME CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION FEE Lastly, if admitted, becoming a member also requires a one-time, nonrefundable $6,000 Capital Contribution Fee, which helps sustain the co-op property. For example, renovating a unit prior to move-in averages about $12,000.   CO-OP DETAILS PSC has 24 units in two buildings. We’re located in a highly convenient Berkeley location, fairly near the UC Berkeley campus, downtown, a bunch of grocery stores, Ashby Avenue, the Berkeley hills, two BART stations and other public transportation, and just two blocks west of Telegraph and two blocks south of Dwight.   The apartments have beautiful, nearly wall-to-wall windows in the living room, sizable windows in the bedroom and kitchen, hardwood floors, and original Art Deco kitchens and bathrooms. Shared spaces include common rooms, rooftop decks, beautiful though moderate garden spaces (17 fruiting plants!), high-quality fitness equipment, a very well-equipped maintenance room, bike/storage space, and a rear parking lot. MAKING IT POSSIBLE We co-own and manage the property and work together to help keep it very affordable for us and for those who come after us. For that reason, we need people who are excited and prepared to contribute substantial time, energy, and skills to the co-op, such as project leadership, budget management, facilitation, conflict mediation, administration and/or gardening. An ability to get along with a wide range of different people is also highly desirable, and prior co-op experience, or similar experience with cooperative or community-based living, is a plus. MAINTENANCE SKILLS — HIGHEST PRIORITY FOR THIS OPENING For these specific openings, substantial maintenance experience/skills are a major priority! 9-MONTH PROSPECTIVE TRIAL PERIOD The final two candidates selected after our interview process would first enter a 9-month fixed-term tenancy. As a tenant, the candidate would pay $1,675/month in rent, along with a $1,675 security deposit (which is either refunded or credited towards the share value). Near the end of the 9 months, the co-op will make a final decision about whether to offer the candidate admission as a co-op co-owner. CO-OP TOURS We’re planning to organize at least two tours of the co-op property in October before the application deadline. If you’d be interested in joining a tour, please contact us at pa***************************@***il.com and let us know. We don’t have openings that often, and each one is a special opportunity! Please feel free to share this opening with anyone who might be interested in being a new member for our community!

Looking for a family-friendly farm, cohousing, or intentional community

This might be a little hard to explain, but I’m going to try. I’m 28, Colombian-American, and I have a seven-year-old daughter. Our life is a little unconventional. I travel, my work is not a normal 9–5, and I’ve realized I don’t want to keep building our life around temporary housing, hired help, and having to recreate a support system everywhere we go. I keep wondering whether there is somewhere we could actually belong. Not necessarily an “intentional community” in the formal sense. It could be a farm, a group of families, cohousing, an intergenerational household, or something I don’t have the language for yet. What I want is for my daughter to grow up around people she really knows. Other children. Adults who become familiar and trusted over time. A place where people notice when someone needs help, where meals or childcare or work sometimes overlap naturally, and where community is more than everyone living near each other. And for myself, I want people I can actually think and build with. I care a lot about spirituality, inner work, land, education, caregiving, and learning how to live differently. But I also care about power and about whether the communities we create reproduce the same things we say we’re trying to get away from. I need to be around people who can acknowledge things like racism, class, gender and systemic inequality without becoming defensive or treating those conversations as inherently divisive. I’ve been developing some of my own thinking around all of this through a framework I call Conscious Colombia, Participating Wisely, and Contemporary Sādhana. A lot of it comes down to a question I keep returning to: how do we become people who can participate in community wisely, while also creating structures that remain accountable and open to correction? I don’t have a fixed location in mind and I’m not looking to rush into anything. I’m really just trying to find the people and places where this kind of life is already being attempted — imperfectly, seriously, in real life. If you’re building something like this, living in something like this, or even asking similar questions, I’d love to talk.
