We are in a time of great transformation on our planet, a time of co-creation of the New. Darkness is being brought to light. Old structures are being reshaped and aligned with Spirit. We join together in community to love, serve, and remember. We join together in community to benefit all that we cherish.
Wild Grace provides an opportunity for an intimate group to focus on deepening in spiritual practice, authentic relating, stewarding this sacred land, and serving our collective expansion of consciousness as we foster and transmit love, tenderness, and compassion. We are dedicated to life-long learning of the skills needed to communicate, heal, and live together in open-hearted connection. We encourage everyone brings forth their gifts and share in the responsibility of co-creating community—thinking like a village.
The seed of community was planted at Wild Grace over a decade ago when several families moved onto adjacent undeveloped land. Now it is growing as something both social and sacred with the intent to more intimately weave our lives together and co-create a conscious eco-spiritual community.
We are located on 80 acres overlooking the wild and scenic South Yuba River in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California. A 1300 sq.ft. two-bedroom, two bath, plus office home was recently completed along with other living spaces for singles or couples. All residents need a source of income for living expenses including rent. In our recently completed temple we have almost-daily meditations, weekly dance and Qi Gong classes, musical gatherings, inspirational sharings, and seasonal ceremonies. Currently we come together twice weekly for meals, meditate most mornings together, have weekly heart circles where we practice trauma-informed authentic relating, work in the gardens and orchard, and host potlucks and kirtans (sacred music) for the larger community.
At the center of each of our lives is deep listening to Spirit although it takes many expressions. We draw from many inspirational sources including A Course of Love, Choose Only Love, Thomas Huebl, Terry Patten, Eckhart Tolle, Thich Nhat Hahn, Yogananda, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, and Francis Weller. Some community members have lived in intentional spiritual community, including Ananda Village.
We join in community to realize our potential. With open hearts we practice with different ways of creating compassionate union and relationship as we stay fluid and discover what works best. We make use of structure but seek to hold it neither too tightly nor too loosely. We are blessed to have each other as we learn to be more authentic and mindful. And we are willing to embrace the messiness and discomfort that arises with healing and transformation.
We listen to the whispers of our individual and collective souls and the soul of Earth. We embrace both the transcendental and human aspects of the Divine. As our collective suffering is held in a communal container it opens us to the flow of grace. We are deepened as we embrace both grief and gratitude. We practice loving kindness and tenderness in response to our own and other’s suffering. This is our deep and continual practice.
We join together to consciously bring the sacred and community living together in support of the “great turning” happening on our planet now.
We are looking for several new core members who feel deeply aligned with our Vision Statement and have the passion, creativity, energy, and soulfulness to help co-create a strong container of support for each other and for our larger community, hosting regular meditations, gatherings, working in the gardens and on the land to maintain a beautiful environment. After you have been through the visitor process, if we feel a strong mutual resonance we welcome prospective members to come for some time. We do a one month heart review to see how it is going for all of us. If it continues to feel right then there is a three month mutual heart review, then again at six months, and after one year one can request to become a permanent member.
Please look at our website and if you resonate with what you are seeing and reading then please email mu*********@*ac.com with a bit of information about yourself and your interest in and experience with community living. If it feels right we can arrange a zoom call, and if it still feels right we can arrange a visit. We love connecting with other like-minded souls.
