What we do

First-of-its-kind, The Rogue River Eco-Village Destination Resort (RREVDR) is an iconic eco-village destination resort in development in southern Oregon to create an up-scale off-the-grid, sustainable green “smart grid” community of 450 green homes and green eco-businesses using the best green architectural designs and system technologies available. An elite team of top system engineers, green architects, permaculture designers, landscape architects, solar & hydroelectric developers, renewable energy consultants and advisors, hydrologists, geologists, water resource engineers and green business developers are assembled into one of the most innovative green think-tank engineering coalitions ever created. A unique green Home Owners Association and 23 Anchor Businesses are integrated into the first of its kind eco village destination resort in USA.The RREVDE is located on 2,110 acres in some of the most spectacular rural, undeveloped land in southern Oregon, Jackson County between Central Point and Gold Hill on a beautiful scenic bend of the Rogue River. Herds of wild elk roam this undisturbed rural land. This land is only 5 minutes from Interstate 5 and 20 minutes from Medford and yet is it in rural undeveloped land that has a diverse range of topography– meadows,. timber, wetlands, creeks and river.
The RREVDR Water Distribution Design is one of the most spectacular water harvesting and delivery engineering designs created. The primary water delivery originates with an all natural rock channel coming off the historic wild and scenic Rogue River with a beautiful intricate distribution of rock bank water canals integrating with seasonal creeks, collection ponds, wells, natural reservoir lake, storm run-off catchment areas, storage channels & storage tanks and rain cisterns that are all integrated into a “smart water delivery grid system” with overflows designed for instream return back to the Rogue River. All the RREVDR systems are integrated into the innovative water distribution system design. The Hydro-Electric and Solar Power systems, Water Treatment Filtration system and Potable Water Delivery system, Grey Water Recycling system, Living Biological system, Organic agriculture system, Agro-forestry, Gardens, Orchards, Vineyard, Green-houses, Aquaponics and Eco-Ranch are all integrated into a “smart water delivery grid system.”

The HOA also works to maintain the architectural quality in designs, engineering, construction and maintenance of all developments through its architecture committees. RREVDR Home Owners Association & Business Owners Association are part of a new green community management organization where all residents and 23 Green Business Anchors can vote equally and manage a diverse range of committees. The HOA works closely with the Coalition of 23 Green Anchor Businesses to administrate and manage many maintenance programs, projects, committees, and eco-village amenities that homeowners and residents can enjoy in this unique destination resort.

Two Homes Available in Cohousing Community - Indianola, WA

The Wise Acres Community is a cohousing neighborhood in Indianola, Washington. We currently have two openings: a 5-bedroom house and a 1-bedroom cottage.  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. One house available for rent has 4 bedrooms, plus a study that can be used as a bedroom. The kitchen and great room face east and south, with high windows that invite lots of natural light. The single-story home has a wood-burning stove in the living room and a whole-house A/C heat pump. Unfurnished. For photos and a floor plan of this house, click here. The other home available for rent is a 1 bedroom 650 sq ft cottage with skylight and a forest balcony. The tranquil, three-story house is suitable for those with good physical mobility.   Wise Acres is walking distance from the beach in a small, friendly town that is 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 more information, call or text 360 860 0644.

Healing Love Healing Money: Trust As The Foundation For A New Culture

Money, love and power are among the hardest things any community works with, and many of us carry the same fears into both: not having enough, losing what we have, and the sense that if someone else gets money or love, we won’t. Healing Love, Healing Money: Trust as the Foundation for a New Culture is taught by two intentional communities. Karen McAllister and Duncan Cryle are from Clear Sky Meditation and Retreat Center, a Buddhist-lineage community in the BC Rockies. Monika Alleweldt and Benjamin von Mendelssohn from Tamera Healing Biotope, a community of about 160 people in southern Portugal that has spent decades studying love, trust and relationship. Clear Sky has spent years working on its relationship with money, and our two communities found surprising parallels in the fears beneath both. Over four sessions we explore the roots of fear around money and belonging, love, possession and power, trust as infrastructure (community as a container for healing), and ethical livelihood. We use short meditations, body-based practices, reflection and small-group conversation. You do not need to be in a romantic relationship or live in community. When: October 27, Nov 3, 10, 17. All four sessions: 12–2pm Vancouver, 1–3pm Alberta, 7–9pm UK and Portugal, 8–10pm Central Europe. Note: US and some Canadian provinces change clocks on November 1, so the US west coast is 12–2pm on October 27, then 11am–1pm for the remaining sessions, and Eastern is 3–5pm on October 27, then 2–4pm for the rest. Cost: sliding scale Details and registration: https://www.clearskycenter.org/event/healing-love-healing-money-online/

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
