What we do

Roots of Love is a budding community dedicated to personal growth and self healing on all levels: Spiritual, Emotional, Mental, and Physical.
We are currently developing a plan to create a healing center where we practice being fully present in all our moments and live in a way which fosters a healing sanctuary of safety, love, well-being, and mutual support. By integrating meditation and permaculture/restorative agriculture with our daily lives we heal ourselves, our relationships, and the Earth.
Here at Roots of Love we value integrity, responsibility, self sufficiency, emotional intelligence/maturity, and awareness of cognitive distortions and logical fallacies. We also value an environment very low in electromagnetic radiation/electromagnetic fields/radio frequency (EMR/EMF/RF).
Our goals include
* researching, applying, and teaching skills of overall Wellbeing.
* advancing our surrounding communities’ access to healthful, local, organic food
* Increasing education and consciousness encompassing social issues that can be healed through proper nutrition, mindful body practices, and fostering a more supportive, interconnected, contributory community.

Our Mission

We are regularly exploring these 2 questions: “What does Healing mean to you?” & “How can we move beyond our conditioning and step into our best selves?”

Cohousing ABQ: Life is better together. We're moving in during 2026. Last homes available!

We’ve broken ground on a multigenerational cohousing community along the Rio Grande River in Albuquerque, NM! Our community features 25 beautiful, energy-efficient homes clustered around a shared open space, with a fully equipped common house and a range of community amenities. A few last homes are still available — please refer to our website for up-to-date availability. These homes will be move-in ready in the summer/fall of 2026. Or you might be interested in our Wait Pool for unit sizes no longer available. Click here to watch a video of our cohousing community: https://cohousingabq.org/video Our land is on a quiet road with lots of families and kids. The neighborhood’s agricultural roots give it a rural feel, but the center of town is just a 3-minute drive away. Our community plans include play areas for kids, a shared farming area, a year-round greenhouse, an orchard, a workshop and electric vehicle charging. We are diverse in age, background and identity, representing a mix of families with children, couples and singles. We range in age from 2 to 82, and there are 13 kids in our community so far. We have created a fun, caring culture among our group, regularly getting together for meals, camping trips and play dates by the river, in addition to collaborating on our community plans and supporting one another through life’s ups and downs. In Albuquerque, there’s lots to keep us busy, from museums and galleries to nationally recognized wineries and breweries. With 310 sunny days per year, you can often find us outside—hiking, biking or skiing, or exploring the mountains, parks and historic sites all around the region. The Rio Grande that flows through the city center is a playground for kayakers, and miles of walking and cycling trails wind through its wooded banks. Reach out to us or join an upcoming Meet & Greet to learn more about becoming a part of our community! Email: neig
