Hi All, I’m looking for 4 aligned people who’d love to live in a beautiful area of Colorado Springs beginning Sep 1st or thereafter. This will be a rent based, conscious collaborative home who’s members value building a vision together and will enthusiastically pour their energies into the space with the knowledge that creating something together requires an equal balance of give/receive. The monetary balance is 1k per month, per room, utilities included. As we evolve, there will be opportunity to offset rent with income streams created with the house and gardens. This is for the ones who are not afraid of the work involved to create a harmonious team , accountability, openness, transparency. There will be issues and we will address them out in the open, rather than let things get buried. I’ve been an intuitive coach/guide/energy healer for over 13 years and have methods to bring people into balance . Prepare to be seen in glorious ways and in uncomfortable ways. It is imperative now that we create communities which the ego cannot sabotage and I look forward to being in the position of energy guide for the house. The home itself is situated on one of the quietest, most peaceful streets in the Springs with no through traffic and established homes and trees mostly from the 60’s. It backs up to land trust of 55 acres and plans are being developed to grow food starting mid August. It has a perfect , sloping, east facing garden area for terracing. The long term project will include an orchard, bees and chickens using radical methods, another one of the specialties I can guide. We welcome all kinds of idea-strong people with the experience to back it up. There is 4500 sq ft with multiple common areas, an indoor sauna and outdoor hot tub. Multiple decks with wildlife views , a garage and a workshop for creating and storage. At this time, we invite singles with no pets as the founders. First step is an email to explain why you would be a good fit for the home with photos and a video call to follow. Thank you for reading. Looking forward to engaging. catchplane@yahoo.com

This Enchanted Hidden Hollow does not have the script written yet. It is a STAGE with a set built on it, ready for someone to get to write their own script. The stage is this: 2.5 acres in the country in the Wine Country Dundee Hills of Oregon. But unlike many rural settings, it is just 1-2 miles from two charming small towns (Dundee and Newberg–with restaurants, live music, art, and culture) and just 22 miles from Portland, 52 miles to the Oregon Coast, 99 miles to Mt. Hood. The land itself has a 4-level Treehouse (we rented it out on Airbnb for $290/night for over a year). It has a recently completely remodeled house and a newly renovated Studio space. There’s a wild canyon with hillsides perfect for hobbit houses, and with a year-round creek with many trees for potentially more treehouses. There’s a barn with a workshop used for woodworking. There are multiple established garden beds, firepit areas for gatherings, and a unique farm stand for selling veggies, flowers, art, woodwork. It has a conventional well, plus another hand dug well. And it has a septic system–so it is already mostly off-grid. We have hosted many small healing retreats here–so it’s got that magical, enchanted vibe. So the stage is set. And much of the “scenery” for the stage is built. It’s ready for YOU to write the ‘PLAY’ you want to live. Small community. Small retreat host. It’s up to you. We are feeling called to the nomadic life for the next stage of our lives, like traveling gypsies or the FOOLs in the Tarot. We have loved creating this space, working with all the portals that are naturally here, and opening up others that had been neglected. One option would be for us to “release” (sell) this completely to someone or group who is wanting to carry out a vision for it. And as difficult as it would be to walk away, if we left it in the right hands, we could feel right about doing this. Another option would be to partner with another couple or group and continue playing a small role in caretaking of the place, allowing us to embark on our FOOL’s nomadic phase of life. Perhaps a shared TRUST, or a lease. We are open to options, so long as the place continues to be a magical portal cared for by wise, loving and visionary caretakers.

La Querencia is an established, multigenerational cohousing community in northeast Fresno, California. We are a small neighborhood of 28 privately owned homes built around, a large common house, gardens, play areas, a pool, workshop, gym, and other shared spaces. At La Querencia, people have their own private homes, but we also make room for real neighborliness. We share meals, work together on community projects, care for our shared spaces, celebrate holidays and birthdays, and help each other in ordinary ways — watching out for kids, lending tools, giving rides, bringing food when someone is sick, or stopping to talk along the path. We are not a commune, retreat center, or utopian project. We are a real neighborhood, with real people, real responsibilities, and all the normal ups and downs of living in community. What makes us different is that we intentionally choose to know our neighbors and participate in shaping the place we live. Our community includes children, families, single adults, couples, retirees, working people, creatives, teachers, professionals, and people in many stages of life. Kids have other kids nearby to play with, and adults (and kids) have the chance to build friendships across generations. La Querencia is primarily self-managed. Residents serve on teams and committees, help with maintenance and decision-making, and participate in the ongoing work of keeping the community healthy. Participation matters here. We are looking for people who want not just a home, but a community they are willing to be part of. At the same time, privacy is important. Each household has its own private space, and people participate in different ways depending on their capacity, season of life, and interests. The goal is not to be busy all the time; it is to live near people who care about one another and are willing to contribute. We are located in an established part of northeast Fresno, near schools, parks, shopping, trails, and everyday conveniences. Fresno also offers access to local food, arts, universities, and outdoor recreation, with the Sierra Nevada and several national parks within reach for day trips. The best way to understand La Querencia is to visit, walk the paths, see the common house and gardens, meet some neighbors, and get a feel for daily life here. We welcome people who are curious about cohousing, intentional community, shared responsibility, and a more connected way of living.

Escape into Presence is a small, evolving creative living space in the hills near Niš, Serbia. Created over eight years, this place is slowly becoming an intentional community for people who value simplicity, creativity, nature, and meaningful connection. The house is surrounded by forest, yet only 20 minutes by bus from the city of Niš. It is a place for remote workers, writers, artists, musicians, yoga practitioners, holistic practitioners, and people following their own creative or spiritual path. There is no rent. We share basic household costs together. The space is still developing and intentionally keeps its handmade character. You will find hand-painted walls, unique wooden details, handmade lamps, wabi sabi and japandi influences, and many layers of personal creativity collected through the years. Five cats live here, all born on the property, so a genuine love and respect for animals is essential. This is not a finished retreat center or a polished commercial space. It is a living project, a home in progress, created with care and intention. We welcome people who enjoy quiet surroundings, creative projects, personal growth, nature, and authentic human connection.

The vision is to slowly grow a small community of like-minded people who support each other’s journeys while respecting personal space and independence.
We have been building a sustainable housing intentional community from the ground up after starting through the Universidad Sin Fronteras/ University Without Walls classes and a Peoples Movement Assembly in Florida guided under the direction of the Southern Movement Assembly (SMA) Our story started with 10 black women mostly mothers, our children and our community. We are proud to be planning for our seventh generations. “As long as the Sun Suns, Water Flows, and the Grass Grows. “

There are two ways into Greece’s first community-led cohousing network: a new-build mountain-foothills village in the Peloponnese, or an adaptive-reuse project where you help choose the property itself. Both are shaped by the vision and values of the people who will live there. PATH ONE: TAYGETE COHOUSING VILLAGE — NEW-BUILD, PELOPONNESE A mountain agrihood at the foot of the majestic Taygetus Mountains, inspired by the UNESCO village of Monemvasia — pristine national forest and hiking, olive groves, a vineyard, farm, surrounded by mountain villages and close to extraordinary beaches. Common House with a full coworking suite, incredible kitchen for indoor/outdoor dining, workout room and lounge with fireplace. Includes a pool, gardens, soccer field, and village plateia. Adjacent to a luxury wellness resort with a spa and farm-to-table restaurants now being built. 2.5 hours from Athens International Airport, 20 min. drive to a vibrant town with nightly filled tavernas and a new hospital, 25 min. drive to beaches and charming fishing villages. Project Advantage: This project does not require the group to take out a collective construction loan — a rare, significant risk reduction most forming cohousing projects can’t offer. This project also provides the opportunity for a Golden Visa for permanent residency in Greece, with the advantages of European healthcare, access to universities, and Schengen business and travel. Stage of Development: Site Selection Completed. Feasibility studies completed. Development Partner Selection Completed. Collaborative Site and Village Design Process Completed. Finance Plan Completed. Architectural and Environmental Studies have been completed and are in the modification process. A current building permit exists and is undergoing modification. Once the permit modification process is complete, member investment opportunities will open. Utility infrastructure excavation is underway, and only 12 of 36 households need to move forward with the next construction phase. Homes: 36 total — 1, 2, and 3-bedroom private residences. A small number of part-time (6-month) homes and co-living options also exist, each room with its own bath and balcony. Prices include land share, home, Common House, infrastructure, and amenities: from €400,000–€800,000. Common House has 7 guest rooms. PATH TWO: ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECT — RETROFIT | REGENERATION | RENOVATION A seed group is forming to explore the many adaptive reuse and regenerative property opportunities. Who thrives here:People serious about moving abroad and building a multinational community — not just cohousing-curious, but ready for the real work of co-creating something bigger than themselves. Values: community service, sustainability, inclusivity, shared governance, lifelong learning, and respect for Hellenic tradition. Diverse nationalities, diverse ideologies, diverse religions and spiritual practices, diverse languages (although English is our common language), diverse cultures. This community does not run a common business or share income. First step: Go to our website and book an Information Coffee. Become an Explorer Member, immerse in our process, receive orientation and intro to sociocracy, and decide which path — or whether either — is right for you. Support System: Evi Gerou (Pare) is the founder of the Greek Village Cohousing Incubation Hub, which originated both projects and stewards their foundation. Evi is a former refugee law attorney who fell in love with cohousing after 5 years living in Touchstone Cohousing. Greek Village Cohousing has nurtured a network of professionals supporting the move from vision to reality — our Developer and other development-related professionals are listed on our website, along with sample member bios, and separate “transition to Greece” professionals from our network are available to all full members for a more fully supported move to Greece.

What makes this path different: Greece offers a rare supply of ready-made raw material for this kind of project — hotels built like villages, luxury estates perfect for a ready-made Common House and for siting prefabricated homes nearby, and semi-completed construction projects available for purchase. The possibilities here are genuinely fertile for group purchase and adaptive reuse.
A small founding group will help choose the property and location, evaluating each option through a cohousing design lens. This is a lower-cost, faster-moving path than a ground-up build, with a target budget of approximately €200,000–€450,000 per household.
Where we are:The group is shaping collective criteria for the right property, alongside property review, professional consultation, community formation, and preliminary feasibility work. Explorer Members engage directly with the search itself — visiting locations under serious consideration during site tours and discerning together as a cohort. See our site tour page for dates.
Our community in Missouri is a network of nomadic living, deeply connected through eco villages and interwoven by visits to one another, inspiring people to embark on their land projects and fostering cooperation, collaboration, and sharing. At Emberfield Heart Collective Ecovillage, we are driven by a shared commitment to intergenerational progress. Our vision is twofold: to provide a lasting home for our members and to serve as a living testament to intentional communities. We stand as an alternative way of life, demonstrating the art of off-grid living and educating through the experience of community living. Our core values revolve around consensus, parenting, education, birth, child care, body autonomy, homesteading, activism, and conflict resolution through compassionate communication. We believe in expressing our ideas through the mediums of living life sustainably, art, performance, theater, and music. Here, we unite around common desires: Sustainable Food: We prioritize food grown without chemical fertilizers, ensuring our meals are as natural as the world around us. Pure Water: We cherish water that’s free from pollutants, chemicals, and toxins, nurturing our bodies and the earth. Natural Structures: Our homes are constructed using locally sourced, rescued, and reused materials, encouraging outdoor living and sustainability. Community Living: We thrive in close-knit groups while fostering communication, collaboration, cooperation, and sharing with other like-minded communities. Giving and Receiving: We believe in giving willingly and receiving with gratitude, strengthening the bonds that tie us together. Emberfield Heart Collective Ecovillage stands as an inspiration for individuals seeking to unite with friends and form communities. We practice cooperation, collaboration, and sharing while learning to harmonize with nature. Join us on this journey toward a more sustainable and interconnected future. Because this community is made up of so many families and existing communities, membership and visitation is by invitation only. Please read below on how to get involved.

True North Cohousing Community is a forming member-owned intentional community for single, child-free women near Watertown, Wisconsin — part of a tradition of women creating intentional community outside mainstream structures that goes back more than fifty years. We are envisioning two possible models, both on the table as the founding team comes together. The first is a tiny house village on rural Wisconsin land — privately owned homes clustered around shared common space. The second is adaptive reuse of an existing structure — a former Masonic lodge, a vintage motel, or similar — reimagined as clustered private dwellings with common space built in. Wisconsin’s small towns and rural corridors offer both possibilities, and the right land or building will help determine which path we take. Members hold their homes through membership, not through a landlord-tenant relationship with True North. The land is held collectively. Governance follows a sociocracy framework — consent-based, non-hierarchical decision-making with authority distributed to smaller circles for day-to-day management. We’re early-stage and building deliberately: the right people first, then structure and land. Our values: depth over breadth in relationships; presence as a practice; autonomy with accountability; curiosity as a way of being; and care that doesn’t wait to be asked. Membership criteria reflect the identity of this community and the women who choose to live here. If you are a woman who has chosen to center your own life and want to live among others who have made the same choice, we’d like to hear from you More at truenorthcommunity.info.

I am David, Belgian, living on 4 hectares of forested land in central Slovakia, at 400m altitude, in a valley where terraced crops once covered every hillside before farms gave way to cities. I started from nothing: no existing structures, no local network, no prior farming experience. What exists today: 1000+ fruit trees planted, animals, bees, wood heat, rainwater collection, no flush toilet. A productive garden and greenhouse. Everything built or rebuilt with hand tools and salvaged materials. Currently under construction: a walipini greenhouse, an A-frame cabin for long-term residents, a root cellar, and a semi-buried permanent house. Straw & clay constructions. This ambitious project did not begin as a search for community in the conventional sense. It began as a conclusion: the growth trajectory of the last two centuries is physically finished. Resource depletion, net energy decline, soil degradation, biodiversity collapse and demographic pressure are converging constraints that do not negotiate and do not wait. Understanding this should be, by far, the top priority of anyone alive today, because these physical realities already structure our existence whether we are aware of them or not. Most responses to this situation, even well-intentioned ones, try to manage the problem inside the existing framework: greener technology, softer consumption, better policy. This does not work. The existing framework is the problem. Most normal people, well-intentioned or not, ARE the problem. Not able to stop consuming, not able to rearrange their brain, not able to educate their children totally differently, etc. The only coherent response is a fully restructured life: producing your own food, drastically reducing dependence on industrial infrastructure, staying in one place and building something real instead of consuming places one after another, TRAVELLING, enjoying life as much as possible without even knowing that acts do have consequences. I am far from a perfect example of this. I operate inside a system built by and for people going in the opposite direction, under laws that are often outdated and poorly suited to what I am trying to do. What exists here is not a finished model. It is an ongoing, serious attempt, under real constraints, to live in a way that is consistent with what the situation demands. Right now, this is a project of one person, actively looking to grow. First and foremost, I am looking for a life partner: someone to build this with long-term, who finds meaning in daily physical work, honest conversation, seasonal food and genuine quiet. I am also open to long-term volunteers (one month minimum, longer strongly preferred) who have already started to seriously question their own way of life, not simply talk about it. A few things I will not accommodate, without exception: veganism or vegetarianism as a fixed ethical position (I raise and eat animals); any religious or quasi-religious worldview, including wellness-as-religion frameworks such as yoga as spiritual practice, energy healing, astrology or manifestation; identitarian or woke politics, which I consider a distraction from material reality; and intellectual or material dependency, since I am a teacher, not a therapist. I say what I think directly, and expect honesty in return. I believe this directness is, in fact, the most caring position available: treating someone as capable of understanding difficult things and changing accordingly, rather than staying silent to avoid discomfort.

Anastara Acres is a Christ-centered intentional community located on 152 acres of forest, meadows, rivers, and lakes in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta. Our community was founded out of a growing conviction that the Christian life was always meant to be lived in close relationship with God, one another, and His creation. Rather than simply attending church together, we desired to build a community where faith could shape every aspect of daily life. We exist for those who desire to follow Jesus Christ not merely as a personal belief, but as a shared way of life. We believe many of the challenges facing modern society—loneliness, anxiety, division, burnout, and loss of purpose—are symptoms of having drifted away from the relational, communal, and God-centered life for which humanity was created. Life at Anastara Acres is intentionally communal while recognizing that each person has unique gifts, callings, and responsibilities. We believe authentic Christian growth happens not only through Bible study but through the everyday realities of life together—learning humility, practicing forgiveness, serving one another, resolving conflict with grace, celebrating together, grieving together, and encouraging one another to become more like Christ. We are learning to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, to love one another as Christ has loved us, and to steward His creation faithfully. We seek to live out the pattern of the early Church described in the New Testament through discipleship, hospitality, generosity, shared work, shared meals, prayer, worship, mutual encouragement, accountability, and joyful service. Our property serves as both home and ministry. Today, we welcome guests for retreats, extended stays, volunteer opportunities, and times of rest and renewal, offering hospitality and an opportunity to participate in the rhythms of daily community life. We also seek to serve our surrounding communities through practical service, creative endeavors, education, and the diverse gifts and skills entrusted to our members. At the same time, Anastara Acres is very much a growing community. We are actively developing gardens, orchards, agricultural projects, additional living spaces, educational programs, workshops, and other initiatives that will expand our ability to disciple, serve, and welcome others for generations to come. Throughout this work, we seek to steward the land wisely, practice sustainable living, and cultivate practical skills that enable us to care well for both people and God’s creation. Many of us came from successful careers and diverse backgrounds—including health and mental healthcare, education, business, skilled trades, technology, agriculture, and the arts—but found ourselves longing for something deeper than the individualistic pace of modern life. We discovered that following Christ together is both deeply refining and deeply life-giving. Living in close community continually invites us to grow in humility, patience, forgiveness, service, and dependence upon God in ways that are difficult to cultivate in isolation. Anastara Acres is neither a commune built around political ideology nor an isolated escape from society. We are also not a traditional church congregation, although our life is deeply rooted in biblical faith. Instead, we are a covenant community seeking to embody the Kingdom of God together while remaining actively engaged in serving others. We believe healthy community is built upon voluntary commitment, personal responsibility, humility, transparency, mutual accountability, and a shared desire to follow Christ above ourselves. We welcome visitors who are sincerely interested in experiencing community life, participating in its daily rhythms, serving alongside us, and discerning whether this way of living may be part of God’s calling for their lives. Some may come for a short visit, others for an extended stay, and a few may eventually discern a longer-term commitment as homesteaders. Wherever someone is on that journey, we do our best to receive them with open arms, open hearts, and genuine Christian hospitality. We do not believe we have discovered a perfect model of community because no community is made up of perfect people. We are simply imperfect followers of Jesus learning, growing, repenting, forgiving, and walking together toward Him. Our aspiration is not to build something impressive, but to become the kind of people whose lives increasingly reflect the character of Christ and invite others to discover the life He created us to live.

Hello and a warm welcome to Rainbow Family Community! Feel free to access our document here too…https://docs.google.com/document/d/193hVO96vSphlWlUy3xLov5xqPInq-HLbWrjLM2fZ6XA/edit?usp=sharing I started this group because I care about people connecting and having support. Not all of us are able to have Disney versions of family and through no fault of our own have had difficulties with having supportive people in our life. Some of us have toxic family members, no living relatives, raised through the foster care system, have moved and traveled so much that we are far away from our loved ones, and many other reasons for not having access to a healthy and reliable family system. This is a place where we can meet with caring and nurturing people who want to be in a family with you. What we mean by that is we are the kind of people who will call each other for support, we will bring each other soup when we are sick, we will give each other advice when we need it, vent when we’ve had a rough day, we will celebrate together and overall become each other’s support system and village. A healthy, reliable, and caring family is wonderful to have and we believe that everyone should have people they can count on. We are LGBTQ+, queer, transgender, straight, have ethically non-monogamous, traditional, & aeromatic relationships, accepting of having religious beliefs and atheists (provided you are honoring and accepting of all people) We are nomads, locals, and people who love to travel. We honor the vulnerabilities of our youth and adults (who are indeed still youth inside) and help each other out. No one is ever too old to have fun and no one is ever too young to be wise. We believe a solitary life of being overly independent and never needing help and being perfect is hogwash. Togetherness is better and happiness is meaningful when shared. Mistakes, fumbles, and imperfections are what make us wonderfully flawed and human. We value all people, all abilities, all cultures, and respectfully try to understand each other’s differences. We praise generosity over greed, humbleness over arrogance, work-life balance over workaholic culture, and compassion over selfishness. We value the immigrants who come from far away to make good lives for themselves as well as the person who never quite fits into novel society because they are curious and ask too many questions. We honor who we are and choose to be. We don’t judge each other for the lifestyle we choose or may have limited choice over. We acknowledge we all have our own paths, wants, and needs. What we do have in common is that we are available for connection which requires emotional vulnerability & the physicality of being there in presence. What it’s like to be part of this community I envision us knocking on each other’s doors for coffee and conversation. Need a hand with building a table? Want to start a gaming server? You will know people who like those things also and want to be involved. Want someone to go for a walk with, watch the children play at the park, hang out, there for good times and bad. Have some wine over a potluck dinner, dance around a campfire, play volleyball in the summertime, listen and play musical instruments. Attend each other’s gatherings, ceremonies, birthdays, have multi-cultural holiday parties etc. We may host meetups at campsites and plan a travel adventure together. Everyone has a voice, everyone contributes and everyone matters. We like to use collaboration & consensus as well when deciding things as a group, so everyone agrees when something affects us all. There will be different roles available, where someone may be in charge of planning a trip, dinner party, managing the membership fees, a website, newsletter writing etc. We expect adult members to have a willingness to contribute and help build this community. Children, Teenagers, and Young Adults are welcome to contribute as well and we look forward to hearing your ideas! Location If you’re excited by the idea of occasional travel, shared adventures, and building relationships that extend beyond one place, you’ll likely enjoy being part of this community. We also believe physical presence is important, so you should be at least attending some in person events each year. Housing We think housing should be up to you, and while it would be nice to be neighbors who can walk to each other’s houses, we believe an intentional community is more important than living nearby. For that reason we leave the housing decision to you. We are location independent, you don’t have to live nearby to be part of this community. What matters is that you attend gatherings and contribute to building this community. For those who do want to live closer to community members, live in shared housing, have other ideas etc that would be wonderful as well and we can chat more about that too.

Our community is location independent. Rather than being tied to one neighborhood or city, we gather where our members are and where opportunities arise.
When it comes to housing this is something we found hard to find in other communities. Usually people had to buy in and have a substantial amount of money to own a home. Most of the time housing wasn’t even available and rentals were few as well.

I’ve had a dream to start a cohousing/Intentional Community for many years. Now is the time to put my dream into action! I am seeking other freedom minded souls to form a small sovereign self sufficient village in the beautiful North Idaho Coeur d Alene area. What I envision is: Small community of 5-7 households, coed, intergenerational The Sovereign Way Community is an intentional co living/cohousing initiative based in Kootenai County, Idaho. The community aims to provide sustainable, affordable housing for values aligned individuals or families who prioritize freedom, self-reliance, and mutual support. The community will include one common house that offers private room rentals with enough land for 4 or 5 small houses to be built. We aim to have shared common spaces, gardens and opportunities for homesteading education such as canning, food preservation, alternative energy, alternative home building and shared upkeep. Our goal is to create resilient micro-communities that offer financial relief, food security and social connection while contributing to the local housing shortage solution in Kootenai County. We are actively seeking healthy, mature, financially sound individuals or families to join us in community building for a resilient sovereign future in a time of social and environmental uncertainty. Once we have a critical mass of interested people we will start holding organizational meetings to determine our future direction as a group to include creating a vision, mission etc. I’m asking interested parties to have familiarity with Non Violent Communication. I also ask for each aspiring community member, to read “Creating a Life Together”, by Diana Leafe Christian for our forming stage. If our vision resonates with you please reach out via email, lets chat!

Our target move-in is 2027-2028, and we’re looking at Franklin and Hampshire counties in Western Massachusetts
Coastside Cohousing is going to be built on approximately 4 acres of a 14 acre site. We plan to be 36-40 homes. We are having equal number of units that are 2/2 flats, 3/2 flats and 3/2 townhomes with a 4,000 sq ft common house. The units are from 950 sq ft to almost 1500 sq ft. We are committed to being intergenerational and inclusive. We will leave the remaining property of woods and other natural beauty for our community and those homes in the area. Trails don’t exist yet but we hope those will allow everyone to enjoy the upspoiled beauty of the remainder of the property. We are less than 2 miles from the beach and closer to downtown Santa Cruz. We are actively forming and seeking new members.

The Earthsong Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not‑for‑profit and regenerative community dedicated to ecological education and restoration. We protect and steward the ecosystem in our care and invite others to learn and grow with the Earth as our primary teacher and guide. Nā Mele O Ka ‘āina – the songs of the land that nourish us We are guided by the three ethics of permaculture (earth care, people care, share of surplus) as practical touchstones for caring for the land, each other, and the future , not as rigid rules but as living principles that shape our choices and cultivate mutual respect, resilience, and stewardship. Earthsong, in rural Kā‘ū on Hawai‘i Island’s southern tip, sits within easy reach to dramatically different landscapes: verdant rainforests, black and green sand beaches, spring-fed streams, patches of old-growth forest, and rugged volcanic terrain. Kā‘ū’s coastline and interior offer quiet, off-the-beaten-path access to coastal surf, sheltered bays, and secluded shorelines. In a tropical climate with strong microclimates and 8 of the world’s 14 climate zones, the land is an ideal permaculture laboratory with rich volcanic soils, year‑round growing potential, and dynamic landscapes shaped by Kīlauea and Mauna Loa. We honor the cultural and spiritual significance of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes. We recognize her power in creating and transforming the land. There is an abundance of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and medicinal plants growing on the land. We are always discovering new species each time we weave our way through the forest. More seeds have been sprouted and with more hands in the soil planting we can work towards fulfilling all of our food needs. When we have surplus to share, we put our produce, herbal blends, and cuttings on our donation based farm stand. Earthsong Residency offers long-term, intentional-living opportunities for individuals and households who want to live lightly, contribute to a caring community, and support regenerative land stewardship.

We are a recently formed communal house in the village of Trumansburg, New York. We like to cook together, share meals, garden, craft, and generally enjoy each other’s company and we do this in a big, rambling Victorian that our house owner and caretaker enjoys decorating and making cozy for the community. Our structure is pretty simple: we share food and chores and we commit to one meal together every week. Everything else happens organically — if you come downstairs on a weekend morning, someone is often baking bread. If you come home on a Friday evening, someone may be hosting friends in the garden. Everyone is always welcome to join in house activities, planned or impromptu. We have a sweet dog Luke and we welcome housemates of all ages, genders, sexualities, creeds, and species!

We’re having our first group web-based meeting the end of June, 2026. We’ll be forming a vision statement and document, or pursuing forming one. We’ll have a poll to arrive at the best time for most. We’ll have a document that all can edit to arrive at an agenda, and time allotment for the meeting. I’m asking members to have familiarity with NonViolent Communication. Some are just encountering it now, for our group, and some have been practicing for 15 years. Also asked for each community member, is to read Creating a Life Together, by Diana Leafe Christian for our forming stage. I’d like sharing circles every week or two (not manditory, AND: encouraged). Two people in the group so far want to farm. We may need WOOF-ers to manage it, and will look at properties with a house for some community members, and some for WOOF-ers. Some people may wish to live in the house (already on the property we’re looking for), and some – I know of four, of the five adults – have RVs. One family that owns their own RV, may wish to live in the house. So 3 individual units, and a house so far.

PurposeFlow is a regenerative land-based project in rural Portugal weaving ecosystem restoration, conscious community living, and experiential education in a desertyfing Mediterranean climate. Founded and welcoming participants since 2021, the project is actively restoring its land through water retention, soil regeneration, re-vegetation, reforestation and biodiversity work — while hosting co-livers, volunteers, and guests from around the world. To date PurposeFlow has welcomed 850+ participants from 110+ countries through retreats, residencies, volunteer programs, and educational experiences. We are currently transitioning from a fully rotational volunteer model toward a core team structure with distributed leadership, building toward long-term financial viability without compromising the depth of relationship that defines the work. What we live: regeneration as an evolving practice, not a slogan — applied across land, water, food, governance, learning, and human connection. We believe small, rooted, intentional projects can model what regenerative living looks like in real and challenged conditions, and that the work of restoring land and the work of restoring people move together.

I own 5 acres. Ive been here 6 months, as of the time of this listing, and im making it into a community where anyone decent should be able to homestead and make a place for themselves, no charge (rent) Free* room and board. Im homesteading here, entirely off grid. Ive built myself a room, so far, aswell as another double room for storage and guests. I have 3 55 gallon water barrels (water is trucked in), solar panels, deep cycle batteries, and an inverter (for basic electricity) . Septic is currently being handled by taking wastewater to the neighbors place, as one would using an rv dump station, {this is not the end solution and will be remedied soon} and im saving up to install an on-site tank and thanks in advance for being patient and understanding while i work on gathering certain conveniences money could easily buy (most of my money goes to paying for the land). You will be welcome to homestead here, be it rv, camper, tiny house, or whatever is currently available. I would LOVE to have a room pre-available for you, which is why i built the second room (more than 90% of my moneyhas been going into home-improvements), however, i think itd be great if youd help me aquire the next set of 12 4’x8′ plywood boards (300$) and the framework 2x4s and 4x4s (100$) to build the next room : ) Im not here to line my pocket or profit from your stay, but helping the community out by buying some wood to make another room for the /next/ guest, to replace the guestroom the community gives you to take up in, or chiping into my savings for the septic tank would really be a help in pulling ‘the neighborly weight’. Theres no money requirements to be here, no labor requirement from me (but youve got to pull your own weight, help build or bring your own shelter, stuff like that). Feel free to text me to arrange a call time. Active conversation that could lead to residency is certainly welcome.
