Mission and Values

Vision

A small intentional community of friends and families living light on the earth in a forest sanctuary, connected body-heart-mind-soul, in harmony with each other, nature and spirit.

Our purpose

is to model a low impact, affordable lifestyle that respects and protects Mother Earth now and for the future through community living, voluntary simplicity, and our eco-retreat center for guests.

Values

sword fern--what a shape!

  • We believe that the earth is sacred and that connection through music, dance, ceremony, prayer, and time outdoors are essential for personal and community health.
  • We practice consensus for decision making, rotating leadership and a non-hierarchical organizational model where every voice is valued.
  • We are committed to creating peace in our world through personal accountability, conflict resolution, reconciliation and forgiveness.
  • We strive to minimize our impact and keep our air, land and waters clean.
  • We value feminine wisdom and masculine wisdom equally, striving to bring balance back to our personal and collective worlds in this regard.
  • We respect a diversity of spiritual paths and the many names of God/Goddess/Great Spirit.
