A healthy social life is found only when, in the mirror of each soul, the whole community finds its reflection, and when, in the whole community, the virtue of each one is living.

OUR Initiatives
Community-Supported Learning
We hold the belief that each child comes to Earth with her/his own destiny. Just as an acorn contains all it needs to grow into a huge oak tree when given the right environment - sunlight, water, soil - so too do the children come to Earth with all they need to blossom. They just need an environment of nurturing, connection and to be seen. An environment where the adults surrounding the child recognizes their gift and have a willingness to be guided by the child to support his/her journey on this Earth.
What is community-supported learning? For us, it is where the community comes together to provide an environment where the child has agency over him/herself. They are encouraged to be free-spirited and self-directed in their learning. There is an understanding that learning does not need to come inside four walls with an authority figure standing over them, but rather, the adult is there to provide safety and is eager to learn from the children.
Contact us to learn about the programs we have available.
community-supported LAND STEWARDSHIP
The land is Mama Gaia’s body and spirit. It is her gift of health and wealth for us. True food sovereignty is dependent on stewardship of the land. We have been fortunate to have on our board, the Founder of Vital Chain, a soon-to-be launched website/resource for farms and farmers to connect meaningfully with the community. We work with farms that understand biodiversity and farm with intention to regenerate, listening more than manipulating.
What is food sovereignty? For us, it means knowing your farmer. They are in your circle of friends. You know exactly how they grow their food and you weather with them through the ups and downs. Vital Chain will be that resource to find and befriend your local farmer and support them in their work if needed. Currently, we have direct to consumer resources to seasonal produce and pastured, lovingly raised beef, pork, lamb and chickens. Contact us here for more information.
community-supported Health & wellness
First and foremost all members believe in the body's innate ability to heal itself. We also believe that laughter and a well-lived life in community supports optimal health. Within our community, we have a variety of offerings from ecstatic dance to sound baths to life purpose activation workshops and more that are sure to boost the body’s own healing abilities.
Optimal health is very individualized. We are fortunate to have collectively manifested a thriving community of wellness practitioners that can support almost any dis-ease. Become a member today and obtain access to our health and wellness directory.
community-supported kitchens & Apothecary
It all goes hand-in-hand, really. Land Stewardship, Kitchen & Apothecary and Health & Wellness. It all begins with the land. The land provides us with food and our remedies. This community offers direct access to well-prepared foods and remedies, all lovingly prepared by hand for you and your family.
In 2023, we hosted our very first Farm-to-Table dinner featuring five local farms that our self-directed teens worked with during the year; learning about their practices, volunteering their time to work on the land and worked with a chef to create and prepare the menu for the event. This was our first event that will now be an annual event. Contact us here to be added to the invitation list.
We are excited to announce the launch of our CSKA Boxes! Community Supported Kitchen & Apothecary. Let food be thy medicine is now enhanced with products lovingly made from the seasonal plants that desire to support us via our skin and our gut. Just as with CSA Memberships, one payment is made at the beginning of the year and you receive four boxes throughout the year filled with seasonally prepared products: Summer Box - June 14, Fall Box - Sept 20, Winter Box - Dec. 20, Spring Box - March 21.
