A field of co-weaving in Northern Maine. Mama Moose is the provisional name for a forming community near Van Buren, Maine. We steward 57 acres of spruce, loam, pond, mixed woods, and brook. We are two humans (ages 57 & 71) seeking 2-4 others to join us in living and stewarding this land for at least one season. This is not a retreat, but a threshold: a relational experiment in Earth-aligned rhythms and shared becoming. The name Mama Moose holds tenderness, fierceness, and humor, but the true name will emerge through co-stewardship. If you feel a resonance, please visit our site and respond to the questionnaire.
Mama Moose is a land-based relational experiment rooted in co-stewardship, Earth alignment, and the shared experience of what’s beyond systems collapse. We are tending a field. Our mission is to weave new/old ways of being with land, each other, and the unknown, outside the scripts we’ve inherited. This includes practicing mutual care, welcoming conflict, rupture and repair, honoring the more-than-human world, and living at a pace that remembers the winters.
Our process is slow, relational, and mutual. We begin with conversation. If you feel resonance with our invitation, we ask that you: 1. Read through our website, especially the land page and questionnaire 2. Send us your responses-honestly, creatively, or however feels real for you 3. Engage in a few rounds of dialogue (Zoom, phone, or voice memo) 4. If it feels aligned, we’ll explore a short-term visit or trial stay (1-4 weeks) 5. From there, we’ll discern together whether longer-term co-weaving is the next step This is about listening, together, for whether we are called into shared becoming.
