3/2 Townhome in Atlanta-Area Co-Housing Community

To Begin… In the past handful of years I have been called to prioritize tending to the health of my relationship with myself and all I come into contact with. This calling is what brings me, over and over, to intentional community. When it first started knocking on my door, my daughter was just beginning high school and the time was not ripe for physically exploring intentional communities until she graduated a year ago. Since then, I have participated in a seasonal permaculture internship at an ecovillage in Oregon and traveled the U.S. with my girlfriend in her retrofitted camper van to get a sense for different bioregions and established communities in the U.S. Now I am writing to you, my friend, in hopes of finding a well-aligned community where I can grow roots, mutually beneficial relationships, and myself as I live life to the fullest. A Bit About Me and My Offerings I see myself as a creative problem-solver, initiator, and someone who naturally holds the whole and integrates the parts. Collaboration, resourcefulness, curiosity, openness, and compassion are all very important to me. And so is a balanced lifestyle. I also see myself as a culinary artist and am interested in growing wholesome food, preparing it with love for the nourishment of all, and preserving it for the future. Additionally, I would love to offer reiki to those with aches and pains, training in sociocracy to those interested in learning about this governance model based on consent decision-making and circular hierarchy (or hierarchy of levels of specificity), and care of elders or youngers where there is mutuality around needs. And lastly, I’d love to further my experience in: seed saving, bee keeping, animal husbandry, natural building, and all that goes into the tending of intimate, authentic, and loving relationships in a residential community setting.

Coweeta Heritage Center/Talking Rock Farm is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Coweeta is located in a beautiful and diverse temperate rain forest. It feels very remote here yet we are just 12 miles from Franklin, NC. Winters can be mild. Coweeta is blessed with springs and a stream, pristine forests, and abundant wildlife. Power is provided by a hydro-electric system which is not connected to the grid. An organic garden and trout pond provide healthy food that is also shared with the local community. Hiking, kayaking, and other outdoor activities are just out the back door. Coweeta is looking for others who would like to join together to form an Intentional Community embracing the principles of Voluntary Simplicity. Simply put (no pun intended): We wish “to live simply so that others may simply live.” It is a recognition that nature provides us with valuable services and resources that we can use to enrich our lives. Utilizing local resources, appropriate technology, and working cooperatively, we can discover creative ways to meet our needs as “directly and simply as possible.”. An example of this, in the tradition of many Indigenous People”, is to gather, and use wildcrafted foods as part of our diet. There is great joy in going to nature’s grocery for our sustenance. Voluntary Simplicity is based on the recognition that “very little is needed to live well” and that “abundance is a state of mind.” Living lower on the economic ladder allows us more time and freedom to pursue other life goals: community and social engagement, family time, artistic or intellectual projects, more fulfilling employment, political participation, sustainable living, spiritual exploration, and more. According to the Voluntary Collective, “The grounding assumption of Voluntary Simplicity is that all human beings have the potential to live meaningful, free, happy and infinitely diverse lives while consuming no more than an equitable share of (the world’s) resource
