-functioning as a Private Membership Association
to enhance our optimal well being
Dear Community Members,
Welcome to our community, a place where we come together like family to embrace a simple and natural way of living, while we explore transformative practices and techniques to heal the body, mind, soul, and spirit. Our community is centered around the values of love, acceptance, and open communication. We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for all members to live, learn, heal and grow together, while we explore our healing journeys.
Physical Characteristics:
Our community boasts 3 pleasant seasons, nestled among mature trees, perfect for enjoying outdoor living. We are fortunate to have access to beautiful nature, with trees, gardens, and gurgling water in wet season. Our developing spaces will be simple and natural, with outdoor showers to connect us to the earth. Our outdoor kitchen allows us to enjoy cooking and sharing meals together. We also will have a large, chemical-free hot tub for relaxation. Our community will have spaces free of pesky bugs and mosquitoes, allowing us to fully embrace outdoor living. We are planning private therapy spaces, tiny house living and a sacred space for individual and group activities. Additionally, we will have workshop spaces for learning and creating together, and various community hangout spaces, both covered and under the stars. And a fire ring for gatherings and storytelling!
Community Characteristics:
At the core of our community is the belief in unconditional acceptance. We strive to create a loving, honest and nonviolent environment where everyone is treated with kindness and respect. We encourage exploring alternate, nonverbal forms of communication and value touch positivity with true consent. Our community strives to embraces a healthy and positive attitude towards all things naturally human, and we honor consensual non-consensual relationships. We believe in communicating our true thoughts and feelings with kindness and honoring our inner truth in the moment. We also recognize the importance of being human and encourage each other to explore and release societal taboos. At times, we come together to share all human experiences collectively, whether through verbal discussions or experiential activities.
As a member of our community, you are expected to uphold these values and contribute to creating a harmonious, supportive, addictive substance free environment. We believe that everyone has something unique to offer, and we encourage each member to share their skills, talents, and knowledge with the community.
Community Guidelines:
Respect each other's privacy and personal boundaries.
Always obtain consent before engaging in any physical contact.
Communicate openly and kindly, without judgment or criticism.
Be respectful of nature and our living spaces.
Contribute to the upkeep of our community and participate in communal tasks.
