We are building and modeling a sustainable shared space in East Lawrence by creating an examined, loving, & cooperative home. We are converting an old mixed-use residential/ commercial building into a demonstration site for compassionate intimacy, appropriate technologies, radical methods of intensive food production, urban permaculture, sustainable personal relationships, pro-dignity & anti-oppression social justice organizing.
We currently have 4 bedrooms in our intentional community and are working on building more. Nick and Shannon are the co-founders with a vision to have the space collectively owned by more committed individuals when a fit is found. (There is a membership process for folks wanting to move beyond renting.) Jillian is a long-term resident currently traveling abroad. We have one opening for a new resident- check out the Live Here page!
Together,
We are building an urban homestead, a learning laboratory, and community resource.
We strive to embody justice in our actions from personal to global.
We challenge systemic oppression and its vested interests.
We ground ourselves in developing our capacities for intimacy, cooperation, and growth.
We collaborate on projects to cultivate dignity in life and self-determined community.
We work within the limits and gifts of nature.
We celebrate.
