What we do

We are working with design/engineering and our conceptual site plan on this south-facing site in the Berkshires, MA is on the website under “Our Site”.
We are designing for 35 homes. Solar PV and solar hot water energy systems will be incorporated into the design.
The Land Is Free. You own it.
Community members choose the floor plan and exterior design.
Homes will range from 850 sf to 1650 sf depending on wants and needs.
Common house will be 4000-4500 sf (3 levels).
General consensus thus far is single-floor living with open floor plan all though all homes will have a full size basement.
I do have an escrow agreement for the initial deposit to become a member.
First in get to choose where they live on site.

Working Effectively with Three Kinds of Community Conflict -- What You Can Do

Seven-week online workshop January 17 – February 28, 2026 Most conflicts in intentional communities and other member-led groups look like simple interpersonal conflict. But intentional community researcher, author, and consultant Diana Leafe Christian identifies three different sources of conflict — not only simple interpersonal conflict, but also what she identifies as “structural conflict” in her book Creating a Life Together, as well as the conflict arising from what she calls “especially challenging behaviors.” In this workshop you’ll learn practical, workable solutions successful communities have used to resolve or contain each type of conflict. This workshop is for people in communities (or members of food co-ops, activist groups, and so on) who may have felt confused, baffled, or even hopeless about ongoing conflict in their group and seek grounded, field-tested solutions. There are things you can do! Click here for more information and to register.

Communities with Openings

T.O.N.E. - A new era is dawning – it's time for frequency, energy, and love.

T.O.N.E. is a visionary digital ecosystem designed for conscious and spiritual communities, fostering resonance, connection, and collective awakening. Through a mobile-first, frequency-driven interface, it features pulsating sacred geometry, a cosmic QR-code portal, and time-synced rituals to unite soul families. Built with minimalist technology (HTML5, TailwindCSS), T.O.N.E. emphasizes energetic UX, inviting users to co-create a global network of healing, intention, and transformative business and something that is not of this world. I work with AI, VR, AR, AGT, BCI, Plant Medicine and Technology. I have over 22 years of experience in international marketing and sales. I successfully ran my own social media agency for over 10 years and sold it at the end of 2022. Now I travel from place to place connecting like-minded people and bringing great things into the world together. If you feel like it, feel free to get in touch.
