What we do

More description to come, but this community will grow itself around a Hemp and Cannabis farm. We plan on becoming as close to self-sustaining as quickly as possible. We will be farming as many of our own fruits and vegetables as possible. We will have a chicken coop and possibly a rabbit farm, as well as a few other farm animals and eventually horses. We’re hoping to find land with a creek and/or lake on the property, but we will have our own water, as well as solar and wind power to help us get as close to off-grid status as possible, while still maintaining a modern standard of living.

Our community will likely use technology and cryptocurrencies as part of our overall financial development and stability. I have a fair amount of personal research and investment in this project, but I’m looking for founding members who are motivated to make this dream a reality.

Our Vision

The foundation of our community is based upon the same fundamental rule that underlies every major world religion, the so-called “Golden Rule;” Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The main teachings of nearly every religion is exactly the same, yet we all focus on the differences. If we can take the core messages and realize that the rest are stories and parables meant to help guide us along our path, not to be taken as the end-all be-all truth, then maybe we can start to unite the planet. We in this community believe, much like the Zoroastrians once did, that we need to be tolerant of ALL belief systems because judgement rests upon one’s actions, not their beliefs; and we are not the one to judge.

We share a number of Humanist views and strive to:

1) Seek to bring out the best in ourselves and others, and believe in our own ability to affect a positive change in the world
2) Pursue honesty and truth in all of our exchanges; and be wary of allowing power, status, or possessions to substitute for moral courage, dignity, and goodness
3) Be Positive and constructive rather than negative and disrespectful
4) Be healthy by balancing work, rest, and play within our lives and the whole community
5) Show respect to all members of our family and community
6) Never speak lies about others
7) Allow nice things others have to inspire us rather than foster negative feelings
8) Never intentionally cause harm to another being
9) Respect others and their possessions as their own
10) Respect the bond of your husband, wife, or partner, and don’t betray their trust

We believe that all people are created equal, regardless of race, sex, gender, religion, beliefs, sexual orientation, or any other physical or psychological differences. This means that everyone has an equal right to live their life in the way they see fit, as long as doing so does not bring harm upon others.

Together we can be a shining example to the world; a beacon of hope, exemplifying the positive ideals that are essential to living in harmony with the rest of the planet. As Edgar Cayce said, “Religion and science, philosophy and psychology, the truths discovered by the ancients as well as moderns, will be equally welcome here…All truth will be used so far as it may be applicable to the betterment of human life.” We will bring this together in an attempt to integrate human knowledge and further spur on human progress.

Join us in the mountains of Western North Carolina

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) resources.” We affirm the need for a work/life balance, the right to a healthy environment and healthy food, and healthy community relationships supporting a diverse population. It is our responsibility as engineers of a new generation to make the changes that we want to see happen and pass this on to the next generations. We can’t wait for someone else to do this important work. Voluntary Simplicity is a quiet revolution that can change the world. As one person said, “we must be poets of our own lives and of a new generation.” We hope you will join us here at Coweeta or elsewhere on our journey to a healthier and more sustainable future! Temporary housing is available in a 27 foot trailer trailer with attached deck next to a creek while we build additional housing. Your basic living expenses (shelter, basic food items, power and water) are met through our market garden or other fundraising projects that you will participate in. You are expected to contribute a given amount of your time and energy to help grow our community and meet our financial obligations. Possible future plans include establishing a retreat center for healing our earth and each other. Work includes organic gardening, construction projects and other community building activities. Come join Coweeta and learn how to live lightly on the land and enjoy the Earth’s bounty!
