About the Community

What we do

We’re a warm, social household living in a beautiful, spacious home with a pool and theatre room. It’s just myself, my husband, and my father-in-law, and we’ve created a home that’s full of music, laughter, and a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere.

 

We’re looking for a kind, grounded single woman to join us in a unique living arrangement that feels more like chosen family than a typical roommate setup. We travel often for work, and with my father-in-law recently widowed, I’ve been managing the home largely on my own — which can be a lot alongside a full-time career and busy life.

 

What we’re hoping for is someone who naturally takes pride in their space, keeps things clean and tidy without being asked, and is happy to help out with day-to-day household tasks. We’re not rigid or routine-based — just looking for someone who shares a similar standard of cleanliness and who would treat the home with the same care they would their own. It’s really about having someone who fits in naturally and lightens the load a bit.

 

In exchange for free accommodation, we ask for a genuine contribution to keeping the home running smoothly and a bit of companionship and support around the house, particularly with my father-in-law. It’s not formal care — just a presence and a helping hand here and there.

 

We’re a loving, laid-back home with traditional values when it comes to caring for one another and the space we share. If you’re someone who’s clean, easygoing, and looking to be part of something warm and supportive, we’d love to hear from you.

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!
