What we do

Central Virginia location 40 minutes SE of Charlottesville.Our preferences for the sake of willing alignment:
(We do not presume to tell anyone what they must or must not do and we appreciate that being mutual)

*We are not judeo-christian, pagan or new age based.  We are not religiously oriented.

*We are not politically active in the least.

*We are mask and jab-free.

*We ascribe to and support a lifetime alignment with natal birth.

*We ascribe to and support heterosexual monogamous relationships.

*We are pro 2A for hunting and defense only.  No aggressive firearms use is tolerated.

*We eat meat and butcher our own.

* No pets (no exceptions).

We are a privately owned working off-grid/on-grid hybrid homestead that we like to call an “ecovilla”.  We cannot possibly be an entire ecovillage though that is exactly what we support in having around us. The governance style is “voluntaryism” with all interactions being voluntary and optional at all times.  This also includes key tenets from anarchism to include “Use no force” and

“Do no harm”.  There is no collective governance as we see all of those arrangements as mob rule in some form or fashion.  We adhere to principles of individual liberty, free will, personal responsibility and self governance which could be labeled as true anarchy.

 

We seek to use our free will and dominion in the “intended good ways”.  This is to live closely with the land and the natural order.

 

We do not align ourselves with any mainstream religion but instead focus on basic morality as demonstrated in the Ten Commandments. On a level of human relations, this could perhaps be summed up as do no harm to others and never use force to cause others to act.  We should all be making the world a better place by kindness, sharing and a solutions based lifestyle.

 

We are a family friendly environment and prefer moderate behavior that is a good example to all ages that are watching.  Modesty is the norm without over-the-top strictness.

 

We strive to live a healthy lifestyle as close to the land as possible. We strive to be increasingly self reliant in food, energy, medicine, etc. We seek to be as sustainable as possible while closing the loop on waste of any kind. We implement permaculture principles which is a system based on the natural order

 

Seeking like “minded people” on the following key points.

 

* Anti-establishment – no religion, politics, standard western medicine, public education(indoctrination), fiat use minimized as much as possible

 

* Clean body and environment – no jabs, fear muzzles(masks), no synthetics, no gmo, no wireless devices, no addictions to meds or illicit substances, no smoking, limited alcohol and/or 420, no microwaves, no drama, no proselytizing/forceful dogma/doctrine

 

*Worldview – positive work ethic towards changing the world to a better place, balanced enough in giving/taking to be a net gain to the situation, do no harm and use no force, full personal responsibility, self governance instead of government/mob rule, voluntarism all interactions voluntary, pro 2A for hunting and defensive measures but never for aggression, truth seeking, abide by natural order to include lifetime alignment to natal gender

 

General personality – self aware of personal issues/triggers, capable of effective communication, hard working, kind/patient/gentle/calm by choice, truth oriented enough to be able to consider/discuss ideas/knowledge/positions without personal offense, generous to a balanced degree, inclined to work to make the world a better place, honest always, loyal once it is earned, trusting once it is earned

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!
