What we do

“Our intentional community is not only dedicated to fostering love, healing, and acceptance, but also to nurturing friendships and providing an environment of growth for all. We believe that meaningful connections and supportive relationships are essential aspects of personal development and community well-being.

In our community, we warmly welcome inclusive families and children, recognizing that they play a vital role in shaping our shared experiences and enriching our community dynamics. We strive to create a space where families of diverse compositions and backgrounds feel embraced and supported, creating an environment that nurtures the growth and well-being of both adults and children.

We value the unique perspectives and contributions that individuals of all ages bring to our community. We offer opportunities for intergenerational connections, mentorship, and learning, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can learn from and support one another.

Join us in co-creating a community that celebrates the joys of friendship, values personal growth, and welcomes inclusive families and children. Together, we can cultivate an environment where lifelong connections are formed, personal journeys are enriched, and all members of our community can thrive.”

The property is 72 acres 30 minutes before Sequoia Kings Canyon National Parks. We operate a private campground, AirBnB tiny cabins, gathering space, indigenous (Lakota) ceremonies/sweats. We are also a wanderlust waypoints location for Skoolie/Vans/RV/Tiny Homes maker/builder/creator space with tool share, that will allow others to come build their homes on wheels and communal shared spaces.
