What we do

We are a group of people interested in intentional community living in Alaska. We have been meeting over the course of 2023 to learn about community living, community structures, successes and failures of other established communities – all in the effort to embark on our own community living journey! We do not have the land yet and are still figuring out the location of community or communities. Some folks are in the Mat-Su Valley, some are in Homer and on the Kenai Peninsula, but majority of people are in the Anchorage area.

Some of us are interested in rural living and growing food sustainably, some are interested in urban lifestyle – we envision multiple groups forming to create what they are most drawn to. Rural or urban, we are very much interested in incorporating sustainable living practices.

Good communication and social skills are extremely important in our visioning process: Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and restorative circles are some of the tools we are learning and incorporating.

If you are in Alaska and would like to join our group on the way to your community living dream, we welcome you! Please reach out to get on our email list and Discord platform app where we do most of our communication.

mini community

laundry on site no smoking off-street parking I am looking for someone (or possibly a couple) with construction skills/basic home knowledge (and likes to garden), who can help me transform my property to be more useful…look up “the self-sufficient backyard” online. My husband an I are both 60 but he is on disability-physical pain issues and legally blind the past 4 years. We have an 18 tear old nonverbal DS son, and are both Christians. We need someone who is low-key, has references, a solid work ethic and transportation…excess belongings will require storage. The house is old and needs to have a few issues fixed. There is a room available while a tiny house/livable shed you would build to stay in is done but you would have use of the house kitchen and bathroom. I will want to add more small buildings (as can fit) and greenhouses to share produce with each other, the town and for sale. I would be paying for the materials of coarse but I want to be frugal and look for stuff at re-use it centers and design to best usage. The town is within 30-40 minutes of Salina/McPherson/Hutchinson that have more employment opportunities if you are someone from out of the area. I will explain more details to a seriously interested party. This is for someone who needs to cut expenses and/or use his or her skills to barter for a place to live, possibly some food, and nothing else, (like anything sexual)…I found I needed to make that clear! Other options can be discussed such as co-ownership or???.
