About the Community

What we do

If circumstances allow, this will become a great place for two or three devotees, who are frugal, thoughtful, considerate people to live together quietly, cooperatively. There is  small (500 sq ft) house on ~4/10  of an acre, slowly being developed.  There’s also a space for an RV, travel trailer, van,  and an old detached workshop (~14 x 12) which I plan on turning into a living space.

Current resident’s into meditation, living in the NOW, and familiar with these authors/topics: ACIM, Bailey, Besant, Blavatsky, Creme, Krishnamurti, Leadbeater, Roerich, Tolle, and others listed here: www.en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ageless_Wisdom_teachings.

Our Vision

The mission statement/community focus, is to simply live in total peace cooperatively, consciously- like the musketeers – one for all, and all for one – with an emphasis on cultivating awareness of the present moment, energy centers, and keeping the attention high at all times.

Economic scenarios for this community

  • Members need to pay fees, dues, or similar to live there on a per month or per year basis
  • There is a labor obligation

Additional economic information

Monthly fees/dues: Yes (amount not specified)
Labor required: 2 hours/week
Members with pre-existing debt: Yes
We would share the expenses/the bills in a reasonable sensible way that is agreed upon in advance. How many hours of labor are required weekly? I don’t know. It all depends of course on circumstances, but perhaps 3 or more hours per week, which could amount to something like 1) two ~ 30 minute cleaning episodes, and 2) one 1 hour cooking episode, plus 3) two one half hour sessions of pushing the lawnmower, watering trees, flowers or gardening. If someone wanted to help with remodeling or maintenance, that could also fit into the equation – it could be for pay or ‘credit’ applicable to expenses. Consensus always… no bosses…
Partial sharing of income only means that we pool our labor/money to do whatever we chose/agree to do, like pay the bills, maybe finance any updates/ expansions, taxes, & food. Whatever is reasonable, fair & agreeable to all concerned.

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!
