What we do

We are a small community living together on land that was used as an indigenous retreat center for over 30 years. History on this land runs deep, with important indigenous elders from all over the world coming and blessing this space in previous decades. We have a large medicine wheel, over 60 acres, host sweat lodge monthly, and hold gatherings to promote healing, earth recovery, and self growth. We have many goals and limited hands to help. We’re seeking to grow our community with like minded individuals. We share many things including meals, music, tears, laughs, and joy. We all get along great and experience little to no drama. We have several housing options available.. all which need sweat equity to make them great again.

Our Vision

We focus on self healing, promoting eco friendly practices, and embarking on a journey of never ending learning.

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???.
