Description
Greetings friends,
Thank you for reading this. I am Jesse and my girlfriend is Alyssa. We are looking forward to exploring opportunities to collaborate for the highest good for all.
We enjoy hosting amazing humans, such as yourself, who may find Joy in these possibilities:
- A deep connection with nature balanced with access to creature comforts
~ Winding down through stillness and spiritual practice as the sun sets
~ Enjoying a wonderful night's sleep and rising with the sun
~ Engaging individually and collectively in practices and modalities including meditation, yoga, and more
~ A space free of smoking, alcohol, drugs, and mind altering substances
~ Engaging with collaborative community in a variety of ways including through heartfelt communication practices
~ Space for solitude and individual flow
~ Being of service: helping each other, our larger community, and all that is because it in turn benefits us in infinite ways
- Opportunities to connect and collaborate here together during stays of up to two weeks
We are grateful for opportunities to host guests who already have their Visa, guests who are able to acquire one on their own, or those who don't need one. We look forward to hearing from you and hope that this moment finds you well. 😊
We live in the beautiful mountains and community of Black Mountain, North Carolina. Our home is located within a beautiful natural setting offering kind neighbors, quiet, mountain views, trails, creeks, and more. At the same time we are 3-5 minutes from downtown Black Mountain and all that it has to offer. We are located 20 minutes from central Asheville. This is a beautiful area with many opportunities to enjoy connecting with nature, good people, fun, and new experiences. Alyssa and I enjoy many opportunities to co-create community including building and participating in intentional community. Feel free to learn more about intentional community via the website for the Foundation for Intentional Community at ic.org. We also greatly enjoy hosting wonderful humans such as yourself on our property. Cultural exchange is something that we cherish as we delight in opportunities to learn about the lives, passions, and cultures of others whether they are from around the corner or around the world. We are grateful for a strong sense of community in our lives and are looking forward to welcoming you into our community. We find deep connection and heartfelt joy through meditation, yoga, the great outdoors, and living a life that brings joy to ourselves and others. We have a beloved and calm cat named Clover. She is a gift in our lives
