Description
We are a new intentional community (ask us for the website) and we have purchased 13 acres in the Mark Twain National Forest in Southern Missouri where we have been building a new intentional community! This property is literally heaven on earth and comes with a spring fed creek!!! Drink the healthiest water on earth right here!
It is basically raw land and SUPER wild... in the sticks! It has a shared community space surrounded by privately owned parcels... with the shared community space focused on zero devices, no phones/screens of any kind, musicians/artist creative space and whole foods! This is wilderness at it's finest with nothing out there but TREES :) So we are talking about no electricity, no septic, no nada! We DO now have an outdoor rustic kitchen with all your basics, rain water collection for washing up, compost toilets, a tiny office space with WIFI (when it's sunny).... But if you don't love camping and you don't like being in the sticks then this place isn't for you!
We are looking for ALL sorts of work exchangers, families with kids, single people with build skills, people with cooking abilities, helpers of any sorts... people with zero skills!!! just come and we will find something for you to do! We really need people who are willing to clear paths, make burn piles and that sort of thing :)
about a mile away is a shared creek swimming beach... super magical!!!
Please message us if you're interested!!! -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I think for someone who is interested in community building, in homesteading, in wilderness survival, prepper stuff and more.... really seeing how RAW land goes from being raw to setting up everything.... rain water catchment, gardens, kitchen systems, digging out the pool for the spring fed creek to fill it up, creating the perfect heaven on earth right here!!!
come and learn about these things below.... and especially if you want ideas about how to start your own community, no better way than to see how it's done!
Solar Power
Rain Water Collection
Permaculture
Sustainable Appliances
Cob Oven
Composting Toilets
Grey-water re-use system
Food system integration
Passive Solar Hot Water

Accommodation
Camping!!! there are so many magical spots to pitch a tent and we can lend you one if you don't have... you can camp by everything near the road or hike out to the spring and have a quiet secluded wilderness spot there....
The food here is just basic stuff, but plenty of it! We don't eat all the meals together but some dinners, mostly everyones on their own for breakfast and lunches... plenty of rice and beans and pasta and that sort of thing and then if you know how to forage mushrooms... you'll be good :) -
What else ...
I'm a world traveler and consider myself a world citizen as I was born in Eastern Europe and grew up in South Africa and now I'm here in the States! I truly think of myself as someone who seizes the moment or the day and I've been planning to build a house for so many years so this is a very special project to me and connects so deeply to my soul and spirit. I think my blood and body will be pumping with such high energy during this build and I hope you can come share it with me!!!
