    Descripción

    We are members of a community project located south of qathet (Powell River), BC. We have been working together since 2015 and on our site since the beginning of 2019. In total we have built 6 natural homes.

    Our community is a multi-generational group that lives together on a beautiful 42 acre property. There is a beautiful year-round river with swimming holes along one border, a creek & 3 ponds. We presently have 6 families living on site - ages from 2 to 77. The community uses sociocracy for our governance and organization. We hold meetings to run everything here which you are welcome to sit in on.

    This summer (2024) we are completing final clay plastering on the exterior of 2 homes. We are looking for people who could help and learn more about clay house construction. We are looking for help in June, July and August.

    Feel free to reach out! You may hear back from either Lana or Elizabeth.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    Learning about group communication and decision making - our governance model of Sociocracy has been used here for 7+ years and is a great model to witness and learn from. You may attend meetings and see it in action first hand.

    We live in a rural setting about 20 minutes away from the city of Powell River. We have beautiful grounds, with lots of water around for hot days! There is a gorgeous ocean beach about a 10 minute walk away (along a forest path). And we have a beach by the river that often has hammocks around it for our really hot days.

    English is our spoken language, and there are folks here who speak French, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Russian.

    The final coat of plaster involves mixing clay slip, then making the plaster (mixing with cellulose and sand), and applying to the walls.

    Cats are indoor only. Dogs must be on leash in homestead areas and there are many off-leash trails on the land as well.
