Forming Formed: 2001 Established: 2002
Nanjemoy Community
Nanjemoy, Maryland,
United States
 We are forming a community (starting in one large house) in Maryland, south of Washington DC. Here we live on 50 acres of deeply forested land upon the beautiful Nanjemoy Creek, a wide tidal waterway, teaming with eagles and herons, flowing into the lower Potomac River.
Our proximity to Washington DC makes it fairly easy to connect with the economic, social, and cultural life of that city. But we are very rural, and the history, the land, and the people of this area provide a wonderful setting to start our community.
Our broad purpose is to provide a healthy, prosperous home for our members, to be at peace with nature, a loving community, and to provide service to the greater community in which we live.
We are interested in having full, rich lives. We practice democratic decision making, economic sharing, non-violence, and cooperation. We garden organically, eat wonderfully, recycle what we can, and retrofit our house with greater energy efficient technologies. We practice some amount of income sharing.
We are seeking housemates/members who are inspired by healthy low-impact lifestyles , community service and group living. Children, families, single folks, pets... all are welcome at this time.
If interested contact Robyn at 301-246-4883; robyn08@dcphp.com.
