Skagit Whole Life Community Co-Op
Big Lake, WA, Washington,
United States
 We desire to form an intentional community that is dedicated to living a more complete lifestyle, filled with the riches that are often forgotten in the everyday grind. We'd like to focus on health and wellness, self-sufficiency, sharing each other's burdens, getting back in touch with the land and much, much more.
It's also our dream that the community would act as a center of learning where those around us could come, rest, and take back with them a part of our vision. We'd like to engage the culture around us and challenge the social norms that have proven time and time again to be far more harmful then good.
Some way's we envision this happening would be the establishment of a small library, a health spa, workshops for sustainable agricultural practices, a theatre, a venue to teach natural childbirth, a retreat, etc. Whether people come to us for a day, or two weeks, we'd love for them to walk away healthier, inspired, and loved.
If you're interested, please get a hold of us. No matter where your at emotionally, financially, etc, your contribution could make all of the difference to our little community.
