Earth spirituality community now forming on 38 acres of forest and field off the grid near Ithaca, NY. Looking for a handful of good friends to co-create a community striving for sustainable self sufficiency, and a shared reverence for the earth that is our only home. We gather in ceremonies to give gratitude to the elements that sustain us: Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

There is presently work shop and seasonal living space for one or two more people but more more space is under construction. Member of Sustainable Tompkins network. For information (607) 564-9406.
