The Gathering

Schuyler, Virginia,

United States

An intentional community of spiritual individuals interested in sustainable living, metaphysical explorations & group discussions and interaction.

We share similar beliefs, but the group is not limited to one 'religious' practice or another. We focus on the mystical exploration of God and the higher self through meditation and discussion.

All members share in the chores and such. We are in the process of developing the land and facilities into a more sustainable environment. We prefer meals and activities together and subscribe to partial income sharing for expenses.

For more information, email Jody at jodyatwork@gmail.com or call (434) 444-0375.
