Keepers of the Woods

Washingtonto Sitka, AK,

United States

(To be determined..)

Our intention is to establish a mostly traditional settlement that is as self-sufficient as possible. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if:

1) You hold that the well being of children and family to be of the highest importance.

2) You believe that living with a minimal impact and respect for the ecosystem is extremely important.

3) You believe that privacy and alone time is just as important as strong well-intended communication and community is.

4) You long to live in a small village setting pretty much as our ancestors once did, growing most of your food, spinning wool and flax for clothing and blankets and such, building a simple homestead for your family, etc.
