Intuitive and Intentional Living

Indianapolis, Indiana,

United States

We are led to believe that there is only one way in which to live and conduct ourselves....the right way. But what is right about isolating ourselves from each other? What is right about our children being taught to do nothing but take standardized tests? What is right about ignoring our connection to everything natural around us? What is right about working at a job you loathe just so you can have a ‘nice’ house and lots of things that hold no meaning to you? It doesn’t have to be this way.

My wife and I have 28 heavily wooded acres located outside of Indianapolis (we live in Indianapolis) that could one day provide us with many of the resources we need to live a self-sustaining lifestyle. It could end up just being us with our three children....and that’s fine too, but our personal journey has taken us to the point now where we are seeking out like-minded individuals, couples, families to connect with.

Those 28 acres may still be empty a year or two from now, or they may be home to us....and to you. One thing that is certain is that an intentional community will only be as strong as those from which it is composed. We are looking for intelligent, kind, empathetic, creative, funny, talented people who share these same views. Help us give form to this dream.

Let us know we’re not alone! Let’s first find out if we could even co-exist in a communal environment by going about the business of getting to know each other. If there are connections, inspiration, ideas, passion and ingenuity after that, then we can take the next step. First though....

....let us know you’re out there!
