Eagle Creek 25 miles outside of Portland, Oregon,

United States

Community Forming just 25 miles outside of beautiful Portland Oregon, situated in the foothills of Mt. Hood on 120 acres, is the future home of an enviro-spiritual healing permaculture community. Ideally looking for only 10 - 20 couples or individuals to put energy into forming this community. The land is paid for already, so that is not a hurdle; however, everything else - buildings, water, energy sources, monetary resources etc. still needs to be created to make it happen. If you like to start with a completely open slate and create from scratch, then this community is for you! Open to all sorts of ideas provided they fit within the realm of being environmentally friendly and are suitable to forestland. Consider furniture making, building treehouses and natural buildings, setting up a camp for kids and adults to learn about nature and survival skills, hosting healing retreats, doing llama packing, spinning your own wool etc. Really the possibilities are as large as your imagination. We are aiming to get eco-village zoning to become an all encompassing eco-village. THIS IS A DRUG AND SMOKE FREE COMMUNITY. That's the main limitation/liberation! Please submit your ideas and the gifts you bring for consideration as a founding member of this community to FionaRhea. If you're local to Portland, we meet bi-monthly to discuss the books Creating a Life Together and the Ringing Cedar series as well as share resources. This summer we'll be hosting campouts on the land and if you're ready to shake your world, you're welcome to just come for rustic camp out for $250/mo. and start a project.
