We've got the land.....

Hi. I'm new here, but really intrigued by your post...it actually brought me to this forum when I searched 'communal living'. My husband and I and our two children (two girls...2 and a half and 7 months old) are looking for a way out of the mainstream. We've had dreams of a B&B/commune/business. We just don't know how to start to disengage from this life to begin the other. Any input you have on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Sand

 

Hi sand, sorry to take so long getting back to you. To answer your question, I'm not sure if I'm really qualified to answer that. We haven't totally "disengaged" from mainstream yet.


For my family, it was more of a calling, not just a choice. I had a great job back home, a nice house out in the woods and friends and family that we left behind for a greater purpose.

I guess what I'm trying to say is if its truley in your heart, it will happen. Good luck to you and your family sand!

 

LMAO!!!!LOL

 

bump.

 

Sounds very interesting. It is very tempting. To top it off, I too am into martial arts so, I would have someone to practice with. However, right now I don’t have anything but my car. I don’t think I could afford a camper or anything and I would have no idea how to go about building my own house.

You said that you do not have a mission statement or anything that formal. Do you have any, how shall we say, “unwritten rules”?

 

Hi Dalamar, we don't really have any unwritten rules. As long as everyone is treated with kindness and respect, there shouldn't be any problems.

As it turns out, we have the upstairs in the main house vacant, and we have a vacant camper on the lot already, so finding a place for you wouldn't be a problem.

If you'd like, you can call and talk to us, get more of an idea of what we're about. We have alot of possitive things going on here lately, now would be a great time to come out. Or you can always drive out for a weekend, get a feel for things and decide from there.

If your really interested, we'd love to hear from you! Our number is 1-800-665-1637.

Peace

 

My friends and I want to spend, say, a month on a commune this summer. We are all going to college in the fall, and are looking for some peaceful time and deep convos with other liberals. Would this be possible?

 

Thanks for the reply.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you but, I had the flu. Today was my first day out of bed. I’ll get in touch with you.
