Residential Community
As a team, we are dedicated to utilizing transparency and connection as tools of liberation.
Our on campus residents consist of a diverse group of individuals spanning multiple generations with differing abilities. Our daily lives are expanded through shared meals, home care, culture sharing, and agricultural communion with nature. We are each dedicated to intra-personal and interpersonal liberation in unique and profound ways. Grounded in the work of consensus, we endeavor to heal through connection and communication with one another and the land.
