Residency in Right Relationship
It is a season of living in right relationship—with land, community, and your own life.

This place gives exactly what you need.

Not what you expect.
Not what you planned.
What life is asking of you.

One Way of being

There is one way of being.

You do not come here as a guest, a volunteer, or a resident.
You come as a participant in a living system.

Each person arrives with their own season

of life, capacity, and intention.
But what we share is how we live, relate, and show up—

fully and authentically.

Reciprocity in Practice

This is a relationship.

An exchange of energy, care, and participation.

 

We operate on a sliding scale of contribution—
financial, practical, and relational.

 

Each person gives differently.
Some through financial support.
Some through time, skill, and care for the land.
Most through a blend of both.

What matters is not the form,
but the sincerity of your participation.

Contribution Range

Each person’s contribution reflects their

capacity, length of stay, and level of participation.

 

As a general guide:

Short stays typically range from
$100 – $200 per night

Longer stays and deeper involvement
open different forms of exchange—
often blending financial support with contribution to the land and community.

We find the balance together.

Readiness

This space asks something of you.

A willingness to participate.
To be in relationship with the land, with others, and with yourself.

To take responsibility for your experience.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
But you do need to feel the call to show up—fully and authentically.

Readiness is not measured by experience.
It is felt in your willingness to engage.

If you feel that, you are welcome here.

Step onto the way

If you feel the resonance, begin the conversation.

Share a bit about where you are in life,
what’s calling you here,
and what you feel ready to bring.

From there, we’ll explore together
if this is the right fit—
and what your time here could look like.
