We are a new kind of neighborhood dedicated to living sustainably, mindful of our earth’s finite natural resources
We build caring relationships and joyful, creative lifestyles that honor the well-being of all
At Living Well Community we share four core values:
Sustainability
We are committed to building with awareness of our impact on the planet.
Health and Wellness
Recognizing that health is our natural state, we encourage practices that create and support physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.
Honoring The Sacred
We honor the sacred within and around us, and support all people in their individual spiritual growth and development.
Service To The Greater Good
Our main purpose is to be of service to ourselves and others. We aspire to bring joy, peace, love and justice to the world. Being aware of how our actions affect others, we participate in local outreach projects. Our community hopes to share what we’re learning in ways that inspire others to create lifestyles that have reverence for the earth and compassion for all.
