ABOUT US:
We are creating a traveling village!

20 families traveling together for four months as an intentional community, exploring a new way of living. Every week we have two communal meals and we have a bunch of workgroups who make everything happen. Every family with their own freedom to do what they want, but a big community to tap into, which makes it easier to change location because all the friends will come along!
