live on a hippy commune
Hippie Commune/Lifesharing Community 22 months ago

I spent three and a half wondeful months living and working at Innisfree Village, an intentional lifesharing community for adults with developmental disabilities outside of Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. It was the happiest and most peaceful I’d been since elementry school. I worked in the weavery designing warps for placemats and scarves, baked bread and granola in the village bakery, helped out at the community store in Charlottesville, and learned to use a tablesaw and bandsaw in the woodshop. The majority of our food was either grown organically on our land by ourselves, bought from local Mennonite farms or butchers, or bought from stores that stocked products from the region. Not to mention living on the side of a mountain was absolutely beautiful. Though the work could be trying sometimes, I’d give anything to go back and plan on doing so within 5 years.
