Hello all. I am 27, 28 in December. My life isn’t a lot. Foster care to out at 18. Been in abuse a lot. And Was left with nothing and been on the road as a traveler my whole life. I am looking for somewhere to call home. A family. I’m tired of being here and there. I wanna be somewhere for awhile. I wanna feel peace and a purpose . I work my butt off for food and somewhere to sleep Feel free to let me know if anyone knows anywhere. Thank you
Hi. I’m Julie (She/Her). I’m a 56yo, married mother of two young adult women. I’m living in Miami-Dade, FL. But I’m working on transitioning to Waynesville, NC.
My father has 13 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, which I am envisioning as a self-sustaining intentional community retreat center. I have little to no experience with any of those things. I’ve never lived in an IC. But I think I’ve been headed in this direction since I worked at a residential treatment program for women with children from 1993-2000.
I’ve been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for (30?) years. But NC does not have reciprocity with FL. So I’m also working on transitioning into Life Coaching.
Spiritually speaking, I most closely resemble a Unitarian Universalist, though I am a minister in the Universal Life Church.
I didn’t notice anything in the Onboarding section about politics. So I hope it’s okay to say that I’m “a little nervous” about what’s happening here in the US (and abroad).
I care about a lot of political issues (climate change, LGBTQ rights, reproductive freedom, civil rights and democracy in general, etc). I love animals and meaningful conversations about politics/religion. But I’ll settle for karaoke, dancing, games, or puzzles 
I’m here to learn what I can about starting an intentional community and maybe meet some people who would like to help make it happen

Greetings: As I have found out, as long as you do not go too far with heavy leftist propaganda, People here will act nice (LOL a little personal inside joke)
Also, I am hoping I will end up in WNC, ENC, or ETN, and as I have been “rooting around” looking for a home, I came across a FB group that is set up to network the ICs and communities in mid-Appalachia. LMK if you’d like the link.

Hi MrPieceofWork 
Yes, please! 
I would LOVE the link! I’ve done a little research. And it seems there are numerous ICs in NC. Sometimes I wonder about so many people trying to do their own thing instead of combining efforts. But then I think we may be in need of quite a few sanctuaries in the near future. Pleasure to “meet” you. May you be safe and well 
may as well invite everyone* to it… we need to be networking and organizing.
*all who “get it” those who are going to be antagonistic need not be involved obv.
