A happily married father of two beautiful children, I have recently engaged a long ignored crisis. I am no longer able to participate in the current paradigm of living in the city, working in a cubicle, paying too much for my necessities and consuming more than my share. I have desired a split from this lifestyle for some time, but have found many distractions along my path to keep me tethered. Luckily I have the support of my wife in an endeavor to escape.

Our plan is to try to amass enough money to buy land and begin a new life of building with cob, gardening through permaculture, and raising our children in the most natural way possible. Currently we do not have the means to make this dream a reality, so we are seeking intentional communities willing to offer us stay until we can afford our own slice while educating ourselves on the reality of this lifestyle change in the meantime.
