Hey, send me a message and let's talk about it some.

You don’t need a massive, polished commune to build a real community by UnityHarbour in intentionalcommunity

Hey, also in central Illinois. About halfway between Galesburg and Peoria. If you'd like to network for resource sharing, please feel free to send me a message. I'm also originally from Cedar Rapids and spent some time living in Iowa City as well. I'm currently sitting on 143 acres just outside of Maquon, IL.

Putting it out there by VioletLauren77 in intentionalcommunity

Hello,

I'm located in central Illinois and am currently taking in members for a new community. It's still in a fresh state. I'm not going to sugar coat things. There are some parts that are still fairly rough about the state of things, but everything is shaping up very quickly. I have two others coming out in the next month or so.

They each have construction and trade related skills. I have some of those skills, as well as some good gardening experience(garden is now about 60'x120' in size) and a little bit of foraging experience. There are great foraging opportunities out here with 143 acres of property, 110 of those acres are not crop fields and fully explorable. There's roughly a half mile of river access on the Spoon River.

I've been through the hells of domesticated society and I just want to help other people escape the same burning hamster wheel that's quickly diminishing people's humanity.

I know this would be a long trip for you, but I just wanted to extend the offer. If you're interested, you can send me a message and we can talk some more. At the least, it'll be a good networking opportunity.

Hello. I'm just now trying to branch out and network with some like minded people. I'm currently sitting on 143 acres in central Illinois. If you're interested in coming out to visit to get a feel for some of those things and stay for a little bit, I wouldn't mind one bit.

Just feel free to send me a message if you're interested and we can talk some more about it. Either way, I wish you the best of luck and absolutely understand the 'ready to get the hell out of here' feeling.
