Living lightly on the earth, being content with living with less
For over 30 years Janis has been living off-grid, practicing an eco conscious lifestyle based on simplicity. She grows and stores almost all of her organic produce. She is a promoter of artistically built squatting outhouses, root cellars for refrigeration 7 months out of the year, and greenhouses to extend the growing season. She has built a sustainable infrastructure and is looking for long term residents to build resilience together and face these times of impending ecological crises and climate disruption with courage and compassion; reclaiming our lives, our communities, and our planet from corporate rule. Here are the values that she strives to embody and seeks in her resident gardeners and guests:
Live at Awakening Mountain
Awakening Mountain is a living organism and every season and every person who interacts with the place changes it. Janis seeks to share her many years of wisdom and dedication to her vision and also find (or co-create!) a network of folks that want to vision with her. If you resonate with the values of living lightly, love spending time in nature on skis, walking forest trails, biking the Vermont dirt roads, working in the gardens, gathering for morning yoga and meditation, doing crafts and clay work together in the studio you may find sanctuary and community with Awakening Mountain.
To live with full awareness of both the Great Turning and the Great Unraveling and to embrace the uncertainty.
