Woodard Lane Cohousing

We are all interested in living in community to build friendships, help and care for each other, and support one another’s well-being and growth. We are a family that really tries to prioritize respecting the Earth and respecting one another and minimizing violence.

We bring community networking and outreach connections, especially related to social service work. We offer the community knowledge about: toxins in our environment, childbirth education and local birds. Both Daphne and Mia are very interested in taking care of chickens. We eat healthy, natural, organic, whole foods and bring our family into nature as often as possible. We teach our children to respect and honor Mother Earth and try to help them feel their connection to the Earth in ways that counteract mainstream representations. We strive to act within our family and community in ways that work towards eliminating violence and oppression while also making time to play, be creative, and be silly…
