Shifting the narrative from scarcity into abundance.
Through sharing knowledge and educating one another, we embody resiliency. We weave together a sturdy net that can hold the seeds for tomorrow. Let us put down isolation and desolation and gaze toward community, togetherness, and fundamental strength. Let us learn what is here and come to know its intricate role in our ability to exist in this ecosystem. In this way, we can move from surviving into thriving, on a global scale.
Hey there, we’re Jude & Katie.
We currently reside in the rolling Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. We rise with the sun and tend to the chickens before giving into the grumbles of our bellies. Harvesting roots, greens, berries and nuts as the sun makes her way over the mountain. Life is layered and complex here.
We’re no strangers to hard conversations or primal screams for something we can’t quite name. Parts of this life are as romantic as we had hoped, and a lot of it is filled with challenges that are asking us to root down deeper, to reach out to community and build a network of strong-willed humans, and to become as curious about life as we can.
Perhaps the point of life isn’t comfort or happiness. Perhaps it’s feeding the desire to learn more, to become strong in our skills, words and muscles, to be playful and filled with wonder, to be in harmony with one another. Perhaps it’s making sure our neighbor’s belly is as full as our own at the end of the day.
“Heaven is under our feet
as well as over our heads.”
— Henry David Thoreau
