It’s time to come home to the land.
Together, we can create the beautiful land-based communities our hearts know are possible.
Meaningful access to land and a strong sense of belonging to place-based community are among our core human needs. But these needs are going unmet in our world, leading to escalating imbalance at multiple levels – personal, societal, spiritual and ecological.
LBL collective is working to change this. Our mission is to support as many people as possible on the journey home to land-based community living, into the lives of deep connection, meaning and natural abundance we are made for.
At the heart of our collective’s mission is the understanding that we humans need to feel deep connection to each other and to natural living systems in order to be well and whole.
Nowhere can these connections be fostered more fully than in land-based community living, which provides:
Connection to the land through nature-immersive living, food growing, low-impact natural buildings, and conscious nature-connection practices.
Connection to each other through community living, working together on the land, reciprocal support, and conscious togetherness practices.
Connection to self through embeddedness in a natural and social environment that supports our humanity to emerge and thrive.
You can join us in helping to create and populate an expanding circle of land-based communities in the UK.
Make it happen
Our project is in the early stages, but there’s a powerful energy in the vision of land-based living we’re working with, and a great cultural and ecological need for radical alternatives to the destructive norm. So many possibilities are ahead of us. If our vision resonates with you and you would like to get involved, there are lots of ways of doing so…
Together we can create the beautiful and abundant land-based communities that so many of us long for… places where we can restore a deep sense of belonging to each other and to the living earth… where our core needs can be met without compromising the wellbeing of the greater whole… where the cost and pace of living aren’t crushing the spirit out of us… where we can slow down and feel the spaciousness that’s the foundation of peace and generosity… places we’re happy to bring our children up into, and which we’d be proud to pass on to them in time.
Together we can foster and embody a renewed sense of natural reverence for this miracle of life we are part of. And since we can, we must. For only from within a deeply restored relationship with each other and with the living earth can we begin to heal the wounds of our ravaged world.
