The Sun House, with its abundant natural light from ample windows, is used for programs, short-term residencies, rentals, and retreats. It features one private bedroom but can comfortably accommodate up to six people in shared spaces. The converted garage now serves as a multi-purpose movement studio, ideal for martial arts, yoga, and dance parties, and even includes a sauna. Outside, a clawfoot soaking tub invites bathing under the sky and cedar trees.

Nestled among trees for a more private and intimate atmosphere, the Moon House is home to our farmer-in-residence and primary site steward. The original central part of the house dates back to the 1800s, with additions constructed in the 1990s. We removed the wallpaper, applied clay plasters and paints, and refurbished the original wood floors. The Moon House boasts vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, and a stunning fireplace in the "Unconditional Love Room."

The Star House is a tiny home built by our friend Robin and renovated under the guidance of Rachel Bagby, Naima Penniman, and Ben Brownell. We installed new floors using upcycled wood, crafted new countertops from a cherry tree sustainably harvested from local forests, and added white birch trim to the windows and doors. An outdoor shower and a wrap-around porch, perfect for stargazing towards the Big Dipper and North Star, were also added.

The Movement Center, also known as The Institute for Release and Renewal, was the first structure WILDSEED built on the land—a solar/passive/off-grid earthen humanure system. Through community workshops led by Ben Brownell, we employed "wattle and daub," one of the oldest building technologies on earth, which involves weaving branches and brush and covering them with mud and straw to create walls. We installed a rainwater catchment system for hand washing, applied a pigmented lime plaster finish to the exterior, and fashioned a beautiful toilet throne from local wood. Instead of flushing our “holy crap” down the drain with drinking water, where it becomes an environmental pollutant, we compost it to create nutrient-rich material for our WILDSEEDlings!

Our historic barn, over 200 years old, still displays the hand-sawn and axe markings on its original timbers. Once housing horses and other animals, it has since been home to baby chickens and ducks, oyster mushroom cultivation, and the drying of garlic and healing herbs. We are in the early stages of a major renovation project to upgrade the barn with walk-in coolers, a mushroom grow room, an accessible bathroom, and a finished gathering space.

The Oasis—a fertile place where water can be found—is a space for healing, creativity, connection, refuge, and replenishment, a sanctuary for nurturing our vitality and inspiring our dreams. It features a 60-foot diameter Mongolian Yurt, handcrafted with traditional techniques, including sheep fur walls and horse mane ropes, situated on a cedar deck overlooking the creek. This multi-purpose community space is used for healing sessions, creative gatherings, and collaborative workshops.

Originally part of a single-family estate, we inherited an inground pool as a luxurious amenity. None of us had prior experience with pool maintenance, so learning how to care for it has been a journey. We successfully transformed what had become a green frog habitat into a crystal-clear swimming hole, enjoyed by many children, land stewards, and friends.
