The natural way of raising a child means to meet our instinctual expectations and needs.

We will be a neighborhood like any other—with gardens, shared spaces, cozy homes, and friendly faces. The only real difference is that the children don’t go to school. Instead, they grow up living and learning alongside adults, without being coerced into lessons, schedules, or systems that don’t serve them.

Children and adults here are immersed in real life. They’re surrounded by people of all ages, each following their own interests, projects, and passions. In this environment, learning happens naturally—through doing, exploring, playing, helping, observing, and asking questions. It’s how humans were meant to grow: supported, trusted, and free to be themselves.

We don’t do everything together. Just like in any neighborhood, there are social moments and quiet ones, group activities and solitary time. Some people like to gather often, others prefer their space. You can be as involved or as private as you wish.

There’s a shared outdoor fire pit and tables for anyone to use, and while we don’t have set meal times, people will surely often gather when it feels right—sometimes for a spontaneous BBQ or picnic, and other times just to share a warm drink and good conversation. Everyone brings their own food and eats when they’re hungry in communal spaces. It’s simple and organic, like the rest of life here.

This balance between independence and connection, between freedom and support, is what makes our way of living both natural and deeply human. As our village grows, this way of life will remain at its core.
