Our Online Hub
None of us want to spend more time online than we already do—but since we're on the internet anyway, let's use it to open a path back home to the land! Our new online hub is a dedicated collaboration space for doing just that.

Free to join, open to all
The hub is completely free to join, and open to everyone who resonates with our vision of low-impact, nature-based community living. You might be:
An aspiring resident
who wants to live in one of the communities we're going to be creating.
A supporter
who wants to contribute skills, knowledge, or resources to our mission.
A fellow traveller
working on your own land-based project and seeking connection with others.
A curious learner
exploring what land-based living could offer and how it aligns with your values.
You don't need to be an expert in natural building, permaculture or community living to get involved. You don't need to own land, capital, or even a pair of wellies. All that matters is that you feel the call home to the earth and community, and you're open to collaborating with others who feel the same way.

What's inside?
There are lots of ways to use the hub, depending on your interests and availability:
Connect & Discuss
Meet the others, share your story, and join discussion groups on a range of topics. Together, in an environment of curiosity and care, we can grow the mycelium network of relationships needed to create thriving communities.
Join Working Groups
Working groups are where we can collaborate on community creation. Choose a group that resonates with your interests or aligns with your skills and start contributing your knowledge and helping to build momentum.
Start Regional Groups
If you're interested in forming a community in a specific location, you can start or join a regional group. These groups are where the transition from vision to reality happens and the path to actual settlements is charted.
About Discussion Groups
Groups include:
Regional Connections
Find others in your area and explore local opportunities.
Vision & Values
Explore the philosophical foundations of land-based living and unpack what it is we're trying to create together.
Politics Positive
Discuss the political dimensions of land-based living, policy change, and systemic transformation in ways that honour diverse perspectives.
Land-Based Spirituality
Share practices, experiences, and reflections on the spiritual dimension of land-based community living.

About Regional Groups
Our current active group is in Totnes, Devon (since that’s where we’re based), but we’re keen to seed groups all around the country.
Due to legislation being more favourable in Wales (OPD) and Cornwall (Policy AL1) than in the rest of the UK, these areas are natural starting points for community creation. But our intention is to push for policy change across the UK to make land-based community living more accessible everywhere, so we want to support groups across the country.

Attend Live Events
We'll be inviting experts from our growing ecosystem of partners and collaborators into our live room, to share their knowledge and experience through regular online talks, Q&A sessions, and skill-sharing workshops.
Offer Your Expertise
If you'd like to help to nurture Land-Based Living CIC into the enabling organisation that we know it can be, we're actively seeking people with professional skills across a range of fields to join our core group.
Stay Informed
Whether or not you're ready for any kind of active involvement in the collective, joining the hub will keep you up to date with the latest news and you'll be among the first to receive invites to online and in-person events.
About Live Events
These sessions will cover a wide range of topics essential to land-based community living, including:
Permaculture and agroecology – practical approaches to working with the land in ways that restore ecosystems whilst producing abundance
Natural building – explore methods of creating healthy, affordable, low-impact housing using natural materials
Community governance – understand different models for collective decision-making, conflict resolution, and creating resilient social structures
Planning and legal frameworks – navigating the complexities of establishing low-impact developments, including OPD in Wales and Policy AL1 in Cornwall
Renewable energy systems – designing off-grid power solutions appropriate for community-scale living
Water systems and management – sustainable approaches to water harvesting, treatment, and conservation
Social weaving and intentional community – building the relational foundations that make communities thrive
Land-based spirituality and connection – deepening our relationship with place, nature, and the more-than-human world
Sessions will be facilitated by members of our growing network of partners, collaborators, and experienced practitioners in the land-based living movement and from broader movements towards ecological civilisation.
Hub members will receive advance notice of upcoming sessions, and can request topics they'd like to explore and speakers they'd like to hear from.

About Our Core Group
We're currently a very small team on a very large mission, and desperately need others to join in to help move things along.
If you have skills you'd like to contribute, we'd love to hear from you.
Roles needed at the moment include:
Media & Communications
Storytelling, social media, PR.
Event Organising
Online and in-person gatherings.
Fundraising
Grant writing, donor cultivation, and developing sustainable funding models.
Partnership Development
Help us grow our collaborative ecosystem.
Natural Building
Participate on WyldRoom builds, courses, and other building parties.
As soon as we’re in a position to do so we’ll be taking on paid team members for these and other roles, but at the moment you can probably expect all work to be unpaid. Those of us who have got the project this far have had to learn to be okay with that for now—we really hope you can too.

From online to on the land
Whilst the hub provides a useful space for connection and collaboration, our main goal is to get off the internet and back onto the land as soon as possible! It might take some time to create the beautiful one-planet communities of our dreams, so in the meantime we'll be hosting regular in-person events.
The online hub can be your gateway to these real-world opportunities. Members will have priority access to:
- In-person gatherings, workshops, and celebrations.
- Land-based volunteer opportunities.
- Courses in natural building, permaculture, and land-based crafts.
- Immersive experiences at our retreat centres as they come into being.

Together, we can forge a pathway home
Returning home to the land isn't something we can do alone. It requires shared wisdom, diverse skills, and collective effort. It takes a village to make a village. It takes a community to weave a culture of connection and belonging.
Fortunately, there are so many of us who share the longing to return, to restore ourselves to the web of life. If we come together, working towards a common vision, we can forge a path back onto the land and start to re-member our place in the great circle of being.
