My sweet Victoria and I moved (here) to Montana to start the first of its kind – Sober Tiny House Community. It will be called “New Now Village”.
Instead of a Sober Living, which usually consists mainly of individuals early in Recovery, and living under one roof, imagine a “support system” community of people Living Sober.
A place where sober individuals with substantial time in recovery, will reside in separate alternative dwellings (tiny homes on wheels, cabins…) yet as a community. The experienced, teaching the new, and the new, re-inspiring the wise, a true kinship of inter-generational recovery. A place where meetings will be held, retreats and campouts hosted, and workshops, and trades taught. The intention is to build a healthy recovery environment conducive to assisting others, while learning to:
Save Money
Build Community
Grow food
Have campfires/cookouts
Live in smaller spaces in order to have bigger lives
Live more intentionally so as to require less “stuff”
Give back more, and help others
Practice Creativity
Repurpose building materials
Upcycle home decor
Earn money
Learn new skills
Heal
Attend meetings
Host retreats
Help others Rinse and repeat.
