Laughing Mountain

4 sites · Tents10 acres · Glendale, OR

Come see us under "Laughing Mountain" on youtube! Hello friend, let me take you on a tour of our Laughing Mountain mission statement and backstory. We have discovered that Laughing Mountain is not just a physical place on a mountain top, it is also a metaphysical entity that has dreamt itself awake. The irony of the fact that the creation of Laughing Mountain, has been nothing but blood, sweat and tears, pays homage to the reality that just like us, this mountain is a work in progress, we are all slowly chipping away at the masterpiece that is our divine self awakened. Laughing Mountain is a living thing in flux as it heals and breaks and mends itself all in the name of healing to help others heal too, it is the columniation of lifetimes of trauma experienced by humanity and their desperate dreams of freedom. Dreams of something better. Dreams of awakening. Laughing Mountain is the dream of the people, it is not Bryan or Terrah’s alone, we are simply here healing with it, and you. We weren’t aware of the sentience and trauma of the land at first, only our own need for healing, and desire to help others heal in the ways we’d found healing, by creating a sacred space in nature for everyone to use. As we began this dance of chaos with the land and all things residing in it and around it, we realized the land was as spiritually sick as we were. A microcosm of planet Earth, it has been raped, pillaged and neglected, it’s future never considered, it’s native stewards murdered, all in the name of greed. After 2 years of profound breakthroughs, mind bending healing ceremonies, confusion, emotional melt downs, everything malfunctioning one after another and questioning our choice to be here, we couldn’t help but feel like we were being sabotaged by something… We were. She was trying to get our attention, as were all of the negative energies trapped here. Suddenly an epiphany struck us both, in the thick muck of a terrible physical and energetic rut, we knew we needed to heal the energy that had been left lingering here from all of the traumatic events that happened all around us for hundreds of years. Just like us, trauma was trapped inside her from other people, just like the ancestral trauma we all suffer from on planet Earth. This is when we realized the land had called us here to help it, and in turn it would help us heal too….and it has. We now know we are exactly where we are supposed to be. When you come to this living mountain, speak kindly to her, she hears you, honor the Takilma ancestors who came before us, the plants and the trees the snakes and the bees, because we are all in this together. There is no you or me, there is only us and we. You and I are one being united in our desire for balance and peace on this planet, let’s walk together and support each other on this journey back into the welcoming arms of our own divinity. A little about our land; GPS will not take you to the right place, it tries to use roads that don't exist anymore so we give coordinates for the beginning of our road. We send you coordinates, very detailed directions, troubleshooting tips, and photo maps we made. As long as you successfully used the coordinates its easy. There is no service here for the most part, mile marker 4 on the main road gets service if you need it! We have a brand new beautiful shower, outhouses that look like bird houses, a sink and picnic tables and a ceremony space. We have two new Bell Tents we are creating listings for, one 13ft with its own outhouse and tucked away from the rest of the campground in a beautiful spot and a 10ft one closer to the main camping area, which contains a sink, 2 outhouses and picnic tables. There are several camp spots for you to pitch your own tent! we never have more than 2 groups of campers at a time and no more than 4 people each. Our driveway is steep, fancy and low riding cars, electric cars, and inexperienced drivers BEWARE!! We highly recommend 4WD!!! If you have 2WD and it rains which in the summer it never does but we have had late rains this year, we can shuttle you up the driveway and lock the car behind the gate. there is also a beautiful camp spot on the creek at the bottom of the driveway if you want to camp there, you will not have ammeneties down there. We are in the mountains, the roads here are windy and narrow for a few miles, if this makes you nervous I don't recommend it. We recently became WWOOF hosts, if you’re interested in WWOOFING or helping us with any projects we can discuss additional free nights! I need help creating a garden, planting trees, creating soil, artist for painting/murals, composting, nature art, creating beautiful camp sites, medicine making, all of the infrastructure needs replaced from solar to pluming and we’re building a tiny house eventually too so there’s something to learn for everyone! FYI there are small pockets of poison oak here but I keep the sites and trails as clear as I can. Please let us know if you’re interested in plant ID walks, Mushroom ID, medicine making, gold prospecting, boat rides or fishing. We prefer you don't pay ahead of time for extras incase we're unavailable for some reason, you can paypal us or bring cash. Our Creation Story; Our part of this living dream began long ago before either of us were born, in the cries of our ancestors, their fear and suffering imprinted into their DNA and passed down for centuries. These mementoes of trauma left to awaken in us as mental illness, autism, and addiction. This dream for us both, began as a nightmare we called life and it would be a long dark road before we found our light. Sometimes beauty is born of ugly. Bryan and I are the male and female aspects of the same suffering, each choice for freedom from our suffering bringing our paths closer to alignment. We both experienced trauma induced severe physical mystery illnesses around the same time as well, which only drove us deeper into our healing journeys. It all started with a prison break. From lands and people that did not support our freedom of spirit or growth of that spirit, far across the country from this very different world we now live in. Oregon and California feel like another country to me. The freedom of creative self expression as I drove through the southwest and bummed around on Cali beaches was life changing, healing and inspiring. The universe smiled upon us both as we would escape to the same place around the same time, with the same dream of helping the world heal. With nothing but a dream of mending our own broken hearts, no money, no jobs, no place to go to, just utilizing our WWOOF work trading accounts to act as a compass for the universe to create the miracle that was our eventual meeting in the sleepy NorCal beach town of Crescent City California. This dream is still in its infancy, a 2.5 year old toddler wild and free, testing its limits and falling on its face…a lot. We’ve spent the entirety of our time here navigating our relationships to ourselves, each other, our neighbors, our dream for this land and the land itself. It’s been a clumsy walk and we only now are finding our equilibrium and beginning to find a balanced pace here. Living off grid is very difficult to those who don’t know! Light switches do not always turn on at the flip of the switch or toilets flush, you actually have to build infrastructures yourself and maintain them, you are the power company, water and gas. There is no garbage collection either so we ask that you put thought into what you bring here, let’s lay down our disposable lifestyle and be mindful of Mother Nature and the need to be responsible for our waste. Only when you remove yourself from the convenience of modern life do you truly grasp how distant we have become from our origins, how stressed and careless. We rarely think about our impact on the world around us. We desire to share this place with people so they too can awaken to the myriad of responsibilities we have forsaken and the people and land and animals and insects we harm in our wake, and also the love we can give and receive from the living land all around us. We are only working toward this, we still use gasoline, phones, plastic, but we are aware of its unsustainable nature and are moving in the direction of sustainability and regeneration. We hope that while you are here walking our many trails through the forest that it awakens you and inspires you to join us on this journey and make change in the world, but first you must make change in your mind and heart, and that starts with healing your trauma. We offer this space to all who come here because we believe healing should not be a capitalist commodity. We have dedicated our lives, money, time and sometimes sanity to this cause and we are grateful to anyone who would like to volunteer on any of our many projects! The end goal for Laughing Mountain is for it to be a thriving sanctuary for all natural and spiritual/energetic modalities of healing for the public long after we are gone, this is not just for us, it is for you too, your children and grandchildren!

Crater Lake Private Woodlands

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Prospect, OR

Private and protected forest woodlands, trails, wildlife, ponds, wildflowers, old growth timber and views. Unspoiled nature at its best! We are located in southern Oregon near Crater Lake NP, just off of hwy 62, part of the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, more commonly known as the "highway of waterfalls" and near the little town of Prospect on what is known as the beautiful side of Crater Lake NP. Three waterfalls, the Prospect Cafe, and the Historic Hotel are all within a two-mile radius. If you're after that famous pie at Beckie's Cafe, you are 10 minutes close. Our 100 acre ranch allows us to host guests in their own RV's, at camp/tent sites, or in our new A-frame Cabin all located in private, and even secluded, sites. Several well maintained trails wind throughout the property and can be enjoyed by guests. Nature enthusiasts enjoy the hiking, wildlife viewing, and the beautiful ponds and woods. Crater Lake Woodlands is part of the historic Katydid Ranch. Once owned by Boise Cascade who used it both for growing seedlings to replant logged mountain sides and as a vacation getaway for their executives, the story of Katydid Ranch goes back to the early 1900's when it's owner named "Katy" used it as the "half-way" overnight lodging for horse & buggy guests traveling to Crater Lake from the Rogue Valley. Leaving the valley at the crack of dawn, they could arrive at "Katy's" by nightfall, in time for a meal and sound mountain sleep. They'd hitch up at dawn and make it to Crater Lake by nightfall. Historically, the first residents were the Rogue River Takelma and Latgawa native Americans. Latgawa lived in the Rogue Valley of interior southwest Oregon. In their own language "Latgawa" means "those living in the “uplands," though they were also known as the Walumskni by the neighboring Klamath tribes. Specifically, Ha-ne-sakh. The Latgawa were one of two peoples who spoke the Takelma language. They were hunters, gatherers, weavers and fished the Rogue River. They were known to have a stationary settlement and trading post at the Katydid Ranch location. Their tribes lived in the upper Rogue River area extending beyond Prospect and Union up to Crater Lake. Since we've owned the Ranch, we've maintained the custom of welcoming overnight guests and at the same time, we continue to honor the protected wildlife designation given to it back in the 50's. Wildlife viewing is one the delights we share with our guests. Please be mindful of native wildlife keeping dogs on leash so as to avoid chasing and barking at wildlife. Thank you. The animals here include, but are not limited to black tail deer, elk, fox, coyote, ringtailed cat, raccoon, skunk, and also typically farther up the mountain are the elusive mountain lions and black bear which we have never spotted on our property. The ponds and surrounding area are home to migratory to the Oregon Pond turtle, Canada geese, quail, wild turkeys, various owls including the great horned owls, hawks, cranes and eagles. Our pond bird watcher friends spotted Common Mergansers, Ring Necked Ducks, Canada Geese…and a Loon. The bull frogs orchestrate the evening and can be heard at times throughout the day. Katydid Ranch is a wildlife sanctuary. The flora and fauna of the forest is abundant and diverse. This land is home to many native grasses, ferns, and berries, wild flowers, as well as many other edible and medicinal plants and numerous varieties of mushrooms. If you are visiting during blackberry season, feel free to pick, pick, pick and indulge. Katydid trees include old growth Douglas Fir, Ponderosa, Sugar, and Jeffrey Pine, various Cedar tree varieties, Incense Cedar, the majestic Pacific Madrone, Alder, Big Leaf Maple, Black and White Oak, Dog wood, and Vine Maple. You may also spot the prolific wild hazelnuts. As Forest Stewards, we are committed to maintaining a well balanced and diverse forest ecosystem.

Laughing Mountain

4 sites · Tents10 acres · Glendale, OR

Come see us under "Laughing Mountain" on youtube! Hello friend, let me take you on a tour of our Laughing Mountain mission statement and backstory. We have discovered that Laughing Mountain is not just a physical place on a mountain top, it is also a metaphysical entity that has dreamt itself awake. The irony of the fact that the creation of Laughing Mountain, has been nothing but blood, sweat and tears, pays homage to the reality that just like us, this mountain is a work in progress, we are all slowly chipping away at the masterpiece that is our divine self awakened. Laughing Mountain is a living thing in flux as it heals and breaks and mends itself all in the name of healing to help others heal too, it is the columniation of lifetimes of trauma experienced by humanity and their desperate dreams of freedom. Dreams of something better. Dreams of awakening. Laughing Mountain is the dream of the people, it is not Bryan or Terrah’s alone, we are simply here healing with it, and you. We weren’t aware of the sentience and trauma of the land at first, only our own need for healing, and desire to help others heal in the ways we’d found healing, by creating a sacred space in nature for everyone to use. As we began this dance of chaos with the land and all things residing in it and around it, we realized the land was as spiritually sick as we were. A microcosm of planet Earth, it has been raped, pillaged and neglected, it’s future never considered, it’s native stewards murdered, all in the name of greed. After 2 years of profound breakthroughs, mind bending healing ceremonies, confusion, emotional melt downs, everything malfunctioning one after another and questioning our choice to be here, we couldn’t help but feel like we were being sabotaged by something… We were. She was trying to get our attention, as were all of the negative energies trapped here. Suddenly an epiphany struck us both, in the thick muck of a terrible physical and energetic rut, we knew we needed to heal the energy that had been left lingering here from all of the traumatic events that happened all around us for hundreds of years. Just like us, trauma was trapped inside her from other people, just like the ancestral trauma we all suffer from on planet Earth. This is when we realized the land had called us here to help it, and in turn it would help us heal too….and it has. We now know we are exactly where we are supposed to be. When you come to this living mountain, speak kindly to her, she hears you, honor the Takilma ancestors who came before us, the plants and the trees the snakes and the bees, because we are all in this together. There is no you or me, there is only us and we. You and I are one being united in our desire for balance and peace on this planet, let’s walk together and support each other on this journey back into the welcoming arms of our own divinity. A little about our land; GPS will not take you to the right place, it tries to use roads that don't exist anymore so we give coordinates for the beginning of our road. We send you coordinates, very detailed directions, troubleshooting tips, and photo maps we made. As long as you successfully used the coordinates its easy. There is no service here for the most part, mile marker 4 on the main road gets service if you need it! We have a brand new beautiful shower, outhouses that look like bird houses, a sink and picnic tables and a ceremony space. We have two new Bell Tents we are creating listings for, one 13ft with its own outhouse and tucked away from the rest of the campground in a beautiful spot and a 10ft one closer to the main camping area, which contains a sink, 2 outhouses and picnic tables. There are several camp spots for you to pitch your own tent! we never have more than 2 groups of campers at a time and no more than 4 people each. Our driveway is steep, fancy and low riding cars, electric cars, and inexperienced drivers BEWARE!! We highly recommend 4WD!!! If you have 2WD and it rains which in the summer it never does but we have had late rains this year, we can shuttle you up the driveway and lock the car behind the gate. there is also a beautiful camp spot on the creek at the bottom of the driveway if you want to camp there, you will not have ammeneties down there. We are in the mountains, the roads here are windy and narrow for a few miles, if this makes you nervous I don't recommend it. We recently became WWOOF hosts, if you’re interested in WWOOFING or helping us with any projects we can discuss additional free nights! I need help creating a garden, planting trees, creating soil, artist for painting/murals, composting, nature art, creating beautiful camp sites, medicine making, all of the infrastructure needs replaced from solar to pluming and we’re building a tiny house eventually too so there’s something to learn for everyone! FYI there are small pockets of poison oak here but I keep the sites and trails as clear as I can. Please let us know if you’re interested in plant ID walks, Mushroom ID, medicine making, gold prospecting, boat rides or fishing. We prefer you don't pay ahead of time for extras incase we're unavailable for some reason, you can paypal us or bring cash. Our Creation Story; Our part of this living dream began long ago before either of us were born, in the cries of our ancestors, their fear and suffering imprinted into their DNA and passed down for centuries. These mementoes of trauma left to awaken in us as mental illness, autism, and addiction. This dream for us both, began as a nightmare we called life and it would be a long dark road before we found our light. Sometimes beauty is born of ugly. Bryan and I are the male and female aspects of the same suffering, each choice for freedom from our suffering bringing our paths closer to alignment. We both experienced trauma induced severe physical mystery illnesses around the same time as well, which only drove us deeper into our healing journeys. It all started with a prison break. From lands and people that did not support our freedom of spirit or growth of that spirit, far across the country from this very different world we now live in. Oregon and California feel like another country to me. The freedom of creative self expression as I drove through the southwest and bummed around on Cali beaches was life changing, healing and inspiring. The universe smiled upon us both as we would escape to the same place around the same time, with the same dream of helping the world heal. With nothing but a dream of mending our own broken hearts, no money, no jobs, no place to go to, just utilizing our WWOOF work trading accounts to act as a compass for the universe to create the miracle that was our eventual meeting in the sleepy NorCal beach town of Crescent City California. This dream is still in its infancy, a 2.5 year old toddler wild and free, testing its limits and falling on its face…a lot. We’ve spent the entirety of our time here navigating our relationships to ourselves, each other, our neighbors, our dream for this land and the land itself. It’s been a clumsy walk and we only now are finding our equilibrium and beginning to find a balanced pace here. Living off grid is very difficult to those who don’t know! Light switches do not always turn on at the flip of the switch or toilets flush, you actually have to build infrastructures yourself and maintain them, you are the power company, water and gas. There is no garbage collection either so we ask that you put thought into what you bring here, let’s lay down our disposable lifestyle and be mindful of Mother Nature and the need to be responsible for our waste. Only when you remove yourself from the convenience of modern life do you truly grasp how distant we have become from our origins, how stressed and careless. We rarely think about our impact on the world around us. We desire to share this place with people so they too can awaken to the myriad of responsibilities we have forsaken and the people and land and animals and insects we harm in our wake, and also the love we can give and receive from the living land all around us. We are only working toward this, we still use gasoline, phones, plastic, but we are aware of its unsustainable nature and are moving in the direction of sustainability and regeneration. We hope that while you are here walking our many trails through the forest that it awakens you and inspires you to join us on this journey and make change in the world, but first you must make change in your mind and heart, and that starts with healing your trauma. We offer this space to all who come here because we believe healing should not be a capitalist commodity. We have dedicated our lives, money, time and sometimes sanity to this cause and we are grateful to anyone who would like to volunteer on any of our many projects! The end goal for Laughing Mountain is for it to be a thriving sanctuary for all natural and spiritual/energetic modalities of healing for the public long after we are gone, this is not just for us, it is for you too, your children and grandchildren!

Below the Falls Lodge

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Coos Bay, OR

Relax and revive in this artistic 'cabin' with wonderful views of historic Glenn Creek from every room. An architectural dream, you enter this lodge style home through a pivoting hobbit style front door with hardware from the 1800's. Highlights of this original home include a gourmet kitchen with labradorite granite counters, 800 year old juniper tree spiral stair case, huge beams and exposed rafters, a sauna, and a romantic wood stove. Also each upstairs bedroom has a hanging bed with three 8 foot skylights above for indoor star gazing. Original artworks from local artists are throughout the home. Many pleasantries await the curious such as embedded fossils in the cracked mud walls.Nestled amongst towering fir and cedar trees, with windows everywhere, you'll feel and see nature's presence. This home site has a remarkably peaceful way about it. Recently featured in Southern Oregon Magazine and KCBY 11 TV's ~In Focus~ 'Goin' Green' and Oregon's Solar Home Tour, this is a unique 'green' home. This home was built with environmentally friendly materials. Building with little impact on the surroundings was very important to us during construction. The myrtle hardwood floor in the kitchen and living room was milled on site which came from trees that stood where the house is now. Same story for the beautiful maple flooring in the ½ bath. All of the large beams and fir flooring came from two 4' thick 104 year old douglas fir trees which also stood and were milled where the house is now. The fir trees sprouted after the last forest fire that came through the canyon. One of our neighbors fell a sixty five year old redwood that was over six feet thick! We used some of it as a wonderful wainscot paneling throughout the house. All of the finishes used are no or low VOC. Surrounding the house is native vegetation, huge trees and a few herbs and spices for cooking. You'll enjoy the fully equipped kitchen with labradorite granite counters. The kitchen island has a new five burner gas stove with a convection oven and warming oven. The island has plenty of granite and wood counter space. Hanging from the exhaust hood are stainless, non-stick, and cast iron cookware. We also provide shade grown fair trade coffee and a grinder, espresso machine, coffee maker, toaster, microwave, utensils, chef knives, glasses and frosty cocktail glasses in the freezer. The dining room table has a river view and can seat six comfortably. There is also seating for three at the island bar. From the kitchen you can visit with the folks in the living room thanks to the open floor plan. Beside the wood stove are two chairs and the futon couch with reading lamp. A CD changer, TV with a DVD player and VHS machine are in the downstairs bedroom. Bring your favorite videos or browse our selection of movies. The property has 150 feet of creek frontage with great views of Glenn creek, the forest and distant cliffs. Enjoy wildlife viewing with River Dippers, Chipmunks, Kingfishers, Great Blue Herons, Screech Owls, Pileated Wood Peckers, Elk, an occasional Bald Eagle or River Otter and other wildlife from the house and back deck. Build a fire and have lunch on the nearby picnic table and benches.

Crater Lake Private Woodlands

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Prospect, OR

Private and protected forest woodlands, trails, wildlife, ponds, wildflowers, old growth timber and views. Unspoiled nature at its best! We are located in southern Oregon near Crater Lake NP, just off of hwy 62, part of the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, more commonly known as the "highway of waterfalls" and near the little town of Prospect on what is known as the beautiful side of Crater Lake NP. Three waterfalls, the Prospect Cafe, and the Historic Hotel are all within a two-mile radius. If you're after that famous pie at Beckie's Cafe, you are 10 minutes close. Our 100 acre ranch allows us to host guests in their own RV's, at camp/tent sites, or in our new A-frame Cabin all located in private, and even secluded, sites. Several well maintained trails wind throughout the property and can be enjoyed by guests. Nature enthusiasts enjoy the hiking, wildlife viewing, and the beautiful ponds and woods. Crater Lake Woodlands is part of the historic Katydid Ranch. Once owned by Boise Cascade who used it both for growing seedlings to replant logged mountain sides and as a vacation getaway for their executives, the story of Katydid Ranch goes back to the early 1900's when it's owner named "Katy" used it as the "half-way" overnight lodging for horse & buggy guests traveling to Crater Lake from the Rogue Valley. Leaving the valley at the crack of dawn, they could arrive at "Katy's" by nightfall, in time for a meal and sound mountain sleep. They'd hitch up at dawn and make it to Crater Lake by nightfall. Historically, the first residents were the Rogue River Takelma and Latgawa native Americans. Latgawa lived in the Rogue Valley of interior southwest Oregon. In their own language "Latgawa" means "those living in the “uplands," though they were also known as the Walumskni by the neighboring Klamath tribes. Specifically, Ha-ne-sakh. The Latgawa were one of two peoples who spoke the Takelma language. They were hunters, gatherers, weavers and fished the Rogue River. They were known to have a stationary settlement and trading post at the Katydid Ranch location. Their tribes lived in the upper Rogue River area extending beyond Prospect and Union up to Crater Lake. Since we've owned the Ranch, we've maintained the custom of welcoming overnight guests and at the same time, we continue to honor the protected wildlife designation given to it back in the 50's. Wildlife viewing is one the delights we share with our guests. Please be mindful of native wildlife keeping dogs on leash so as to avoid chasing and barking at wildlife. Thank you. The animals here include, but are not limited to black tail deer, elk, fox, coyote, ringtailed cat, raccoon, skunk, and also typically farther up the mountain are the elusive mountain lions and black bear which we have never spotted on our property. The ponds and surrounding area are home to migratory to the Oregon Pond turtle, Canada geese, quail, wild turkeys, various owls including the great horned owls, hawks, cranes and eagles. Our pond bird watcher friends spotted Common Mergansers, Ring Necked Ducks, Canada Geese…and a Loon. The bull frogs orchestrate the evening and can be heard at times throughout the day. Katydid Ranch is a wildlife sanctuary. The flora and fauna of the forest is abundant and diverse. This land is home to many native grasses, ferns, and berries, wild flowers, as well as many other edible and medicinal plants and numerous varieties of mushrooms.

We recently became WWOOF hosts, if you’re interested in WWOOFING or helping us with any projects we can discuss additional free nights! I need help creating a garden, planting trees, creating soil, artist for painting/murals, composting, nature art, creating beautiful camp sites, medicine making, all of the infrastructure needs replaced from solar to pluming and we’re building a tiny house eventually too so there’s something to learn for everyone! FYI there are small pockets of poison oak here but I keep the sites and trails as clear as I can. Please let us know if you’re interested in plant ID walks, Mushroom ID, medicine making, gold prospecting, boat rides or fishing. We prefer you don't pay ahead of time for extras incase we're unavailable for some reason, you can paypal us or bring cash. Our Creation Story; Our part of this living dream began long ago before either of us were born, in the cries of our ancestors, their fear and suffering imprinted into their DNA and passed down for centuries. These mementoes of trauma left to awaken in us as mental illness, autism, and addiction. This dream for us both, began as a nightmare we called life and it would be a long dark road before we found our light. Sometimes beauty is born of ugly. Bryan and I are the male and female aspects of the same suffering, each choice for freedom from our suffering bringing our paths closer to alignment. We both experienced trauma induced severe physical mystery illnesses around the same time as well, which only drove us deeper into our healing journeys. It all started with a prison break. From lands and people that did not support our freedom of spirit or growth of that spirit, far across the country from this very different world we now live in. Oregon and California feel like another country to me. The freedom of creative self expression as I drove through the southwest and bummed around on Cali beaches was life changing, healing and inspiring. The universe smiled upon us both as we would escape to the same place around the same time, with the same dream of helping the world heal. With nothing but a dream of mending our own broken hearts, no money, no jobs, no place to go to, just utilizing our WWOOF work trading accounts to act as a compass for the universe to create the miracle that was our eventual meeting in the sleepy NorCal beach town of Crescent City California. This dream is still in its infancy, a 2.5 year old toddler wild and free, testing its limits and falling on its face…a lot. We’ve spent the entirety of our time here navigating our relationships to ourselves, each other, our neighbors, our dream for this land and the land itself. It’s been a clumsy walk and we only now are finding our equilibrium and beginning to find a balanced pace here. Living off grid is very difficult to those who don’t know! Light switches do not always turn on at the flip of the switch or toilets flush, you actually have to build infrastructures yourself and maintain them, you are the power company, water and gas. There is no garbage collection either so we ask that you put thought into what you bring here, let’s lay down our disposable lifestyle and be mindful of Mother Nature and the need to be responsible for our waste. Only when you remove yourself from the convenience of modern life do you truly grasp how distant we have become from our origins, how stressed and careless. We rarely think about our impact on the world around us. We desire to share this place with people so they too can awaken to the myriad of responsibilities we have forsaken and the people and land and animals and insects we harm in our wake, and also the love we can give and receive from the living land all around us. We are only working toward this, we still use gasoline, phones, plastic, but we are aware of its unsustainable nature and are moving in the direction of sustainability and regeneration. We hope that while you are here walking our many trails through the forest that it awakens you and inspires you to join us on this journey and make change in the world, but first you must make change in your mind and heart, and that starts with healing your trauma. We offer this space to all who come here because we believe healing should not be a capitalist commodity. We have dedicated our lives, money, time and sometimes sanity to this cause and we are grateful to anyone who would like to volunteer on any of our many projects! The end goal for Laughing Mountain is for it to be a thriving sanctuary for all natural and spiritual/energetic modalities of healing for the public long after we are gone, this is not just for us, it is for you too, your children and grandchildren!
