The Heartwell Housing Cooperative

The Heartwell Housing Co-operative is an intentional community group in South Devon. We've been working together for a number of years to create and support evolving projects based on the principles of ecological and cultural sustainability, diversity, compassion and mindfulness. We believe that by co-creating community that is deeply connected to heart and the Earth, we are directly manifesting positive social change in the world.

We are working on buying property- dwelling places, workshops and land in the Totnes area, where we will house and provide resources for the members of our group. We aspire to provide secure and affordable housing for our members, be working on the land with plants and animals, celebrating the cycles of nature, sharing creativity and allowing space and time for just being. We will eco-renovate buildings and land, so that we can live in low impact way and become a hub for local sustainability and creativity, inviting people in to become inspired.

We are committed to using consensus decision making and non-violent communication tools, seeking to maintain energy, equality and diversity within the group, in the most open and effective way.

We are also committed to developing the possibilities of beneficial relationships now and in the future, to enhance the well-being of our members and the wider community, our collective ability to live sustainably within our Bioregion and work together for positive social change.
