Wonder Forest Village

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed." - Einstein

Sustainable Living

We will grow and raise our own food, produce our own fuel, build our own homes, and live as part of the land

Spiritual Healing & Growth

We are one with all things and draw on ancient wisdom and our inner/higher truth to grow and heal and help others

A Place of Peace

We exist as a refuge from the control and stress of the world, where humans can remember how to be human

Art

We create! Music, visual art, dance, pottery; we celebrate the act of creating as core to our humanity

Discovery

There is no end to wonder. Through scientific study and presence with nature we are here for it all

Community

We collaborate in most major areas of life for the benefit of everyone, food, learning, recreation, and more.

Aligned Businesses

We partner with aligned businesses to supply them with the resources they need to run their business

Farm Store

We have a roadside farm store where we sell our farm products, art from the community, and other items

Animals

We have pasture raised cows, goats, chickens, and many other animals that contribute to our nutrition and beyond

Retreats

We host healing retreats where people from all over can come visit the forest to heal and grow

While much of the world and most larger societies are continuing to be unsafe for humanity, the collective is ready for a remembering. We are remembering that we are powerful, free beings meant to create flourishing lives and thriving communities of peace and love.

Wonder Forest Village is an intentional community focused on sustainable cooperative living, spiritual growth and healing, artistic expression, and generally living in the wonder of life.

We are looking for like-minded families and individuals to live with us in the forest north of Charleston South Carolina. The land will be purchased, maintained, and legally protected through a "permanent land cooperative” which provides both residents and outside parties the ability to participate.

The village will consist of homesites for families and individuals, common areas for food and resource cultivation, art and science, recreation, and communal gatherings. By purchasing a “resident share (or shares)”, a resident will have the right and responsibility to live on the land and participate in the activities based on their skills and knowledge.

It is the desire of the village to have a diversity of skills, interests, and knowledge represented within those living in the collective, especially those which support the key village values of:

-Sustainable living (food, fuel, shelter)

-Spiritual Growth and Healing

-Art (Music, Visual, Dance)

-Discovery/Wonder Science

We are also open to the financial participation of those who will not live with us as “investor members”, who in exchange for their investment (investment shares) will help to create positive impact in the world and receive a modest return annually based on the profits from the farming, healing work, and art of the community.

about us

We are Rob and Lisa Connelly, together with the "Combo Fam" (blended family of 7).

We are creating an intentional
community to build a better life for us and others that align with our values, spiritual beliefs, and practices.

Lisa and Rob have come together for a divine purpose here on earth. They each use their gifts of music, intuition, soul connection and compassion to serve and help others awaken and heal on their spiritual journey.

We believe that all souls have purpose and meaning in their lives and that a healthy community can be built as we continue
to learn and grow in an environment that encourages people to be who they truly are.

We have a desire to create an environment where individuals and families can flourish though connection with each other, growing and eating healthy and nourishing foods, discovering interests and talents and helping one another on the land-home building/projects/farming.

We are heart centered and believe that modern day society has lost its way. so we are looking for like minded individuals who also value connection to land, nature, one another and all things as we are all
connected.

The Land

We have found an unspoiled 133 acre property adjacent to the Francis Marion National Forest about 45 minutes North of Charleston SC that we believe will be the home of WFV.Wwe will buy it together as a group once the community is formed.

There have been very thoughtful, useful, and loving improvements to the property including the preparation of a beautiful pasture area by the entrance, road clearings for access throughout key areas of the property, and four large clearings.

This place is setup for a village just like our vision to be built and comes with the equipment needed to maintain it as well!
