Welcome to Gathered Waters!
What is Gathered Waters?
Gathered Waters is more than just a place—it is a vision and a way of life. Nestled in the scenic Berkshires of Massachusetts, we are privileged to steward 17 acres of picturesque agricultural land and wetlands that we proudly call home.
Our mission at Gathered Waters is to live authentically and make a positive impact on the Earth and our local community. As a family deeply rooted in values of truth, love, and a profound sense of responsibility, we recognize the pressing challenges we face, including the climate crisis, systemic issues like capitalism, political instability, and deeply entrenched forms of racism and sexism. These concerns have fueled our drive to break free from the status quo and actively work towards solutions.
Gathered Waters represents our earnest attempt to be the change we want to see in the world. Through our diverse endeavors and projects, we are in pursuit of:
1. Environmental Stewardship: Committed to protecting and preserving our natural environment, we implement regenerative practices that promote biodiversity, conserve resources, and combat climate change.
2. Ethical Livelihood: We strive to earn a livelihood that aligns with our values, providing ethical and meaningful opportunities for ourselves and those we work with.
3. Local Food Ecosystem: As active contributors to the local food ecosystem, we cultivate nutritious and sustainably grown produce, connecting people to the land and fostering a resilient and vibrant community.
4. Liberating Homeschool Education: Nurturing the growth and curiosity of our child, we embrace a homeschool education approach that liberates and empowers, fostering a love for learning and critical thinking.
5. Finding Our Tribe: We seek to build connections and foster a sense of community, welcoming like-minded individuals who share our vision of positive change and seek to be part of a supportive and inspiring tribe.
We invite you to embark on this journey with us, where purpose and passion converge. Join us at Gathered Waters as we embrace the call for a better world—a world where authentic living, environmental stewardship, and community thrive. Together, let's create a brighter future.
As we embark on our first season in 2023, our focus lies on establishing thriving hives, nurturing hops, and cultivating wildflower meadows to provide a bountiful haven for our bees.
