Living Tree Alliance
Featuring: Co-Founders Koehenet Sephira Oshkello and Melanie Kessler
Meaningful Earth-Based Living
Living Tree is a modern kibbutz-inspired community designed for joyful, adventurous earth-based living in Vermont’s great outdoors. They are a cohousing curator, event producer, and education center dedicated to connecting participants to self, community, earth and spirit through homesteading, camping, celebrations, festivals and enrichment programs. They welcome residents, guests, students, families, and groups of all ages and backgrounds.
Their mission is to create, evolve, and manage a thriving earth-based intentional community with universal Jewish values for individuals and families of all backgrounds seeking greater connection, meaning and purpose in life.
The Seven Pillars of Living Tree Alliance: Decisions and actions in all circles of their organization are grounded in these principles.
1. Regenerative Resiliency
We prioritize our ecological community in our thinking, acting and reflecting.
2. Service
We practice tzedakah (charity) and gemilut chassidim (acts of loving kindness) in work, hospitality, and economy.
3. Social Justice
We are informed by Jewish ethics and are committed to education, civic engagement and nonviolent communication.
4. Inner Work
We bring mindfulness, compassion & understanding to the cultivation of emotional, mental, physical, & spiritual well being.
5. Joy, Gratitude, and Celebration
We keep time to appreciate life each day, refrain from work on Shabbat and celebrate life cycle events with joy.
