Chuckleberry Community Farm

Entering the vortex of Chuckleberry with the intention of catalyzing inner healing and transformation is one of the biggest gifts you can give to yourself. In this age where social norms do not serve the highest evolution of human consciousness, places like this are increasingly precious and rare. And the people you meet here may not seem very magical at first, but by the end, you'll have had some of the most important conversations of your life with them, and bonded more authentically than you thought possible. Be warned though. There are two Chuckleberries - one is a rustic, minimalist, off-grid and manually-run farm that can be frustrating and exhausting, at least at first, for those not used to living an active lifestyle in the isolated wilderness. But the other is a bubble of warmth, where your psychological baggage and inner demons are given the space to be known and re-integrated into the psyche. If you're on a spiritual quest of some kind, and need a place for a short and intense period of inner evolution, this is the place to go. There were times at this place when I felt fully human; so re-humanized, so seen and acknowledged that I was able to feel like the fullest version of my self. But there were also huge struggles, waves and waves of difficult emotions purifying themselves out, which thankfully did not overcome me, due to the supportive atmosphere. I feel like I'm able to face so much more in "the real world" and within my own mind, in the context of meditation practice, after having lived just 2 months here. Although at times I felt lost and confused, wondering what benefit there possibly could be to going to farm for 6 hours a day atop a mountain far away from any modern conveniences, the gifts this place gave me are becoming more and more obvious after having left. This is a place to learn self-control, psychological purification, compassionate vulnerability, radical accountability, and trust for your higher self's constant intuition. Which, if you ask me, is totally worth reality's splash of cold water on our unconscious faces!
