In 2002 Marcelina
Martin, the former Director of Druid Heights' Artists
Retreat in California , decided to look for artists to join her on her
eleven acre property to come together in intentional community. We are
seeking residents and artists for the main house. A painter, writer,
photographer, performance artist, or potter would be complementary
additions. We welcome inquiries of potential new members by email and
letters. There are two of us now, one photographer/writer and one
dancer/musician.

We want to
share a
safe, loving environment with 3-5 women and nurture the creative
process. To live in harmonious synergy with each other, our animals and the
earth flows from ecofeminism , spiritual practice and living in close
daily contact with the Earth. This is a drug, smoke and alcohol free
environment.

We
are located ten miles West of Milledgeville, Georgia. The largest town,
Macon, is twenty minutes away and Atlanta is 1 1/2 hours north. The most
unique feature of this location is that Georgia College in Milledgeville
is the home to the Flannery O'Connor Collection. Her farm
Andalusia is now open to the public. I have just completed the
photography for University of Georgia's soon to be published book, "Literary
Guide to Flannery O'Connor's South".
Piney
Woods Colony is situated on eleven acres which are mostly piney woodlands
with two creeks. Buildings on the land include a main house, a large
workshop/studio, two small studios, and two sheds. There is space for a
large community garden and a labyrinth or any other outdoor art. One
of the sheds could easily be turned into a potter's studio. The shed
has electricity.

Ganesha
Academy of Indian Arts currently hostsTabla, cooking and dance lessons
here. When the workshop is finished being converted into a house, the
main house will be available for rent at $1200/month. It would be an
excellent space for events such as weekend workshops by writers, visual
artists, yogis, herbalists or other healers. There are electrical
outlets, water hook-ups and dump stations set up for three RVs. (As of
May 25,2007) Camping also is available.
