Well, we (the visitors) are starting to get fully acquainted with the goings-on here at Dancing Rabbit. The day started off with a tour of the village, and the full scope of what the individuals here are trying to (and already have) accomplish struck me as overwhelming while walking about the territory. Overwhelming in a very positive sense, however. For example, while we walked through the land and scoped out the various homes people have built/are building, the people’s level of dedication and determination clearly stuck out. It’s quite amazing to see. Their homes and buildings themselves are extremely impressive, most built using strawbales for insulation and other natural, earthen materials. I would like to go more in-depth, but for now you can take a look at some photos of the structures:
The Common House: this is where one of the sub-co-ops does their cooking and eating. Hanging out can be had here, as well.
Skyhouse: Skyhouse is a small sub-community within DR, and this is their HQ. This is a really beautiful building with an amazing interior. Six bedrooms are located within. Very homely.
The grain bin: One of the more ingenious homes, the grain bin is a two-story home where two individuals live (bottom floor and top floor). You can see the backside of the solar panel to the left.
I hope to get plenty more photos as time progresses… But this is all the time I have for now.
