How the Living Springs Log House Sale Will Help the Animal Earth Alliance

When you help the Living Springs Log House find its next owner, you’re helping something bigger than one house. I want to tell you why.

Why Barbara is selling

At first Barbara, who owns the Living Springs Log House, simply wanted to support me, because she knows I’m doing good things. Over time that has grown. Barbara loves the animals, she cares deeply, and she’s a wonderful friend. Now she wants part of the profits from the sale to support the Animal Earth Alliance.

The spring-fed creek winds past, and down the road you can see the dream taking shape: a Common House and a little van ready to travel and share the Animal Earth Alliance with the world.

What the sale will help make possible

Finishing the Common House. About a 10-minute drive from the log house is the land I call All Beings Sanctuary. Part of the profits will help finish its Common House. My dream is that the Common House will be the larger space everyone shares, and everyone else will have their own small spaces.

A van for spreading the word. Part will also help provide me with a van that I can turn into a podcasting studio others can use too. It will be my bedroom and my own little space, already made, and a way to travel and share what the Alliance is about. You can read more about it in My Plan for a Self Sufficient Camper Van.

How you can help

When you share the news about the Living Springs Log House, you’re supporting the Animal Earth Alliance. And if you care about animals and the earth, I hope you’ll visit the Animal Earth Alliance blog and see what you think.

We’d love to be neighbors

Whoever buys the log house, we would love to be neighbors. All Beings Sanctuary is only about 10 minutes away. We could support each other and be sister communities, and that would be really wonderful.
