Project descriptionPlowshare is an intentional community where we strive to sustainably live with nature and to live respectfully with each other in a way that makes room for people of various skill levels and that honors and cares for both the needs of the individual and those of the group. Though some of our community members are developmentally challenges, some much more than others, we seek to live together in a way that recognizes the capability in everyone. Therefore the folks with special needs do not become our 'project' but in fact our co-creators and teachers.
