Twin Oaks Road # W, Louisa, VA 23093. 540-894-5126,
540-894-4112(fax). Twin Oaks is an intentional community in
rural central Virginia, made up of around 85 adult members
and 15 children. Since the community's beginning in 1967,
our way of life has reflected our values of cooperation,
sharing, nonviolence, equality, and ecology. We do not have
a group religion; our beliefs are diverse. We do not have a
central leader; we govern ourselves by a form of democracy
with responsibility shared among various managers, planners,
and committees. We are self-supporting economically, and
partly self-sufficient. We are income-sharing. Each member
works 42 hours a week in the community's business and
domestic areas. Each member receives housing, food,
healthcare, and personal spending money from the community.
We welcome you to schedule a visit.
