We are purchasing 23.66 acres sandwiched in the Blue ridge mountains.

Shaconage (shah-con-ah-jey), or “Land of the Blue Mist,” is the ancient name conferred on the Blue Ridge Mountains by the Cherokee Indians in honor of the atmospheric blue haze that blankets the hills and hollows of the range. Though it’s largely forgotten today, the Cherokee tribe inhabited these mountains for more than ten thousand years, living harmoniously in the fertile valleys and game-rich ranges of the mountain landscape. Within their uniquely peaceable existence, the Cherokee thrived as the most socially and culturally advanced of the American Indian tribes.

Our plans are to have 15 to 20 cottages, a retreat center and an outdoor wedding chapel.

Victoria's Friends has partnered with Peter Lombardi Architects to design Blue Mist Village.


WHAT IS THRIVABILITY™?

Thrivability™ means that we create and build and live in a way that produces more than we take and leaves things better than how we found them. This can apply to the fostering of clean energy, food, water, air, plants, animals, ecosystems, and even humanistic communities. It allows all things to prosper and thrive.

ICOT™ is the most recent invention of Peter Lombardi Architects. ICOT™ or the Intentional Community of Today, is a cohesive development which merges common initiatives including wellness, clean energy, sustainability, vibrant community, environmental learning, organic farming, clean water and local economies.  This fully comprehensive approach to sustainable development combines universal principals of design, proportion, scale and harmony. We are also merging the best qualities of both ancient and modern technologies to make all commercial and residential buildings produce more energy than they consume.

ICOT™ encourages a contemporary approach to wellness where residents thrive and enjoy the highest quality of life.

Join us in this cutting edge project as we partner together to heal each and every victim of trafficiking.
