Rural life holds so much beauty, resourcefulness, resilience, and connection to land.

It can also be deeply isolating when you are queer, disabled, neurodivergent, Indigenous, a person of color, questioning the religion you inherited, rebuilding your spirituality, or simply trying to find people who care about the world beyond themselves.

I don’t love calling Wild Indigo a “safe space,” because safety requires more than a rainbow or a sentence on a website. We practice safety through accessibility, consent, curiosity, accountability, and care.

What we are intentionally building is a rural sanctuary for learning, gathering, creating, and finding commUnity in nature.

In rural areas, it can be difficult to know where to find people and spaces that openly value LGBTQIA+ inclusion, disability access, racial and cultural equity, environmental stewardship, bodily autonomy, spiritual freedom, and care for people whose lives may look nothing like our own.

That kind of isolation can quietly convince people they have to leave rural life behind to find what they need.

When you need a place to simply exist as yourself, surrounded by nature, Wild Indigo is here for you.
