Cambia Community

Cambia is in the process of creating a community consisting of 7 to 24 individuals who prioritize high levels of sharing and connection. Inspired by the surrounding nature, they aim to establish a human habitat that reflects the beauty and complexity of living systems. The community seeks to intertwine reason with intuition, aesthetics with efficiency, and emphasizes personal growth through experience, mentorship, and education. Positioned within a thriving cluster of income-sharing communities, Cambia represents a viable, regenerative alternative to mainstream living, with the intention of strengthening relationships between existing communities.

Cambia is characterized as a handcrafted commune, contrasting sharply with the larger and industrially focused Twin Oaks community located nearby. While Twin Oaks encompasses extensive industrial spaces including warehouses and production facilities, Cambia offers a more intimate and human-scale environment. The community features artistic elements that are often tiny and temporary, emphasizing the beauty of craftsmanship. Handcrafted details such as doorknobs made from twisted branches, pebble and clay floors, and salvaged redwood around communal areas contribute to the unique character of this stepping stone commune.

A guiding principle at Cambia is to make things beautiful whenever possible, as architecture shapes culture. This philosophy influences every aspect of the community, from functional buildings to landscaped outdoor play spaces, integrating aesthetics with practical use.
