Groundswell began as an intentional community rooted in queer chosen family and committed to environmental stewardship. Our values include heart-centered process, embodied spirituality, and reverence for the natural systems upon which all life depends. Currently we have six full members, who are owner/managers of the Groundswell Retreat Center. We are a consensus-based, worker-run cooperative. We host queer community gatherings, rent our facility to other groups, and offer special opportunities to members of our Cahoots program. We live across the creek from the retreat center, where we care for a variety of farm animals and garden plots. Our extended community includes a handful of folks who also live here and help us operate the business and tend the land.

magical night in the woods
Groundswell is absolutely magical! I wish we had come when there were more people as it sounds like such a great inclusive community where people eat together, have bonfires and work on the property together. It is also perfect for bringing a group of friends together as the cabins are stacked with bunks. There are also some cabins with bigger beds and good for couples I think as well. The cabins are very well decorated and have books for reading, art and include a heater as well - which saved me as I forgot my sleeping bag (can get a bit chilly at night here)! The hot tub was also amazing and they have a great shower/bathroom facility for all the campers. We didn't get to see the pond but I am sure it is a beautiful place to hang out and read. Since we only had one night there we stuck around the town and dad a great time there! There are lots of places to go wine tasting and shop around. We had an amazing breakfast at the Boonville General Store- amazing bacon and carrot bread!

My friends and I had an absolutely magical time staying at Groundswell. We didn’t get the chance to meet Justin, but Sprite hosted us and was very kind and responsive to our questions, as were other residents we met. The cabin was so cute and cozy, the queer summer camp of our dreams. We’re already ready to plan our next trip. So grateful such a healing and safe community space exists for queer nature time!
