Welcome to Moya
A sanctuary for healing, belonging, and community care
Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, Moya is an intentional land project where people gather to reconnect with land, lineage, and one another.
Here we explore movement, ritual, restorative justice, and play — reimagining what it means to live in right relationship with Earth and community.
Moya brings together people of all ages, incomes, races, genders, identities, and abilities to heal personal, ancestral, and collective traumas by attuning to nature’s cycles.
We do this through:
Contemplative and embodied practices
Ancestral wisdom and shadow work
Food education and healing arts
Rituals that honor both grief and joy
Moya is not just a place to live — it is a living experiment in how community and land can thrive together.
Moya welcomes:
Local community
Permanent residents committed for 10+ years
Long-term residents staying 2+ years
Seasonal guests and visitors
Facilitators and teachers offering workshops and gatherings
Shared spaces for cooking, dining, recreation, meditation, movement, art, and gardening are the heart of daily life. These spaces root our practices in intimacy with each other and with the land.
Why Your Support Matters
Moya is not just a gathering space. It is:
A home for ritual and play — fire circles, river floats, yoga, ecstatic dance.
A hub for collective repair — restorative justice circles, deep listening, and community agreements.
A living classroom — teaching the next generation to care for land, honor ancestors, and create communities rooted in justice and joy.
A refuge for many — accessible, inclusive, and welcoming regardless of financial means.
