Moya is an intentional living community based in the Appalachian Mountains of northwest North Carolina. Moya is the first land project sponsored by the Antara Network, a 501c3 that is committed to  …

Moya’s purpose is to bring people of all ages, incomes, races, genders, identities, and abilities together to live on land to heal personal, ancestral, and collective traumas by attuning to nature’s cycles through contemplative and embodied practices, ancestral wisdom, shadow work, food education, and healing art.

Moya will consist of permanent residents committed to living over ten years on the land, long term residents staying over two years, long term or seasonal guests, and visitors. Individual housing or accommodations will be centered on shared living, cooking, dining, and recreational areas as well as spaces for meditation, movement practices, art, administration, healing practices, rest/oration, and gardening.  

The core of the Moya community will be the continual investment of all residents on practices that maintain community cohesion, uplift individuals’ personal expression and purpose, and root these in life lived intimately in and with the natural surroundings. The use and development of these practices will form a basis or model to be shared with other groups looking for deeper and more meaningful community lives.
