The Mariposa Group community

Our purpose is to create a living environment where individuals and families can thrive — emotionally, spiritually, and physically — while contributing to something larger than ourselves.

Core Values

Love: Cultivating compassion, connection, and care in all relationships.
Truth: Practicing honesty, transparency, and authentic self-expression.
Joy: Celebrating life as sacred, embracing play, pleasure, and creativity.

Love, Life, Sex - Positive Ethos

We see intimacy and sexuality as natural, life-giving, and sacred.
We welcome diverse expressions of love and relationship styles (monogamous, polyamorous, queer, exploring).

Consent, respect, and communication are the foundation of all interactions.

Our culture affirms the freedom to be authentic, while prioritizing safety, boundaries, and care.

Lifestyle & Practices

Shared meals, cooperative living, and ecological practices
Regular circles for authentic communication and decision-making

Celebrations of art, music, ritual, and seasonal cycles

Opportunities for personal growth: meditation, embodiment, tantra, and conscious workshops

Support for individual creativity, livelihood, and service to the wider world

We commit to continued learning throughout life.

Governance & Structure & Land

Decision-Making: Advanced decision making and/or sociocracy (to be refined together)
Membership: A gradual process with stages of visiting, residency, and deeper commitment

Contribution: Each member contributes time, energy, and resources according to their capacity while fulfilling a basic minimum contribution

Location: Beautiful rural land with green pastures, slightly rolling hill, forest, lake and stream. N.E. Texas 8 miles from 3-state border of Arkansas,

                 Texas and Louisiana.
Land:  We have 14.7 acres with lovely crystal clear deep well water and electricity already in and completely paid for.
            We are so lucky in that there is NO zoning in this county.  Literally we can build anything we wish.

Individuals, couples, and families who value community life

Explorers of love and intimacy who resonate with sex-positive values
