Talent, innate nature; intelligence, or natural capacity. Ingenium is small residential village located just two miles from both Nevada City CA and Grass Valley CA. We are on 48 beautiful, forested acres and have several cabins, a Common House, Art Barn, spa, garden, swimming pond and trails. We have the common goals of healthy and clean living, ongoing personal growth, cooperative communication and decision making, an absence of substance or media dependence, aesthetic individual and group environments, and holding a compassionate and supportive mindset. We are forming into a close, yet individually autonomous group - developing common grounds, a common house with shared facilities, shared studio and workshop space, special gatherings and collective projects; combined with small, individual homes, independent personal economics, independent spiritual persuasions and the like. We consciously acknowledge personal growth and the creative process vehicles towards enhanced sapience, specifically the development of heightened perception, sensitivity, intuition, insight and innovation. We recognize that inspiration derived from interpersonal connection and sharing creatively promotes deepened personal commonalities as well as physical, mental and emotional health. Our primary goal is to both model and practice a lifestyle where fostering our personal creative spirit, especially in the context of an on-site, supportive, like-minded group, encourages growth in our natural aptitude, social connection and holistic well-being.
