LIFE AT WALDEN
What will you find at Walden? Community on a small and intimate scale. Room to roam. Art to inspire us. Idyllic places to meditate. A group of people who think seriously about net-zero living. And a belief that we can all benefit by creating a space that brings us closer to nature … and to ourselves.
