The sign from the previous post is a reminder to the members of this community that it is COMMUNITY that gives them their strength. The positive energy of this particular village and its naturally nurturing abilites are described on their website:
"Innisfree Village, a residential community with adults with mental disabilities, is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Coworkers (residents with developmental disabilities), volunteers and staff create a dynamic lifestyle on 550 acres. Located near the center of our community are eight homes, a community center, weavery, bakery, woodshop, office, and gardens. Innisfree is dedicated to providing a lifesharing home and work environment in an atmosphere of beauty, warmth, and respectfulness. All community members are valued and all are encouraged to explore a meaningful and challenging life."
