Welcome to our Parable of the Sower Cooperative!
Our mission
Parable of the Sower Intentional Community Cooperative mission is to develop itself as a model for black women housing worker-owned intentional communities that provide holistic services through organizing, housing and health services while assisting in alleviating stigmas through community supports, sustainable economics, political education and holistic healing methods.

Our values
The Parable of the Sower Community (POTS) is a black women's housing worker- owned intentional community cooperative that came out of the Free Marissa Now Movement. We are committed to land and liberation for seven generational planning through autonomy, democracy, equality and solidarity in our work, home and community by building the first Intentional Community in 2019 and then four more communities by 2034 as long as the sun shines, water flows and grass grows.
