From rolling farmland and lakes to top-rated schools, easy commutes, lower density living, and strong appreciation trends — this area offers the balance most buyers are chasing but rarely find.We'll cover:• Location & commute times (Ann Arbor, Brighton, South Lyon, Plymouth, Novi)• Lifestyle + outdoor recreation (Hudson Mills Metropark, Whitmore Lake, Independence Lake, trails, farms)• Housing styles, prices, and inventory across the 3 townships• Property taxes by school district (Dexter, Ann Arbor, South Lyon, Plymouth-Canton, Whitmore Lake, Northville)• Utilities, internet, and the true cost of rural Michigan living• Community events, local character, and what makes each township uniqueIf you're researching a move to Michigan and want privacy, space, and an easy commute — but not suburbia — Webster, Northfield, and Salem might check every box.If you're thinking about moving to Michigan anytime soon, whether it's one day or a billion, I help people do just that — and I'd love to help you too.

Spiritual Pathways for Environmental Restoration Guest Rev. Rachel Field, Program Manager, An Episcopal Path Spending time in nature, one sees God's creativity all around us, and so develops an appreciation for the divine intelligence behind the beauty, functionality and mystery of Nature. The Creation Story in the Book of Genesis tells of God creating the heavens, the earth, the fish, the birds, all the other creatures and, finally, man and woman. Children of the Cherokee Nation hear the story of Grandmother Spider, who, they are told, embodies the creative force of the universe, having woven the network that interconnects all living beings and symbolizes the importance of ecosystems, community and relationships. There is something to be learned from these and other creation stories. Reverend Rachel Field joins us to talk about our role in Creation Care. She is the Program Manager for An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice, an initiative equipping church communities to grow in knowledge and skills as they progress along the four-fold path: Prayer, Learning, Action, and Advocacy. Rachel explains these four pillars in detail and draws on diverse approaches for diverse contexts. Those walking an Episcopal Path commit to form and restore a loving, liberating, life-giving relationship with all of Creation, and they collaborate with other faith organizations. Rachel shares her deep wisdom and shines a light by framing our environmental degradation as a “spiritual crisis” and showing us the power of spiritually enlightened engagement. Rachel has more than 15 years of experience leading creation-centered retreats in the Episcopal Church. She is also Owner/Director of Heartberry Hollow Farm & Forest, which is a regenerative farm and retreat center in central Vermont. She holds a Masters of Divinity from Yale Divinity School and a certificate in Contemplative Leadership from the Shalem Institute. She is a member of the Clergy at Parish of St. Mary in Northfield, VT.
