Description
Our project is a registered not-for-profit circa 2005. It is an eco-lodge and retreat centre located on a 5-acer parcel of land located on a terrace of The Salmonier River Valley at the head of St. Mary’s Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. We provide off-the-grid facilities with microhydro, solar and/or wind turbine on site. The focus is on sustainable living in Nature utilizing locally available resources. We host small-scale retreats, and work-away programs for those who want to deepen and learn natural building techniques and self-sufficiency. The project is designed to help connect people with nature, spiritual practice and alternative living.
Looking forward to connecting :)
