Description
I am an old-growth forest activist, queer-friendly, feminist, Buddhist, creative-arts therapist living a rustic, small footprint life on 3 acres of forest at the edge of a spring fed lake on the west coast of BC, Canada. This place is quiet and beautiful but very under-developed. I live with late stage Lyme Disease and have several physical challenges. I can host folks who need to retreat and do some inner healing. I am asking for helpers to help me build a permaculture garden and do odd jobs. This is a drug, alcohol, smoke free place. Internet and hydro available.
