Description
At the foot of King Kong Mountain in Changbin, Taitung, we bought a piece of land. It is not an investment, not a homestay, not a vacation, but a passion for physical, spiritual life and ecologically sustainable land. In the meantime, learn to take life and nature as teachers, observe yourself, and be clear about yourself.
We are creating a new Eco-Village.Our goal is to create a more meaningful, healthy and sustainable holistic existence by bringing together environmental, aesthetic and spiritual principles. Through shared land and housing, reduced material consumption and dependence on money, villagers will be able to devote their time and energy to developing the physical and mental well being and personal characteristics of its people. By sharing and combining our energy, talents and abilites we can create a vibrant and meaningful community which we hope can be a model in Taiwan for a more conscious life, where there is time to nurture the land and our fellow humans.
As our community is still in its infancy it is a very exciting time to be involved with many new projects on the horizon.
Is Changbin far? Some people say: because it is far away, it is the most beautiful.
Are you coming? We are going to build a secluded space with bamboo arches for artistic creation and utensil making, maybe weaving and dyeing or woodworking, maybe painting or sculpture, as long as there are artists and craftsmen in need, or Anyone who wants to live together can get a piece of belonging here, maybe this person is you.
We spend the pursuit of money, the months and years that occupy the essence of life, will there be nothing but white hair in the end?
Let's start, our own life~!!!
