    Description

    Live simply.
    Live gently.
    Walk well through life.

    I am a gardener, mother, grandmother, yogini and Wayapa Wuurrk practitioner.
    I dedicate several days per week to the service of my community running youth and well-being programs involving art, cooking, gardening and body-mindfulness practices.
    I invite those with genuine curiosity and a desire to live in a way which is more closely connected to nature, to visit this space.
    If you have skills in gardening, chainsawing (all cooking is wood fired at the cottage), composting, building, painting or working with children... AWESOME. There will be a mix of all of that.

    Meals are wholesome and organic, mostly home grown.
    Other activities will include seed saving and processing.
    Home medicine making.
    Going for pleasant wanders in nearby forests :)

    No conventional cosmetics or body care products are used here as all water is recycled into the gardening system.

    If this place sounds like it is on your path, please message me.
    No more time wasters please
