***Myself***
I am born and raised in Nepal. I have been traveling to learn about sustainability and harmony for years now. In the process of learning, I went to India and Cambodia to learn yoga and meditation, and organic farming. Within Nepal, itself also, I went volunteering from farms to schools to transportation industries to factories to wood business to furniture and so on. I went working in US-based call centers and airline ticket agents and hotels.
I am interested in Science (what we call Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, commonly) and Spirituality (what we call the knowledge of the unknown, maybe Dark Matter/Quantum Thing/Space. And Yes! Human Things!
I am really looking for an alternative life/economy/government/education system.
And let's share other things when we meet.
***Parents***
My parents are from two ethnic groups (Mongolian and Brahman). They live separately in two different towns/cities now. Dad is into spirituality and is also into yoga and meditation. He makes herbs like tea, toothpaste, and some medicines. He doesn't talk too much.
Mom is into business and she owned a wood and transportation business. She is into Talk, Love, Care.
I visit both of them now and then.
I have two younger brothers, one is studying Geology and the youngest is a marathon runner.
You will meet them soon.
***Our Friends***
We have friends to help with Infos and queries in Germany, China, France, Sweden, and America if you need Help to reach here.
*** Now to The Project***
The Project is settled on a piece of land in Damak. We wish to make this place our community home/platform/start ground. I started this project to put things I learned and people I met in the process together. This project is formed with its heart and core in alternative sustainable and free-living together in harmony with Nature, Technology, and Human.
Our hope is to create a place with a sustainable economy; a place where we grow and store our own food, build our own houses (wood and clay research and workstation), practice yoga and meditation, promote art and crafts, make our own clothes and teach these to the orphan. Take what earth gives us. We wish to nurture a community that will not only help itself grow but its surrounding communities as well.
We are just starting, like only the second step.
The First Phase of the project started in 2016. Lots of traveling and sharing was happening to look for ideas and people.
We are on second now, coming together with people who believe in the project.
I got this land to use from family this June only, parents were using it. There was nothing but a rice field. So, together with friends and family, we are currently focusing on building some of our key necessities such as a kitchen, sleeping huts, water pumps, and toilet. We are also collecting various seeds of fruit trees, herbs, and flowers to plant and grow after the rice harvest in December.
Meanwhile, we are spreading ideas on the internet and doing small group events in Damak itself to collect alike minded peoples and friends like architecture designers, civil engineers, social engineers and networking, lawyers, permaculture engineers, computer and electronic engineers, and volunteers.
We want to keep designing the whole landscape until the rice harvest, which is December.
We are also collecting building tools and materials from people themselves. In exchange, we are providing yoga and meditation classes right now.
The Third Phase of The project starts in December 2020. We will open the platform to all the interested people around the world and start building and planting and teaching kids and many more. Keep Growing
The project is prospering by the hands of those who want to help and it will always welcome anyone who wishes to contribute, no matter how small or big.
Our goal is to reach out to people from all over the world; making the project a melting pot of cultures and perspectives.
We also wish to inspire a place where creative minds can come together and share their skills such as music, painting, filmmaking, photography, philosophy, etc.
***Start of The Day***(optional)
We start at 0500. We practice Yoga and Meditation with Kids in the Orphanage and finish at 0600-0700.
