Co-create a little sanctuary in Rawene village, New Zealand

Details

• 

  Description

  I am a multi-creative/alternative healer/masseur, a globalite living in Rawene, Te Taitokerau (The Far North). I am restoring 1000m2 land in the village into a little sanctuary. It has an ancient sacred puriri tree and wonderful water views. Co-create organic vegetable gardens, landscape, plant natives, help with light building projects, be creative with local bamboo, and most importantly be delightful mindful/aware company. This sacred place is drug/alcohol free and vegetarian. Set up is basic: 3 small cabins in progress, a green house with timber floor, a caravan, decks for yoga, outdoor bath/shower, composting toilet on a seperate greenhouse. Village has 2 food shops, 2 cafes, a gallery, 2 gift shops and a fish 'n' chips shop... and the ferry to Kohukohu, another quaint village. Swim at stunning Omapere beach (25min by car) , or in the harbour (7 min walk). I work/attend conscious festivals over summer, you are welcome to tag along (I can get you discounted tickets). I have lived a very unconventional life, lived in various places around the world. I am gay so just that you know. It should not matter, but I know it still does. So a special welcome to gay/ queer travellers.
