  • Description

    Description

    I live boat access deep in the coastal wilderness of BC. This is year 45!
    I am a homesteader, mystic, body worker, guide and meditator. I m interested in having some company and sharing my space, looking for someone with similar interests. I could use help with cooking, trail maintenance, and general homesteading projects. This is deep waterfront self sufficient self employed living, in the beauty of nature, with 45 years of on-site momentum.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I have been coastal homesteading for 45 years so can easily share what this involves. I have also been studying and practicing Chinese medicine, massage, and meditation for my whole life, and I am a very Indipendant thinker.
    I hope that in hosting you I will enjoy sharing what I have learned, and learn from you as well. I enjoy being around inspired creative people, and it’s fun to share the beauty and freedom of the place I call home.

    Help

    Ideally you are interested in bodywork and health sciences, including meditation and yoga, as these practices are a big part of my life and every day, and I’m hoping that we can both contribute toward this. Projects vary according to weather and inspiration. Trail maintenance and creation is a likely focus. You will have a separate building to sleep in, and meals can be separate or shared. I hope you know how to cook! I do, I anticipate that we would mostly work together on whatever we are doing.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I have a small floating cabin for guests to enjoy, and generally do my own late morning breakfast, a shared light snack mid day, and then a shared dinner. I can do the dinners but would prefer sharing this. I lean toward keto vegetarian organic, minimizing carbs, sugar, junk foods…

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    This is coastal wilderness with all transportation done by boat. I have kayaks and a rowboat for you to use. I also have a powerboat which only I am licensed to drive. I have several forest trails as well, leading to covered seaside shelters, a cliff top lookout and inland lake.
