  Description

  A rural peaceful community. My husband, Gordon and I are located on the tidal Black River which runs into the Atlantic Ocean. We are learning ways of sustainable living, maybe we could be mutual teachers. We live on 6 acres of treed land, one acre of gardens. A 2 bedroom comfortable house overlooking the river, watching the eagles soar. We facilitate drum circles using mainly djembes and engage in music jams in our music studio. Boating when tide and weather permit.
  We love to give in community. Consciousness and fun, our ticket to personal freedom
