Internet not available, cel phone service spotty. A place where we reconnect to nature.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The house and surrounding land are meant as a meditative space, where we learn to be at peace with nature and ourselves. This is a place where people can unplug from the intensity of our current/demanding lives. We will have family meals, and work as a team on projects around the property (from organizing, to implementing food forest design, water distribution and harvesting, and natural building construction and repair). The atmosphere is one in which we all contribute at the pace that fits us best. Food provided is vegetarian, but we don't mind any food diet. I believe the best place gets created through continuous input of diversity (diverse ideas, diverse creations, diverse backgrounds), and by hosting people my intention is to bring the benefits of this diversity in this space. I am adaptable and appreciate many points of view.

  Can possibly accept pets

  Dogs are probably fine if not aggressive. I also have two friendly dogs, but will need a bit of an introduction to other animals (I am not worried though). There are two large sheep herds around with their dogs, so will need to keep a watchful eye on the dog if walking around with no leash.
