Description
The farms consists of the retreat (next to Aya Rock) and the Public Creative Space. It was born from the desire to create a place to Expand Life Force Energy. It means Expansion of Lifeforce. The land itself is a sacred space containing ancient cave paintings and represents a gathering point to expand and celebrate our unique gifts, talents and experience the joy of life. It took 5 years before the right land found me and now the dream of creating a place for deep connections and expansion is unfolding.
The Public Space symbolises a space for free expression, creativity and expansion of creative energies through modalities like movement and dance, meditation, music, art, play and more.
