  • Description

    Description

    We are a conscious and diverse off-grid community. We host and facilitate different not-for-profit wellness retreats and conscious events, workshops, and ceremonies. We all have our own specialties and work- counsellors, builders, event planners, teachers. We are work away from our 'day jobs' building and expanding our gardens, dwelling places, and community spaces. We attract children and elders, artists, musicians, builders, makers, nerds, and all varieties of genders and benders who are passionate and love to create and gather and share in a non-profit economy.
    Our overall aim is to eventually be self/community-sustaining, in celebration and connection!
    We play a lot of music and love to dance!
