Description
Hi there explorers, here is a girl over coming limiting beliefs taking on 6 acres of beautiful land. Often holding crafternoons with friends to connect & create. I love alternative living, a creative, health and being outside exploring our beautiful spots up north. I'm spiritual being and animal lover with my dog Pickles & ducky I rescued recently creating this paradise and healing thru creativity of all modalities sanctuary!
It has self contained spaces, stunning view of ocean, not far to several walks, beaches and kerikeri but having own vehicle is essential to be independent.
Great place to base self. I love eating healthy, dancing, swimming, beach, walks, breath work, creating...I'm a wearable arts creator that does the markets with big sewing studio. I have 2 cabins and one half round barn out in takou bay and have my two containers studio wkshop for creating many things.
We now have wifi! And a pet duckling!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
A lovely space to base selves, come to events with me such as dancing, qigong, walks,beach or do arts and crafts or photography.
Help
There are many things to do varying from gardening, digging, clearing, cleaning and creating areas, arty projects too I create meaningful signs for around the land. I try to mix in some diverse tasks, but someone needed to roll hands up, get dirty and muck in. A person that can be self directed, has initiative as I need support on land so I too can get on with my projects. Independence and able to entertain selves is important as I'm not available to do this entire stay as I have many tasks to juggle also but love to have some space to have some creative immersion with the many creative projects i explore.

Accommodation
Cabin or barn with views and access to bathroom and kitchen. Lots of space to stretch and go into bush. Great if you have own accom and use facilities and have car is essential to go and explore around also but if happy to reset and craft and not need me to drive into town etc daily that'd be ideal 😀
