    Description

    Kia Ora, I am MokshaJoyJoy and live in a beautiful foodforest in the making. My goal is to live a self-sustainable lifestyle in harmony with nature. It's been 4 years sice ive been develloping the forest and it's been a rewarding journey which I feel I can share with the world now. I would love to invite people that are interested in harmonious natural living, connecting with nature and oneself. My little paradise is there for people to retreat from the world and connect with oneself. Devellop spiritual awareness and inner peace.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here you can learn about self sustainability, how to build your own homestead, grow food, maybe we can go sailing on my little boat, etc.. But most important is that you can work on yourself and find yourself at peace with all that is in the golden moment. I can offer help in your personal devellopment, being spontaneously creative with music or any artform you feel like exploring... The place I offer holds space four you to simply be yourself. We are simply living together and enjoying simply being. I encourage you to be fully you :). The jobs will help you being grounded and relax in the golden moment of your evernew unfolding infinite potentiality :). That is a lifetransforming experience which i'd love to share with the world. I myself enjoy having beautiful people around and seeing them transform into the best version of themselves. It's the joy of life :).

  • Help

    Help

    The forest needs a little help from us humans in the form of mowing and mulching. There is the veggies to grow, fruit to harvest and preserve, there is cooking and lots of eating :). There are the housechores and for stronger people there would be firewood chopping , treepruning and helping me occasionaly with building projects.
    The lifestyle we live is easy going, and I trust you can manage your own time. I'm happy when the daily tasks are maintained and I fully encourage you to take time for yourself and grow in personal devellopment. I am open to hep you trough conversations, guidance, meditation ,yoga, etc.. The environment is beautiful to unwind and conducive for introspection. There is the forest, the river and lots of walking tracks...
