  Help

  We would like to build Indigenous native style bangalos or wood houses. So we appreciate your skills and exchange of energy.
  
  Besides, our vision is to reach a self sustainable state where we will be growing all our food in the land, and making jams, mollases and other goodies for the winter season.
  
  We love medicinal plants and all other types so we're going to be creating a Flora section exposing a sacred plant nursery.
  
  We are currently using small solar lighting and candles. But eventually we will be developing more our solar power system for electricity.
  
  We appreciate meditative lifestyles as well as yoga, art and music..
  Music instruments are available (oud, guitars, indian drums, and didgeridoo)
  
  So we are going to build a lovely meditative space where art and yoga workshops can take place.
  
  We're open minded and free for any new Harmonious ideas 💚🌱☀️
