About us:
After an exciting, but tough journey in business. I made the decision to connect with what truly makes me happy, nature. I left that world and have spent the last 5 years building the infrastructure, doing renovations and establishing the foundations for a self-sustainable, eco-friendly, nature connected lifestyle. With the hard work from my previous life/journey, I've purchased a spectacular 50 acres rainforest farm, with 20 acres of lush cleared land and 30 acres of unexplored steep forest. The original intention was to create a way of life that would enable myself, family, friends and the community to live and share a self-sustainable lifestyle. My parents moved down in their late 60's to help support the vision, bringing the vision closer into fruition, with the intention of the land to also help support family wounds.
In the recent years, my parents have joined the journey and vision to support it. Given the current state of the world, the vision has evolved and our goal is to create a conscious and magical space to heal and thrive, while inspiring others to transform their lives for sustainable living. Ultimately inspiring a new way of learning, living and experiencing. There are so many exciting projects I'm passionate about, the opportunity is limitless, there is a lot of work ahead.
Vision:
