Description

Hi!
I´m Dina. Originally from Latvia, having lived in a few countries with different kinds of experiences, the most impactful of which has been over the last nearly 3.5 years in Canada on an organic farm nearby the former town of Lytton, BC (the town has perished in flames in June 2021). This has changed me and my life for which I´m so grateful. This place and the people have become my closest family and I am so grateful for having been able to call it home.

I used to say I wasn´t into farming, and now look at me, enjoying being in the garden. The experience of homesteading is absolutely invaluable. I´ve gone through all the seasons and it took me some time to acquire and enhance my farming skills and I'm still learning.
Our conversations evolved around spirituality and metaphysics, astrology, herbs and natural living. I’ve started learning astrology and am making tinctures and herbal teas. One of our latest discoveries was electroculture that showed incredible shifts in energy and change in plants growth on the farm.

There were sheep, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, alpacas, guardian dogs and a cat here. My friends taught me using alternative ways of healing animals and this shows the empowerment we have over our health, mindset and lives.
It´s been all about healing and growing spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally, taking responsibility and walking life in integrity and living in the heart, self-empowerment and our bodies´ and spirits´ abilities to heal ourselves, embracing healing through going within, applying healthy diet and natural products.

I used to live in Spain before that, having spent 6 years in Barcelona, having worked in a call center where I applied my “high-tech”, languages and communication skills. I was interested in some new age practices but have later quit everything that would be an outside distractions to rather go within.

Before that I lived in the Netherlands for 9 years. Have done my international business studies there, had an interesting work being involved into working in administration, marketing, interpretation and personal accompaniment of oncology patients in a German clinic. Was married for a while and then the time was to move on.

Before life took me to the Netherlands I lived in Latvia having my ups and downs at home and at school, sharing life with friends and gaining my first work experiences and working out what I wanted in life. I had never imagined leaving the country I loved and my life making many interesting turns. Now I am ready to to find my new tribe of a like-minded community where I could apply what I’ve learned and continue growing myself and growing my own food.
