After 14 years of patience and persistence, I am closer to being successful in my life vision project.
Thank you to two of my dearest friends that I am blessed to walk this planet with, I have received a donation of enough money to now go and buy two hectares in the Sierra of Oaxaca, where I always imagined the project to take place. I have done my preliminary work and training over the years and have enough knowledge on the matter and all the right contacts to make it happen as soon as I know which part of the Earth needs me to be her guardian.
This year is destined for answering to the land’s call and purchasing the right to be on it, develop it with Permaculture design principle and live there peacefully, receiving people in the years to come who are seeking to learn about Natural Building, Community living and who are also looking for a place to retreat to and do personal work.
I am building up a web page with a blog to inform people interested in this project’s development, as well as a donation system, for receiving any additional help people want to provide along the way.
I am currently starting to write a more detailed description on the different phases of the project so to give a clearer idea of the short-, medium- and long-term vision of how I see it in the NOW.
