Nice to meet you (u)
u r wonder wanderful!
My situation got so bad that I really needed a way out - I just couldn't see myself staying in a place of internal torture even with a good salary and benefits.
I finally had a conversation with myself and asked my inner child what we really wanted to do for the rest of life.
It was like the matrix in front of me as all of my past experiences and skills that I had developed along with all of the unfinished dreams and back-burner passion projects came together to complete a puzzle for this new life shifting gears in a major way.

I had never lived in a rural area, but the yearning for something different was so strong.
I had to disconnect to reconnect!
I never knew I would love chickens so much or have 15 donkeys that I cherish!
​
I didn't realize that I was probably an insomniac my whole life until I started living away from all the lights & sounds of society into the realm of the natural world.
I knew it was going to be a tough road, but I was so miserable that I felt that I could either stay in that H.O.V. lane or gather all of my grit to start over on the unpaved, unforged path.
It took about 2 years for the fog to clear as I worked on myself, on a start-up creative residency/retreat space, and on the land in general.
You don't have to take the drastic move that I did to walk away from everything and find yourself somewhere in the countryside. Maybe there's a spot in between.
​
If you are ready to make that leap, let's connect.
​
If you are feeling like the inner child is speaking to you and wants to reconnect with some dreams you put aside, let's connect.
​
If you are so worn down by the hamster wheel, the proverbial h.o.v. lane you can't get out of, or even just tired of the pace and sounds of urban/suburban life, let's connect.
Something inside of me just needed to be in a more natural environment, to escape city life.
But even a dose of nature immersion can help you if you don't want to take the giant plunge that I did.
Try it out!
Not everyone wants a full time life in the countryside. But you can have the experience.
Coordinate your solo getaway today and we can work together to make your first step plans for getting out of your own h.o.v. lane.
​
Experience nature immersion, homestead life, Forest Bathing, and what a disconnect to reconnect getaway can do for you!
