Hoping to find a place, and I thought, if enough of Us here can agree on a plan, to help me get to “The Place”, I will then do everything I can to help realize the plan in full. As of now, I have nothing… nothing but time (kinda) and 53 years of life experience (and then some) I want nothing more than to live off the land, as much as possible… I only need to get to “There”
So, who has land (developed), and who has a vehicle?
My dream is to have a medi-spa/healing sanctuary with a community garden and a chosen family like situation where we share resources and help support each other in our journeys. Moon cycles and ceremonies/celebrations are important to me and I wish to help people be well with my Eastern Medicine skills; acupuncture, massage, potions, lotions, oils, herbs and stones. I just graduated with my master’s in the field and am studying for board exams right now. Once licensed, I am my only limitation, and I would like to do amazing work helping people be well. Sail my ship with me?
Potential site: 247 and 257 Evans Street
