(1 review)1

The experience

Experience an older slower form of lifestyle, rooted in the pioneer experience, Viking heritage, and the traditional ways of New Brunswick. Try pumping water by hand, foraging plants, and mushrooms, build a yurt, experience life in a solar off grid homestead without light disturbance, pollution, or urban noise. Design some art projects on the land or create a project using hand tools. Live in the old ways, & some of the new, in a Viking longhall.

Program Details

Come from away, and feel open to live your creative fyre, as we design a new yurt stage and fit out the Mongolian home for habitation, leveled up.

The yurt was raised, by four of the village members and myself last year but the platform was damaged through the season. Once rebuilt we can install the maple tree floor, some handmade, rustic or traditional furniture, and comfortable accoutrements for living. Then we rig it to the existing solar system from the Viking hall. It is a sister to the cabin, and they share the outdoor kitchen.

The more rustic and do it ourselves the better, gleaning materials from nature like driftwood, branches, and stumps and sourcing natural items from craftspeople, markets or antiques. This can be the place for your dwelling here; stay for a weekend, a season, or longer...

The bathroom is a composting outhouse

Rules

At this forest paradise I maintain ethics of the Bronze 'Golden' Age where abundance, cooperative culture, companionship, reverence, and peace are on top of the hierarchy. If there is conflict, we should be able to move through those with emotional intelligence, heart share, and solidarity.
