Reflections Retreat
Duncan, British Columbia,
Canada
(Cowichan Valley)
 Aloha, we are a musical couple with a seven-year-old boy living in the Cowichan Valley on 2.5 acres five minutes from the Cowichan River. The property has two levels, with a winter waterfall and creek. We are able to do a tenancy in common on our property and we are looking to share the joy and the karma yoga that the land provides. This property could easily feed two or more families.
There is zoning for another 1000-sq-ft home (legally), and we are open-minded about other options. We are getting the garden and some fruit trees going. We would like to have a music studio set up and are in the process of building a glorious treatment space for bodywork and meditation.
We love travel, the ancient wisdom of nature, music, dance, yoga, creative expression, surfing, river swimming, and play. We are also motivated and inspired to work and manifest our dreams.
The price to share this 2.5-acre property is $130,000.
Please contact us if you would like to connect about this. Namaste.
