 I have had a long time dream to create a Green Sustainable Learning Center with a natural spa.
Some of my ideas are visible on my website at:
www.greenretreat.com
I envision land that has multi-funcional uses to be a learning educational center and a rustic retreat for guests in nature:
A Green Learning Center for teaching guests about sustainable farming, cooking, canning, drying and cultivating plants and herbs.
A rustic retreat for guests to relax in a wood fired sauna and snorkel hot tub with a solar shower.
A natual spa with therapeutic massage, body wraps and salt scrubs offered daily.
Daily well being classes of Yoga and Nia dance instruction offered twice daily.
3 gourmet vegetarian meals served daily.
small Earth cabins made from Cob, Straw bale, tree house, each with a guest theme.
Teaching green building.
A Conference center for educators to rent for their students that offer lodging, meals and spa services.
Call if seriously looking for community, building a life together and learning how to be sustainable!
