ABOUT ME

We are hospitable and fun! We are currently homebodies, but that is because out home is awesome! We live in an intention and ecological community with lovely folks and tons of green space.

PHILOSOPHY

“if you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”
-Antoine de St. Exupéry
