CURRENT MISSION

to live sustainably in this new mexican paradise in return for help with building and gardening when the weather permits.

ABOUT ME

Shanti(in Sanskrit) means inner peace. Living off the grid on 10 beautiful acres in Madrid, New Mexico is my peace. Shanti is my home, but also a space where friends and family come to be a part of a shared vision....a place where all have a desire to live sustainably and for those who have a respect for this fragile land in the high desert of New Mexico.

PHILOSOPHY

i live my life as self-sufficiently as possible....using rain catch, solar and gardening....i live in an eco-friendly manner. i am a spiritual person, a vegetarian and i believe in the power of positive thinking....putting it out to the universe. i manifested this paradise and am happy to share with others all i've been blessed with.
