My dream has been to open a wellness center for over 7 years now. As I evolve and continue to learn I have decided I want to establsih a tropical, sustained Eco-Village/ Retreat. There are many places that offer similiar features that I would like to model my place after.
Focus Sustainable living Health- raw food nutrition, physical fitness (yoga & outdoor recreation) Spirituality & Self Expression/ Self Love/ Self Discovery/ Self Realization Nature- connection to the land through food & living environment
Features Off the Grid- solar power, passive cooling/heating, rain water collection & filtration, grey water system, composting system for toilets & garden clippings. Sustainable food with Permaculture/Organic Edible landscaping (surplus sold: co-op, farmers market, organic produce delivery)
Accomodations Tree house bungalows w/private outdoor garden showers Communal Area: kitchen, dining, media library, gathering room, yoga/massage deck, indoor shower/bathroom, laundry
Daily Services Raw meals provided Yoga Morning meditation/beach walks Massage Classes and Adventure Activites Sunset fireside luau celebration w/ live musical talent
Classes, Workshops, Training courses live food nutrition/purification & natural hygiene yoga teacher training spirituality / self empowerment Homegrown food self reliance workshops Feature guest speakers/ talent from around the world
Adventure Activities Nature Hikes (medicinals, edibles, tropical fruit/botany, wildlife) Surf, snorkle, kayak, swim Bike rides Zip line, paintball , skydive, parasail, rock climb Horseback riding
The first steps are: Intern at an established location to clarify vision and gain experience Establish a non-profit team & obtain grant writers Attract interested parties
This looks about where I started, but it just goes to show that fat inches and weight loss can be two different things. As I mention in my video, it’s impossible to lose more than one pound of fat a week. So, I am looking at a slow and natural evolution in my body.
Exercise
My goal is to have fun. I want to enjoy being active not dread working out! I am going simple again with:
walking daily 2-4 miles
sun saluations daily, I want to try this fierce flow ! core rhythms (this was a gift from a friend and I LOVE it). I fall in love with dancing again and again. 🙂
If you are running through life feeling overwhelmed and not really making the impact you know you want, or wishing you felt alive and filled with passion then you are going to LOVE me!
