I am really the best place embedded in the perfect space created by some seriously great folks. My journey has been slowly going backwards from full-on-well-established permaculture farm, sustainable living, growing and processing (almost) everything from food (fruit, veg, butter, cheese, flour), gas for cooking (biodigester), soaps, and structures (natural building, harvesting/dumster diving materials) - to urban farm where I firstly was sad eating only 20% from homegrown food, but uplifted by the approaches to move cities in a less ecocidal and more healing direction, and the beautiful souls that exist and persist the busy, mindless, consumption driven city - and now to this little gem hidden in a small village where we just made their first raised bed in their one year old garden! Dieu Anh and Loi, this lovely couple, are these "corporate refugees", having escaped the city to return to their ancestors land and slowly shaping this place called, Dream Up Journey. Here the philosophies are patience is love; there a no days "off" because humans was not given a switch but awareness to experience each day; we are not seperate from earth or each other. They were stamped as the crazy people of the village because they chose a bamboo structure rather than a concrete house, but last summer all the old people and children spent the heat of the day at their house. I am really crazy about this place, there is a peaceful waterhole with sweettasting water, I learn so much vietnamese culture, slowly gaining the vocabulary to speak about love, ecology and other awesome aspects of life, and get to put what i've learned into practice! they are going to give me a plot of the garden to grow what i want and keep a journal for a future succesor. It is so exciting, already have Phil sending me cuttings and Alicia sending me loads of seeds, my thoughts are to build some soil, grow food and incorporate the fish in the pond. The wifi is pretty good too so get to call home, and stay connected with loved ones. Really feel like my love for others and life is limitless. Appreciating all the people holding me in the space of healing, conversations about where and how to move into a uncertain future, people cheering and showing support on social media, and lots of love from intimate but faraway connections.
