It has been such a joy: and we’ve deeply appreciated the richness of Ratnavandana’s experience and teachings...

Their vision is to build a new type of community, where 20-30 households create a beautiful place with a mixture of dwelling types all benefiting from shared facilities and minimal impact on the earth’s resources.
