My dear friends,

I thought you might be interested in this Abundance of Water Garden & Home eco webinar, created by my friend Alosha, which is starting online next week - for free: …

I hope this is a good moment to introduce you a new blog by my dearest friend Dr. Regina Jensen!

At a time like this it is essential that we have a forum to support each other and exchange information and call it Connected Living because that best…

Happy greetings to you all, beautiful people!

I too have had a long hiatus, I seem to remember something weird happening with money at some point... anyway, I have been enjoying reading my old posts and remembering where I was at, back in 2012!

If community spirit is still active I'd love to rejoin the wider discussions and learn and share (mostly learn!) with you again.

We have a baby now, live on the Gold Coast in Australia and are saving for land in Aotearoa New…

Last month I had a conversation with a lady regarding a situation about which I was aware of much. She asked what I “did”. Most folks talking about these specific topics would call themselves Intuitives, Reiki Masters, Readers, Clairvoyant etc. I said I didn’t have a label for my abilities and what I know. She asked how long I’d been doing “this”?  Since I was born….. It was obvious the woman was having difficulty putting me in a familiar classification box by my answers.

While I’m…

Those who know me or have been “following” me for years are also aware of my pursuit of a Tropical Spa Retreat. It’s concept and details were “downloaded” to me years ago (maybe 15) while still living in California. Since that time I have contacted thousands of people, researched extensively, traveled to many countries, considered numerous offers/possibilities and, so far, still not manifested this tropical sanctuary.

Obviously, we have many possible futures. Every action we take,…

And all that is gold does not glitter! Sit back and relax while I regale you with the ongoing tale of a Gypsy Wanderer from an intimate perspective.

Most people living “normal” lives cannot fathom the life I have been living since 2009. Personally, I don’t know how many years previous were preparing me for such either – perhaps since birth. Normal people, in this context, are those who subscribe to beliefs such as: You have to work hard at a job to have the things you want. Hard work…

For your inspiration: please enjoy these beautiful works of art by Russian woodcraft master (see the picture).

Alexander works with different types of wood: cedar wood (Pinus Sibirica), apple tree, elm tree, poplar tree, juniper tree, maple tree, birch wood and bark, he also works with woodknob!

Hello everyone! I present you with all of history in as few words as possible, from the beginning, to today and the whole future, and creating a genuinely new living creation with all of it. I will present here the Paleo Sanskrit sentences here, but I am now as we speak working on translating these in complete detail into English. Here are the 9+1 sentences, along with a picture showing the direction each of these are aimed at, and can be used to translate all languages. Joy and health to…

One of the memorable gifts I am infinitely grateful for this season is warmth! 80some degree days? Oh yeah! It makes such a tremendous difference in my life when I am in a climate that supports and revitalizes me. At the same time, it thrills me to hear about others enjoying their snowy and more “winter appropriate” weather. Different strokes for different folks or we’d all be crowded in the exact same place at the same time. I wish for everyone to have the lives of their brightest desires…

My dear friends!

January is a good time to make up your plans for the year. ) 

We invite you to Vedic Russia Ethno & Eco spiritual Tour/Retreat. Come and see the wonders of Vedic Russia, mysterious dolmens and unique Tekos school, join Vedic Russia festivals and gatherings and explore eco life-style of Russian off-the-grid family homesteads (Kin's domains) that have rightly been called the national idea of Russia ! 

A bargain:…

Initially I was going to start by saying I was throwing down the gauntlet as those were the first words that came to my mind. But the challenge I want to put out isn’t adversarial but part of my ongoing quest. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?! What would you do if you had an unstoppable drive to find a place you have a detailed image of in your mind but don’t know where on earth it is? Imagine you have to find this without money…but you do have internet access. If your response in deeper than a general…

Since I have recommended workaway.info many times in the past to an unknown number of people, I feel it appropriate to follow up. Knowing what I now know about the organization, I recant my recommendations and provide disclosure of disappointing practices.

A reminder to my ever faithful family and my new readers – as I know I am welcoming a few here…..I did not join workaway due to wanderlust or a passion for travel. It was to assist…

Dear friends, If you like holistic education and admire famous Tekos school (Krasnodar region of Russia) you would probably like to know what do the graduates and teachers do when they left Tekos school.

Meet Anna Pavlova! - till the recent time - one of the school's top persons and also former Tekos school educator, teacher, educattion courses developer, administrator and head of the International department.

Recently Anna has started a project called "Plenitude of the World"…

Hola And Adios

One of the most challenging aspects about my current chosen lifestyle is saying good-bye. Good-bye to people, places, experiences…. Definitely an effective way of learning detachment though.

Again I am at a loss for adequate words to express how incredibly grateful I am for the months I was privileged to serve a dear Soul Sister. It was one of those situations clearly “meant to be” as my life changed on a dime in a direction neither of us anticipated before we…
