Three Day Intensives
One Year Plan
Take a deep dive into manifesting the homestead of your dreams. We will create your master plan together, replete with action steps, process, amenities, cost, and take time-outs for hands-on examples of what you will be creating. We will cover the big picture to the nitty gritty. The cost of the three-day intensive is $2,500. You may bring a partner or a friend.
You will stay in a comfortable cottage beside the natural pool. Meals will be sourced from Whole Foods at your direction. In the evenings, we will socialize by the pool or with a fire. You will have access to trails, a pool, a pond, garden, badminton court, and hot tub. Transportation to and from the airport is provided at an additional $150. Internet is available through a Verizon hotspot at 20 megs speeds - sufficient to stream video. Trip will be available to you for follow-up calls as you proceed with your process.
