our story

In a few short years, my partner, Monika and I have constructed a completely new life founded in love, harmony and trust. This has required much self-inquiry and a great deal of deep inner reflection... Letting go of old programming and belief systems including dysfunctional relationships (even ’Family’). This has not been easy, in fact, it has been very difficult but quite liberating.

We continue to grow lighter as we seek out and confront whatever it is that we are still holding on to from our past conditioning and trauma... facing it front on... making friends with whatever it is and then releasing it forever. Only in this way can we move forward and prepare for the coming ‘New Earth Living’.

Our website is a culmination of our own experiences of trial and error- as we’ve experimented with living our lives in integrity, truth, and authenticity... within ourselves, with each other and with all beings on this planet.

Along the way, we have rediscovered the absolute necessity for creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Having apprenticed on Natural, Organic, and Biodynamic Farms in Germany, we realized how imperative it is for humanity, if we are to continue to develop and grow and not just survive but ‘Thrive’, to nourish our bodies with healthy, nutritious food. And it all starts with the soil. We are dependent on the ‘Living Soil’ for our sustenance and the more we give back to the soil in the way of compost and natural, organic amendments the more nutritious is our food. We are offering here on this website, our experiences as well as the knowledge and wisdom of trusted co-creators of this arising ‘New Earth Living’. Join us as we all come together in realizing our true nature and build a sustainable world for all based on Natural Law. We are all ‘People of the Living Soil’.

Humble Beginnings

“Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bonds.

Inspiration for Changing Your Life!

My wife, Monika and I have just returned to the United States after having lived in Europe where we have been studying and experimenting with Natural and Sustainable Living. Through direct experience with small scale Organic, Natural, and Sustainable Gardening and Farming, we have come to the conclusion that healthy, vibrant, life giving soil is vital to the long term health and well being of humanity as well as all beings on Earth. We have purchased a small home with 2 acres of fertile, organic farmland in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia where we have begun to cultivate the land with sustainable methods.

Our newly constructed WhiteDuck Bell tent is now available for short term or long term rent. Please contact us for more information.

Monika’s Peace Garden is now completed. Open to the Public
