For four years we have lived on a self built and retrofitted, mobile demonstration of sustainability. A former mountain transit bus transformed into a live/work space powered with waste vegetable oil, solar energy, composting, rainwater harvesting and space to implement an artistic practice, a homeschooling curriculum, and to rest and nourish tired bodies. This is a slow protest, realistic demonstration of off grid living and is aimed to be a catalyst to inspire social change.

Midtown 34th Street
We have been working away on our Midtown 34th Street project.
I believe we have finally figured out how to manage homeschooling, production work, gardening, building and contending with the administration of this project. To be honest it has been such an undertaking that there have been two or three moments where Nando and I have looked at each other and said "I quit."
Bus living is crowded, City bureaucracy is a headache, networking takes an enormousness amount of time and patience with four children is by far the most difficult lesson.
However, we have been fortunate to have great sponsors and donations to our project. Everything has been moving along smoothly. It seems we have found a place to build the community we all desired for so long and search for through our travels.
I'll post some pictures shortly.
Also, for local readers, join us on Saturdays from 10am - 5pm for our general volunteer day and then join us for Kundalini Yoga on Sundays at 10am sharp.
