Buona domenica, all on Nostr! Many blessings on our day of rest πŸ™ #happysunday #goodweekend #slowliving image
Appreciating the wildness of our mountainside land, as the weather shifts into deeper autumnal rhythms... We're able to see much better the contours of the hillside, as our trees shed their leaves and carpet the forest floor in new colours...

Extreme inspiration from our land, as we symbiotically reconstruct the natural shelter which is on it.

Beautiful process of finding each Right one, to fit into the next πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ’™ #homesteading #naturallaw #creativeliving #slowliving image

A new post about our #sovereignhomestead is up on the Hive - "I love that we are in this dreaming space, of inventing a new kind of home, one that we have not really seen yet, but have a strong sense of wantingness towards. And I love our shared understanding of what is important, and what is less so; we absolutely do not want a conventional electrical supply or infrastructure. Nor a conventional water supply! Nor conventional cupboards and storages spaces… I made a wooden bed frame that we may bring with us…" Read the full post here: https://ecency.com/hive-114308/@clareartista/hovel-sweet-hovel image
