Dear "Permies",
I just discovered this site a couple of minutes ago. A big thank you to whoever created it
I am a Vaisnava ( bhakti yoga ) monk and kirtan musician
I am planning to move from London, Ontario and have been considering the Durham / Dundalk regions because they offer subsidized housing for a bachelor or if I'm lucky a one bedroom, but I am not familiar with either of them, and am trying to get a sense of what these places are like, how long they take for a drive to Toronto, Owen Sound, etc... I notice they each have a little over 2000 residents.
Do both towns have a public library ? What are the closest Farmer's Markets ? Does Durham and Dundalk both have food stores and health food stores ?
I am currently enrolled in a Four Season
Permaculture Course Forest
Gardening with Shantree & Lorenna Kacera at www.thelivingcentre.com in Lambeth, and would like to have a garden plot to grow some organic food on.
Ideally, I would like to help facilitate a spiritual community based on
sustainability with facilties for personal growth, higher consciousness, ayurveda and education
I am looking for a region of natural beauty and tranquility of walking trails in forests or near bodies of
water
I am looking for a village where there are drinking water sources that will have the least amount of GMO agricide
runoff and similar other poisons.
I am trying to get a sense of where I will find a community of progressive minded
people who are
vegetarian / vegan, and who are into sustainability and yoga
Is anyone out there familiar with either community of Durham or Dundalk, or know of other villages in the area where there might be like-minded people to connect with ?
Thank you very much in advance for your response
With gratitude,
Gaura Das

Who created this site ? I want to thank them : )
