I have been teaching for about 7 years now and off grid Permaculture homesteading for 13 years as a child and 15 years on this homestead.

Perhaps you could share more details of exactly what you do in those 4 days?  Permaculture is... just a bit broad.

A space of love Homestead has everything in it created with love in connection with your source. It is created for yourself and your loved ones. The wildernest is a sacred place in the wilderness where you can live in harmony with the earth.
