Description: This is my dream of living in a self sustainable solar/wind/hydro powered living/work place where I and those who are like minded and interested in healthy living, cultivating one mind, body and spirit through martial arts, meditation and Holistic healing. I would like to have a greenhouse that can produce food year round and a spa with a pool, hot tub, sauna as well as a gym and space for practicing freestyle mixed martial arts and meditation classes. We shall also provide massage, aromatherapy, foot and hand detox, nutritional counselling and personal training. Space will be provided for those how wish to stay with us as well as camping. I would also like to have a stable for horses where we can train people to ride and offer trail rides. The land for which to build our temple must have forest, river and waterfall included. In the forest I will build some tree houses for people to stay in and a circus play ground of trampolines surrounded by nets and rope swings. A arena for putting on shows such as jousting, sword fighting, fire spinning, that can be covered and heated for the winter. A Jedi training program will be offered where all of the above will be available as well as lightsaber fighting and progressing through a graduated skill progression to mastering one self and reaching one’s potential. We will do show’s for festivals and party’s as advertisement and practicing under pressure to hone ones skills of focused thought. I would like to have a Samurai style archery range and a gauntlet through the forest on horseback were those who are trained can compete in speed and accuracy games of skill. Funding will be needed though grants, business loans and finding investors. I have been studying martial arts since I was 11 and spent 10 years working as a professional horseback rider, jousting and sword fighter trainer/performer at Medieval Times Toronto. The last 2 years I have spent studying Taoism, Buddhism and practicing Reiki, yoga, samurai style sword play and massage. I am 29 years old now and am ready to make my dream a reality though the help of those who can visualize this endeavor and help to bring it to fruition. Thank you for your consideration,
