a loving person who needs a unique structure to help others heal, renew, rest and retreat
a budding land developer (with the heart of an entrepreneur) who wants to build the smart way to rent unique dwellings for airbnb or a retreat center (rather than the same old boring buildings)
someone who is beyond ready to take your life back, isn't afraid of a little hard work, and knows that there is no 'right time' to get started
