Feed Your Head in Arlington has a drum circle every 2nd Saturday of the month. There are fire spinners, belly dancers and lots of fun. All ages are welcome. We also have guest artist that perform prior to the drum circle.
Event is hosted by the Rural Dallas Ecovillage Meetup Group. We are ready to buy land--or at least put an option on land and do further due diligence. There are two ways to participate in this sustainable way of living in this area of Hunt County east of Rockwall.
1. You can buy land with the ecovillage, close at the same time, and be neighbors of people who share green living goals that include sustainability and other permaculture principles--a loose connection of neighbors that won't be using Roundup on their land.
2. You buy land in the ecovillage and participate in an off-the grid life based on permacutlure principles and practices.
We can compare the two--what is similar, what is different, estimated costs, etc.
