I get the sense that contributing to the community plays a large part in your happiness which doesn’t surprise me given the time you have spent in communes building Earthships. It seems like you have found your happiness in an Ecovillage before. You talk a lot about balance which is really a core principle of a healthy, happy lifestyle. Without the challenges and hardships that come your way, your brain won’t release a good amount of serotonin.

Thank you for caring about the earth, it’s always inspiring.
