There are several advantages to living off the grid but the four most important ones were self-sufficiency, financial freedom, a healthy lifestyle, and environmental benefits. To understand the lifestyle better, here are its pros and cons: The perks of living off the grid To put it simply, off-grid practitioners like Jake and Nicolle made the conscious choice to live a life independent of using public utilities supplying water, fuel and electricity.

I look forward to sharing more of this journey with you as my path unfolds. I’m uploading photos from the last few days in this post and I have uploaded my Patrons only Naked Poem reading on my Video page. I try to shred raw and real moments with you beautiful people. I tend to get a tad nervous on video, so I stumbled on a couple of my words, but decided to stick with the original recording so it’s more authentic and unpracticed. I asked my good friend and blog reader “R Jr.” to help me choose a focus for today’s video. I managed to sneak a few moments for myself. Today the drip edge and membrane for the living roof on the dojo are being installed. I am forever grateful to everyone who made this possible. He lovingly calls my studio the “Goddess Dojo”. My brother-in-law and my sister built the arbutus cabin and my longtime friend and lover who is an experienced builder with a focus on natural and sustainable building did the lion’s share of the work, on my studio. If you have ever taken on a building project before you’ll know how daunting it can be. So now that both spaces are complete I will likely create content in my studio and blog in my living space (Arbutus Cabin). You’ll be happy to know (if you like reading my blog that is, lol) that my kitchen/living room space (photos to come) has Wifi. In addition, because my new studio/bedroom/glass house is off grid, there’s no Wifi. I apologize for turning my energy inwards but I have been a very busy woman. What a journey the last couple weeks have been.
