Needs

For each zone and particular activities

There are three main ‘zones’ we see on the grounds:

• Cow Cuddle Zone / Entrance

• Forest Lodge (where we are currently sleeping)

• Narayan’s Lodge

Each Zone

A few essentials are needed for each zone:

• Shower or Potable Water Source or both so each area has easy access to water anytime day or night

  • Shower requires:

    • 1 x Propane Tank for water heater mechanism

    • 1 x Shower Curtain & hooks for privacy and hanging towel/clothing

  • Water Source

    • Narayan mentioned each zone having its own 250 gal water source & independent hose connected to the main water source

    • Ideally, we can get water purification filters attached to water hoses for each zone so we can have clean drinking water without the use of single-use plastics / water bottles.

• Flooring

  • Wood Chipper in full effect

    • 10W-30 engine oil

    • dry wood and other plant matter to turn into mulch for level flooring

  • Turf, Carpet or Linoleum rolls to lay atop level mulch flooring for hard tops

• Cooking Kitchen

  • 1 x stove

  • 1 x propane tank

  • 1 x stainless steel long table

  • 1 x sink

  • 1 x dish & utensil set

• at least 1 chair and table (desk) for writing, reading, lounging

• 3-5 shelving unit for storage

Food

Each week, a large bin filled with fresh local fruits (bananas, lilikoi, papaya, mango, grapefruit, orange, avocado, star fruit) from the farm, friendly-farms that we trade with (i.e. Ginger John) or the Hilo farmers market.

A Tea Kettle with filtered water to make fresh healing herbal tea throughout the day.

Yoga

At least 3 yoga mats (usually go with Gaiam) for folks that want to join in on regular offerings.

An extra canopy / awning to cover yoga/meditation offerings.

Media

For the design and development of new media, web flow:

• WiFi enabled cool, dry space

• Drafting table, the kind that tilt, can move up and down and afford plenty of space for writing, drawing, presenting

• Adjustable height ergonomic captain’s chair with armrests and proper back support

• Two high quality Yoga mats (usually go with Gaiam)

• We have a lightweight tripod and camera that can shoot just a few minutes in the sun. Given the environment here, would need a tripod with sturdier legs and a camera that can withstand the heat for longer shoots.
