Why does  aim to provide these services:

Past Experience - We have been there & done that. We know what it is like to be addicted & not know a way out. No amount of trying helps. No amount of love from sincere & well meaning friends / family makes a scrap of difference. For some reason the cycle continues & yet again the lies are believed. One more time - I can't say no - it will be fun - I need it. It's easier to be blind to it & cintinue than get free! The torment of our past rings true - but so does the freedom of our present. It is not always easy - but at least we understand each other & the issues that come up. Sometimes freedom comes quickly - other times it is a long process - but every time it is real & fulfilling. An exciting journey that is individual and powerful.

Culture - We know all to well just how busy life can get. Ultimately our priorities determine where we spend time - and in the western culture much time & attention is spent on money & entertainment. Many children suffer from lack of input & love (which leads to addictions of all kinds) as both parents go to work not for the needed things of life - but for the faster car, bigger TV, better presents or nicer lifestyle. Entertainment is selfish & lacks intimacy. TV & Computers are the centre of the 'home' and true interaction is missed. Occasionally a culture 'shock' is needed where you can withdraw to the basics of life & spirituality to refocus.

Enviro-Need - Renewable Energy sources are much better for the environment and we really need remote power! The cost to get grid-fed electricity to some of the properties we have looked at is more than to set up Solar / Wind power. Of course the idea of be totally self-sufficent has an appeal though it may not be attained for some time... Most of the farm will have have power supplied by the Sun and Wind - including the individual dwellings for volunteers, rehab vistors and tourists. For the more daring we will have basic dwellings where you have to fend for yourself!

Sickness - From the past of abuse of drugs & alcohol amoung other things - now more than ever it is evident that our bodies need the true nutrition they were designed for. The lack of nutrients in todays fruit, vegies & meat in our opinion is a disgrace - not to mention the chemicals you eat with every meal... Not only do Organic Foods give us more health, energy & strength - they help us fight sickness too. For this reason they can be more value for money even though they may cost more money to purchase.
