Bird River Oasis

Middle River, Maryland,

United States

We have a beautiful, spiritual, organic waterfront home to share. We have a home in Middle River, Maryland and a dream of co-creating a mini-community of people wanting to explore the idea of rebuilding the earth, from the ground up, through grounding in self, grounding in nature, and grounding in community. An Oasis where one can come, sit on the pier, meditate, and ground in self and nature. An Oasis where one can come, tend organic gardens, and share vegetarian meals grounding in nature and community. An Oasis, where it is safe to explore those "yous" that have remained veiled and hidden and want to be opened and examined, grounding in self and life. An Oasis where you are welcome to create gatherings for celebration, teaching, arts, organizing, grounding in community.
