Hi, I’m Nathan. My wife, young daughter and I have recently relocated to Kenya for a year for a project. We have come from Seattle where we had to say goodbye to communities and a region that we love without knowing when or IF we will be back. So I’m taking some time to develop some ideas, write about how we want life to be and formulate what comes next in a way that may benefit you as well. I want to come up with a simple strategy to live in a balanced way and do it within a community of like minded people. In my mind this has to do with putting people, places, shelter and ‘things’ in a perspective that brings freedom and not the oppression of being excessively burdened.
I’d like to collect and share architecture, aesthetics, designs, methods of construction, innovations, resources, geographical considerations and evaluations of social and communal environments. I say I want to come up with a ‘simple’ strategy. The strategy may work out to be simple but the outworking is necessarily complex. I invite you to join me in an effort to seek a more fulfilling way of living for ourselves and perhaps, along the way, for our own communities and the world at large. To this end I ask respectful and constructive input.
Thank you and welcome!
