We are Lisa & John and we look forward to welcoming you into our relaxing rural space in the Waikato.
Our lives apart and together have been adventurous, full and have taken many turns. We have always maintained positive outgoing attitudes and a determination to move forward with optimism. Change drives us, along with new faces and new stories.
We are creatives and practical people in equal measures and this enables our healthy balance of alternative views grounded in pragmatism. The seasons are our calendar and the sun's rise and set our clock.
Previously we've lived and worked in different worlds. The corporate grind, the endless hours of self-employment and the stress of city dwelling. We have parented, sacrificed, gone without and worked hard for years. We have built a sanctuary and a life-style focused on peace, reflection and a little wisdom. It's a space now to share with you.
Our love of naturism, of being clothing free, symbolically unshackled from consumerism and false promises of happiness from 'more things', is deeply held. We value the moment we are in, a human connection with others, the change of seasons and feeling nature's elements that our environment provides.
Our personal relationship is strongly interdependent, as the saying goes we 'drink of the same wine but not of the same cup'. We deeply respect each other and one-another's freedom to experience life and people as they choose. For over 10 years we have embraced ethical non monogamy together which has, quite simply, been huge fun and kept us deeply connected.
Over the years we have learned some wise lessons and found a peace away from the 'standard narrative' regarding relationships that we are happy to share.
For clarity, we should mention we are not trained counsellors. Our purpose is not to fix broken relationships so we don't invite couples to visit. We are simply offering open, honest conversation inspired by our lived alternative perspectives for individuals with a curious mind.
Of course you may just want to relax with like-minded folks (like us) and have already found your peace in life - you are equally welcome!
We look forward to hosting you.
