Higher Ground the Natural Retreat

Hello, and Welcome to this Site. I am glad you stopped by to find out what Higher Ground is all about.

I will begin with sharing part of the Vision of Higher Ground with you.

I am the artist who had created all the works on these pages - all for One purpose and that is to bring into being a Low-cost or Free Retreat for those who need it. There seems to be a glaring lack of such places on our planet. Higher Ground will just be a small safe place to rest, without the stress of following someone's 'protocol' or 'structure' while you are trying to heal.

Higher Ground will be a place where religion or lack of it is not the issue - just a simple and natural place to come and to rest, or heal or Retreat. I do not yet know the location of where it will become a Reality.

I would like my artwork to support this endeavor. This is my way of returning to the world all of the

healing I have been blessed enough to experience here.

I've been asked for a short 'bio' on who I am as a disAbled Artist. Here are the details...

Artist's Bio

These are the things we have envisioned about such a Place.

Higher Ground the Natural Retreat as a Name.

What else would we call it? The Name originated from my friend David who shares the same dream. The way in which we met and have developed in our friendship since that meeting is quite astounding to me still. David is a Blessing too. He is also a Reflexologist and has helped me to learn that as well.

This Site has been brought into being for One Purpose. That is to bring into Being a Low-cost or

Free Spiritual(Non-religious) Retreat. A Safe and Nurturing Place that is actually affordable.

We do not think it 'Right' that most of the Retreat Centers found in the US or elsewhere are prohibitively expensive.

That leaves average, lower or middle income
folks without any option to effectively disengage long
enough to actually heal from whatever circumstances
they grew up in. Peace and Safety is essential for such an endeavor.

So, it is our Intention - our Mission - to find some suitable land
and build a bio-sustainable place in as much simplicity as can be
accomplished. Non-profit status will be sought for this endeavor.

We have in mind to build a series of Dome-Home structures and also to learn to grow our own food.

Bio-sustainability is a Priority.

Higher Ground will provide people with a long-term
affordable Retreat. We will be offering our
services to the HSP/INFJ communities as
well as to the general public.

In the Beginning of this - we thought a good plan may be to
purchase an RV and invite people to come and camp with
us if they want to in their own tents or RVs. That would be simple.

Meanwhile we are looking for a Permanent site with open or running water.

Anyplace NOT in the Desert will likely do fine. We envision a Place where the Environment is not toxic or intemperate.

So we are looking specifically for:

Prayer Support.

A self-contained RV - Older is okay and small is just fine - habitable and running is a Must. If you have one you would like to donate you would be able to receive an Income Tax Credit for doing so. Please eMail us for more information.

A bit of land with open or running water and deciduous trees. Oregon sounds like the best place to us so we are looking there first.

Like minded people to help bring this into being.

People interested in bartering for goods or services that will help Higher Ground come into being. This Website is actually being Redesigned by Artwithaheart.com in just such a Barter Exchange.

People who are able to volunteer time or services to help attain Non-Profit Status. There is only so much energy I have to spend living my life so I spend it carefully. We need help in these areas. Grant Writing and Non-Profit status are priorites.

Please feel free to eMail us with any questions or suggestions you may have. Thank You for taking the time to read all of this.

100% of any donation made will go towards the Retreat and is also Tax Deductible.

Peace be with you.
