I came looking (leaving the Corporate Rat Race) for a better way to work/learn/play. It is here (on this Island and at this School). Much more
is taught than just chisels, chainsaws and construction...
I will use the
knowledge I gained here as a guiding reference in the second half of my life. The past three months have been a blur because I couldn't wait to start each day- I want this feeling to continue...I love architecture, nature, organic methods of building and the satisfaction of seeing the results of your effort each day.-
