a comprehensive dream

Christopher Alexander calls it unfolding: the gradual process that happens between the place itself and the people intending to develop it. The dreams that have unfolded for us here include:
  • A place of rest and refuge for missionaries and other kingdom workers;
  • A place for meeting and celebrating for various community groups;
  • A place where the existing historical buildings are preserved and re-used;
  • A place where nature is respected and optimal sustainability pursued;
  • A new village where beauty is reflected in the gardens and buildings;
  • A home for all kinds of local arts and a centre for skills development;
  • A place where children of all ages can feel free to play, rest, be refreshed;
  • An open-ended creative process in which new dreams can unfold...
