Foot on the Path, and sharing what I know about sustainable architecture, agriculture, and spirit from 33 years in Asia. A walk back in time.
A Design in #Kerala India
Ayurvedum at Sreenilayam
I designed this #Ayurvedic Center based in the “Vastu Shasta” principles. A wholistic approach to all of Life, and the life that lives in it.

“ZAYAT” - A PLACE TO REST
In #Burma, on every road, path, and cow cart trail…there are well placed “Zayats”……Places to Rest.
Each one has a structure under the shade of trees, and ceramic jars of water for people to drink. EVERY WHERE YOU GO, THERE IS A ZAYAT.

Motorcycles and Rhinos
Exploring #Chitwan National Park in #Nepal, and took a tiny little path down to the river. Literally ran straight into a Rhino. Somehow the Rhino got between me and my bike. Ha!!!

Sangat Island, #Palawan, the Philippines.
I quite literally lived on a deserted island. This island. No one knew.
I can confirm that living on a deserted island, is actually all it’s cracked up to be.

One of my greatest friends and teachers in life made me a slingshot. A slingshot is an essential part of life in Burma. My dear friend died, but I still have the sling shot. It needed repairing, so his son and wife did the honors.

I don’t own a phone or a camera. Pictures of me are rare, but here are two with good friends on motorcycles in #Nepal.
Get out there and see things for yourself. Leave the phone and the map behind. Ask directions…..

#motorcycle ride through the #Himalaya.
I’m never lost, and I rarely look at a map. I have not owned a cell phone in 7 years. I would rather ask directions.
I like to bring a map, just to wonder……”Hmm, where am I?”

Starting trees in a desert. Watch them closely. Love them. Nurture them.

The Old Fashioned Way
Our Vihara Valley Farm is in the Dry Zone In #Bagan , #Burma. Famous for growing peanuts.
We grow #organic #heritage peanuts, and then cold press them just like you see in the pics. Every part of the process from soil, seed, and oil we do by hand.
*plus a cow!!!

VIHARA VALLEY FARM
I’m dedicated to the “4 Requisites”: Food, Shelter, Clothing, Medicine.
The essentials for all beings.
In 2011 I acquired a beautiful and ancient valley on the #Irrawaddy River in #Bagan Bringing hope and life, to a barren land.

THE WAY WE MAKE THINGS
A Theravadan Buddhist #Temple, #Monastery, and #Retreat Center I designed in the hills of #Bali, Indonesia.
My clients were hermit monks, and we lived together in huts in a cemetery. A simple life, to inspire a simple design.
Ideas come from
Everywhere.

Outside of Bagan, Burma….
In the village to prepare for the “Sa Ba Dae” (moon) festival.
This village grows peanuts, and it is harvest season. Everyone takes part.
This is the Dharma is action. Being lived.
This is Truth.
We are of the Earth. Being.
