Update on TerraSante Village...

TerraSante Village and Harmony and Health have successfully negotiated the Pima County process for Conditional Use permit, so now we have official paper existence at TerraSante Community.  A master plan for development at TSV and H&H is mapped out.

Over the next years we will be building 10 small earthen casitas for residents and guests, of variable design.  We have initiated a contest with nominal prizes, for designs that are earthen, smallish (240 ft2), and free of grid tie.  Over the summer we plan to finish the first of 3 greenhouses at TSV, this one being to provide seed starts to the garden for fall/winter.

July 27-30, we will be harvesting tipi poles around Flagstaff AZ... contact Bruce if you care to join us.

Thanks for all your help and support,
Bruce

Dear Bruce,

Congratulations on the permit from the county! We are so pleased for you!

Mary and I are now living temporarily at a small cohousing community in Santa Fe---Commons on the Alameda. We're not sure how long we'll be here but it's good to be off the road for a while, connect with community and find some meaningful work! I have two nursing jobs here---part-time---and will really appreciate the paycheck!

Anyway, happy solstice and our best to everyone at TS!

All the best,

Keith
