We will use this space as a meeting place for like minded people to gather and communicate freely. There will be three tiers of access for the purposes of building a club structure with different amenities available. For example, a park like environment to hang out for free to things like a hot tub and green room to hang out for paying members.
I do plan to have a personal space for myself to sleep, read, paint, and “work”; along with shared spaces for both paying club members and for those not contributing monetarily; paying members can bring a plus one to some amenities (subject to space constraints, we may need to work through problem solving as needed).
The rooms will include a sun room with the majority of the plants I take care of, a deck that includes a more private seating space, and the main room will have a circle of yoga/meditation stations. Going outside around the back, we will have plenty of places to sit and relax including hammocks and a large fire pit. There will also be a barbecue and an outdoor pizza oven. On the other side of the outdoor area is a second building containing a game room and bathrooms. I would like to provide job opportunities to a few yoga and meditation instructors to use the space for classes throughout the day. I would love to hire a staff to help maintain the place such as cleaning and landscaping and provide G2 access as a benefit. We can build in phases and evolve the space with time as needed.
If you are interested… you can find me on Patreon, YouTube, and Venmo (links below).
Additional details
I will have 8 yoga stations placed in a circle with a low table in the middle. The low center table is for visiting after the morning session and enjoying a light breakfast and tea.
Each All Access Member will receive a meditation pillow that will be stored with care after each days use in a personal lockable cubby.
Sound bathing meditation sessions once per week.
Large ceiling fan and plenty of natural light, we’ll do our best to keep the temperature around 70 degrees, the visuals will be predominantly earth tones, light in hue, with an overall focus on nature.
Music including jazz, HiFi study beats, and new age will be playing in the main building at low volumes, alternating with sounds of nature throughout the day.
There will likely be a fish tank somewhere within the home.

Scenario…
For example, if I had 34 paying members with the the following breakdown, I would generate $2,900 per month which I hope would enough to cover the mortgage and cost to to maintain (on my own or with limited staff):
Group 1: up to 14 members @ $100 per member per month = $1,400
Group 2: up to 20 members @ $75 per member per month = $1,500
Group 3: Any number showing up free to hang out = A stronger community
There will be two time frames for group 1 members, a morning meditation at 6:00 AM and another at 8:00 AM. With enough interest, we could have up to 14 group 1 members participating in a morning session. Access to the yoga room opens up to group 2 members at 10:00.
Currently, I use Yoga Studio for my yoga practice; I spend most of my time in the beginner flexibility content.
I would like to participate in education surrounding certifications in this area as well.
