My foray into eco-villages was more of a spiritual awakening than a mere professional diversion. Think of a world where people live in harmony with nature, rather than in a busy metropolis where the only wildlife you're likely to see is the odd urban fox digging through trash. It all started on a normal Tuesday when, in the middle of all the email and deadline madness, I came across an article on eco-friendly living. There was something genuinely intriguing about the notion of eco-villages — societies aiming to live in harmony with nature, predicated on principles of sustainability that felt like solutions to questions I hadn't yet articulated. So, I embarked on this journey to personally experience this lifestyle, driven by a combination of curiosity and a hint of what some may term mid-life adventure. I was enlightened by my initial experience in an eco-village. Envision dwellings constructed from mud and straw bales, solar panels shining in the sunshine, and gardens overflowing with healthy foods you'd exclusively find at posh grocery shops. The past and future intertwined in a seamless way, as if entering a parallel universe. The individuals who live in an eco-village are more important than any amount of green technology or organic produce. Picture a community where everyone knows one other's names, builds houses together, eats together, and brainstorms how to fix the planet by reusing materials, one compost pile at a time. The community rallied together to repair a leak in the community hall on a wet afternoon that stands out in my memory. I was holding a hammer and doing my best not to injure my thumb—just like a city lad who thought putting together furniture was a survival skill. In equal measure, it was embarrassing and funny. I came to understand that eco-villages were about creating a life that felt truly linked that day, among shared stories and laughing. I have gained a deep appreciation for the profound simplicity and the complicated problems of eco-village life via my time spent living and studying within these communities. It is an example of the power of unity in the face of adversity, rather than a perfect society free of all issues. My exploration into eco-villages has served as a poignant reminder of the value of community, the significance of sustainability, and the pleasant surprise of gardening in a world when isolation is all too common. I often find myself retelling this anecdote, not just to make people laugh or raise their eyebrows, but also to demonstrate the point that, in order to go forward, it is necessary to return to the fundamentals.

General info: This stop closed in 1945 due to its inability to be modernized, along with the low amount of traffic it received. Tours are sometimes available. There's actually a number of other closed stops throughout the city. You can catch a glimpse of the station as the 6 train passes the last stop and loops around. Accessibility: Closed to the public.

Tonquin Trail *** Please note these temporary trailhead closures: via the Tofino Community Hall - closed until December 2023 via Peterson Road / Leighton Way - opening late September 2022 It’s a trail and a beach, and it’s right in town. Less than one kilometre from the village centre, this gravel trail starts at the Tofino Community Hall, winding through rainforest to Tonquin Beach, Third Beach and Middle Beach. Along the way are many points of interest and ocean view opportunities. The trail network includes a closed loop trail and 3km of gravel walking trails. It's recommended you visit at low tide to take full advantage of enjoying the whole beach. Distance: 3 kilometres plus 800 metres of boardwalk and stairs leading from Tonquin Beach to Tonquin Beach Road. Some highlights: The Maze lookout, perched above Templar Channel with views of Wickaninnish Island and the site of the wreck of the Tonquin. Tiny Third Beach, which feels like a secret discovery. All of Tonquin Beach is a highlight! Bordered by rock formations that form cave-like entrances, it’s a favourite for sunbathing and relaxing. And the latest section leading to Middle Beach. This section of the trail was completed in 2017 and crosses through the ha-houlthee (traditional territory) of Tla-o-qui-aht and provides ample opportunities to connect with the local ecosystem For more information about the Tonquin Trail & Connector, please visit the District of Tofino's Trails page.
This building is currently being used as the community theatre but is must have been the town hall at one point in time. It was constructed in 1875 and located at 87 Broadway Street. The double doors on the left would indicate that the building was also a fire hall at some time, although there is another building on Broadway that is an old firehall. Take a second to look at a large version to see the unusual "Steer Head" decorations over the ground floor doors and windows on the left side wing.

The Halls of Amenti ( Accessing Ancient Wisdom from the Ascended Masters ) INFORMATION The Halls of Amenti are now open again to Seekers and those on the path of Ascension! This mighty Storehouse residing under the Great Sphinx is home to Ascended Masters from the beginning of time. It was forged by alchemical Masters under the careful guidance of Thoth to act as a living "museum" -a timeless resting place for those Blessed Beings who survived the fall of Lemuria and watched the birth of our modern civilization. Scientists will deny its existence but Thoth and Sheshat assure me this is indeed a place in 3rd dimensional reality. It was forged by man --not simply an interdimensional portal-- and uses multi-dimensional principles to keep it well protected. With it's Opening, we now have access again to the wisdom within! Fortunately, it is not accessible to anyone here on planet Earth (3rd Dimensional reality) by digging under the Sphinx ...it's only accessible energetically by…

Levittown, unincorporated residential community in Hempstead town (township), Nassau county, western Long Island, New York, U.S. Developed between 1946 and 1951 by the firm of Levitt and Sons, Inc., Levittown was an early example of a completely preplanned and mass-produced housing complex. More than 17,000 low-cost homes were built, with accompanying shopping centres, playgrounds, swimming pools, community halls, and schools. The name Levittown became a national symbol for suburbia during the post-World War II building boom. Many of the homes were subsequently remodeled or redesigned, and few of the original structures remain. Pop. (2000) 53,067; (2010) 51,881.
