Finca Bellavista - A sustainable rainforest community
New Tribe is proud to be working with The TreeHouse Workshop and the community of Finca Bellavista to help make this new sustainable forest lifestyle a reality.
http://www.fincabellavista.net/home.htm
"Living in the trees is a universal theme that many dream, but only a few experience...
"Now you can live with nature in all its abundance right out your front door in a unique community designed for ecologically minded, adventurous individuals. Let the wonders of the rainforest and its inhabitants guide your daily schedule. Imagine taking a plunge in the cool waters of Rio Bellavista after an invigorating rainforest hike...Riding a zip-line to meet up with friends for an evening meal or cocktail...Waking up each morning to a tropical bird symphony from a tree house nestled high in the rainforest canopy...
"Live the dream at Finca Bellavista, a tree house community nestled in the rainforest of Costa Rica."

From the simplest backyard treehouses for children to the most amazing private treehomes for adults, we can design and build the perfect treehouse for you. Let us show you how you can be in a tree!"

Kindred Spirits
www.trackersnw.com/ TrackersNW Newsletter
...In dawn's hour, sun breaks on Big Pink, Mount Hood rising behind the temple like a distant father. Mist sleeps in the river where you await the tribe's return, on the east bank of the Willamette, knapping a blade from a broken bottle. Then, the flock begins to emerge from the cloud. Soundlessly, they glide toward you with perfect cohesion, that morning's catch strung from the Umiak. Master mariner signs to ready the ropes. Now, sweet cedar smoke is conjured from a fire board. The child raises her tinder bundle to the sky and from her lips draws the flame. Young men are painting up for the hunt. You too have stalked these banks to the failed city and traded with the townies, you have camouflaged your body in their clothes, worked in their offices, lent your eyes to their screens. There was even a time you forgot who you were, how it feels to release an arrow, the music of the bowstring resonating, the route of your blood, the path of those who came before… You felt you were asleep for a long while. The world engined on. And then, one day, you woke up... -storyteller, Lisa Wells
