Our philosophy is based on our wish to only be loving in all that we do and we recognize that we individually are responsible for our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. We are self sufficient in water and heating, have extensive organic vegetable (see produce) and medicinal herbs gardens. We have solar, wind and steam power production which provides the bulk of our needs.

Ken qualified was a pharmaceutical chemist in 1970 and practiced in a community setting for 30 years, For many of those years he specialised in the compounding and dispensing of herbal and homoeopathic medicines and other forms of complementary medicine. In the last eighteen years he and Giovi have established the Pindari gardens in which over 130 medicinal herbs now grow.
