Now, i know that aparently "alternative housing " does not belong in the "medecine lodge" category, but i consider that our environment and the way we live in balance with it, can be a great healer.
let's be honest, it is harder to heal when we live in downtown BigCity full of traffic and noise, than it is when we can retreat to a more quite and peacefull environments.
Therefore i chose to put this thread in the Medecine Lodge. if someone has a better suggestion, it is welcome.
