How It All Started

About two years ago after realizing the culture of the west, the culture that raised me, was broken and full of limitations, I decided to make a change ~ a huge life change driven by a deep inner voice. I left the modern comforts of civilization and gave up all I knew and owned. I landed in an impenetrable forest of the Southern Ecuador Andes with a tent and 2 suitcases. So began the creation of the Magical Forest. I live outdoors, one with nature and create with all my heart, mind and soul-might.

The Magical Forest is a co-creation…the creative force of me as a woman and nature cooperating in intimacy. It is a place that intends to instill awe, inspiration and wonder into the heart and soul of all who visit. As we ponder and wonder along, The Magical Forest is becoming and behaving in the manner of the dream!

I believe my choices and the journey of transformation seem untouchable by many. It is possible for anyone who desires to create a new world. And, so I continue forth sharing the wisdom and grace that the creation of the Magical Forest offers so that it makes a difference and offers a witness for the greater good of all. It offers hope! It is a place to gain courage to be the change!

The Magical Forest is a colorful tapestry of natural potential where food, medicine, flowers wave abundantly with rocks, water, trees, soil and garden art. It is a organized wilderness of possibility providing food, nutrition, healing and sustenance for mind, body and spirit. It is permaculture and more than permaculture. It is sacred Homesteading!

Through internships and a “Be Our Guest” self created retreat/vacation programs, Leisha desires to share the journey of how she arrived…and what is possible for anyone desiring to chose a life living in harmony with Nature. She desires to teach, share and witness so that others are empowered to take back the basic rights of being human.

In my previous life, I practiced as a Certified Naturopath, Herbalist, Wild Foodist, Ayurvedic Practitioner and Kindred Spirit Life Coach. I thought I left that behind and now discover they are pieces of a jig-saw puzzle that connects so that I teach and guide. It is true that I am living a dream of many and I realize the unknowns and what-ifs become the reasons that keep one from making a change. When I unleashed the wild-me, it was full of unknowns and, as this transpires and unfolds, I realize it is to be shared…. it is very important to share…to witness opportunities abound that call us all to be that change.

So, I ask for support ….support for the dream of The Magical Forest and many, many others who are dreaming of a better way.

I intend and dream….

….a continuation of the creation of the Magical Forest to be a solid witness to harmony of living with Mother Nature; to build natural guest quarter structures so the guests and visitors can assimilate in comfort while they learn and grow….for the cost of the materials to create the structures necessary so that the Magical Forest and its’ wonder can be shared far and wide. Leisha desires to offer amazing workshops and intern possibilities. To have the structures of natural living fully witnessing life (green house growing, various compost examples, solar dehydrator, etc.)

….to create a teaching pavillion so that exdperiential and hands on workshops can be offered on topics such as permaculture, biodynamics, Agnihotra, healing and health, sacred gardening and homesteading.

—to assst locals in learning the building techniques (ie. earth bag) and inspire them into a possible viable, thriving and much needed local business.

….to continue to grow the herbs and medicine so that The Magical Forest becomes a source of powerful natural medicine for the benefit of all. Leisha has spent much time experimenting with various herbs from the North and South to realize which plants are comfortable and happy in this setting. Now is time to give them room to be in abundance so they can fulfil their purpose and become healing energies as they so desire.

I take on that i am living a life of the future by living as our ancestors did in new and creative way. As such, I desire to share, teach and witness to others. The Magical Forest is to be shared. I am ready to abundantly share!”

More about the Magical Forest?

The Magical Forest is a creative collaboration of woman and nature in abundant food, medicines, and natural living, expressing creative joy and wonder while sharing generously the vision of remembering who we are. It is a part of an amazing conscious, intercultural community called Finca Sagrada(sacred land farm) in the vibrant Chirusco Valley of Southern Ecuador.

We are living into sacred homesteading that teaches and guides guests and visitors towards a deeper understanding of their true purpose,

We are a biodynamics, organic and Homa Farm (Agnihotra) caring for the land naturally and harmoniously.

Walking into the Magical Forest, you will meander through pathways of inspiration greeted by food and medicines of the north and south. Water tickles little kisses through the gardens where art statues offer stories of magic long lost. The Magical Forest is a creative force that taps into wonder and awe. It causes all visitors to be present.

What we are creating is the way of the future – it is rediscovering our roots, redefining how we obtain and live with the land in cooperation and consideration. and it is taking back our right to clean waters, healthy, nutritious foods and medicines and self government.

Why do we need your support?

This campaign is an invitation to you to “step together” into a new paradigm of conscious living. Join us!

“When I arrived, I asked God/Spirit for the gift of living completely and wholly with the land. Of course, Spirit said “Yes” and “you will need to reach out for financial support as this gift of creation must be spread far and wide as we shift toward a new paradigm of thriving, sustainable and empowered lifestyles.” I also realize that there are many, more and more, people waking up and desiring to make a change. I desire to help them…share and witness to others so that the transition is full of wonder.”

So, I invite you to consider supporting me…. so I may continue to share and teach….to help others make a change…and the transform the earth gracefully! As mentioned, we desire to building adobe earth bag guest quarters not only for our guests, but to support our local neighbors in creating a viable earth bag construction enterprise. We are currently in the process of building one structure and learning alongside our Ecuadorian local friends inspiring them to create a much needed viable local small business. This is how it works! We spread the inspiration in generosity for the greater good of all. To teach and share, we desire to build a workshop pavilion, a tree house village and generate many other teaching tools to share how to successfully live with the land (ie. worm farm/composting, solar dehydrators, compost toilets, etc.).

Teaching people how to grow nutritious food and provide natural medicines is the way of the future. The time is coming soon when we have to remember.

Our experience and belief is that we are one tribe of humanity, and together with you, our widespread family ..we are urgently aware of mutual empowerment in homesteading and conservation of the land.

There is a link that happens -where the growth of one is reflective of all. We can no longer take these steps by ourselves as we are a synergistic community and when we take steps together the opportunity for extraordinary miracles manifests. That is the lesson I have realized as I live and breathe in the Magical Forest…collaboration in generosity.

Together, our dream is much grander than we originally imagined and we are guided to reach out for support. Hence, this campaign!

In many ways we are thriving as we manifest an intercultural, sacred, self sufficient homestead over which the Eagle and the Condor fly as one. This is inspired by the indigenous wisdom that neither the people of the North nor the South will thrive until these two majestic birds symbolically fly as one. And, in sharing this, we are in contact and dreaming with supporters of the Northern Haida First Nations that one day soon we can assist and inspire them to return to a thriving, self-sustaining community. We dream a training program for the Haida youth so that they can feed and nourish their family abundantly.

We operate on principles of generosity, wonder, integrity, doing what we love and working actively with spiritual beings, including nature spirits. Most important, we have a successful track record with transforming community breakdowns into opportunities.

We invite you into a community of virtual supporters who contribute as inspired. Contributors are welcomed to share and witness in the growth and manifestation of The Magical Forest.
