Dream Monastery

[anthrobabe]

right we do not want to add nasties to the environment.

As to the swim throug in and out-possibly coul use some sort of positive air flow to keep the cold from creeping in or have the physical barrier just below the water level so one only needs to dunk and hold breath for a moment(but deep enough through the passage so that anyone no matter how they are mobile can get through)


float from pool to pub-----  !!!!!

The monastery ought to have lots of roaming and grazing land for doggies , kitty cats , horsies , moo moo cows , GOATS  and other human friendly beasties .

Has anyone mentioned turrets , moats , drawbridges , hidden doorways , a deck off each bedroom , plenty of solar panels , plenty of skylights ,  wind generators , wind mills , a river running through it , a lake and treehouses .

.....sigh.......

At some point we'll have at least a virtual monastery that has those elements.  Probably even and Ele-ant pile you can explore.  There'll have to be some sort of virtual shrinking machine to get your avatar small enough to get in.

Dusting off an old thread.

Not quite fitting of 'Dream Monastery', but it came to me that the best way to make a fledgling physical Toadfish Monastery self-sustaining would be to set it up as a hostel. One could start with an existing building and slowly develop the grounds and extensions from there, provided you had the land.

I like the idea, alas, if we weren't so widely distributed... 

[Swatopluk]

Then ship-based (or raft/floating island)

Well, at least one would have somewhere to stay when visiting.

That it has the potential to happen is dream enough for now.

That reminds me an idea I had at TOP a while ago, why not making it a hot air balloon?

Ha! That's fantastic. But I think we could fit more of us in it if we just staked it to the ground and made it like a Moon Bounce.

Yes, a fine orchard and a lovely maze to walk through, especially during misty drifting morning fog....and at its  center... a small void atop a pedestal, a perfect place for pondering nothingness.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Hi Sheila! Perhaps you should introduce yourself in the Start Here section of the forum. We promise we won't bite. 

[Opsa]

Okay, so if we had an actual monastery, what if we just started simply- made it like a camp retreat? I think Aggie has touched on this idea.

[Griffin NoName]

We could start by taking over a bus shelter.

[Aggie]

Ah, pish - lost a whole post.  Will get on it later.

If you log in, in another window you can get it back by hitting the back button I think...
