MEET AND GREET
There is no office on the property or onsite staff. The community is made up of private home owners, residents, work exchange applicants and guests.
There is also no phone signal coming up the road to Finca Bellavista or at the car park so a time to meet with a member of the community needs to be prearranged. Once a booking is confirmed, you will be able to share your arrival day through the Fusion Forum where a member of the community will make themselves available to meet you.
Once you have been introduced to an available community member, you will be able to update them directly should your travel day or arrival time change. Once onsite, they will escort you to my home and ensure everything is operational and comfortable before leaving you to enjoy Colibri.
You are welcome to sign up to the Fusion Forum before making a booking, it's free to do so and you can ask questions directly to the community.
Additionally, you can find information on living off-grid, property for sale and general information about the Finca Bellavista community and surrounding area.
MEET THE OWNER
Kathleen Lumiere is a core faculty member in the Department of Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine at Bastyr University, and the director of the post-graduate doctoral program. She teaches in both the masters and doctoral programs, provides clinical training and patient care. Kathleen's academic and clinical interests include electroacupuncture, Chinese dietary therapy, adjunctive cancer care, immunity, emotional issues, menopause, stroke rehabilitation, and pediatric/adult medicine.
Kathleen believes healing is an educative process that involves understanding how disharmonies of the body/mind occur and learning more rewarding ways to live. She holds that, as an ever-evolving result of hundreds of years of therapeutic adaptation, traditional Chinese medicine offers a congruent philosophy and practical means to achieve greater health.
Purchased in April 2014, Kathleen is the second proud owner of this Finca Bellavista Jungalow.
