💔 Flood Update from The Gaia Sanctuary 💔
The last few days have been incredibly hard.
We have worked tirelessly clearing out the very thick layers of mud and sludge left behind by the flood in our cabins, glampsite ablutions and glampdeck. It has been exhausting work, but we are slowly taking things one step and one shovel at a time.
Our next major challenge is the campsite road, which is currently covered in thick mud and inaccessible for vehicles. We will somehow need to bring in a grader to clear it before we can move forward.
After that, we begin the task of repairing the damages… and finally, rebuilding and randscaping our beloved campsite, which was completely destroyed.
What makes this especially heartbreaking is that we had recently upgraded the campsite with gas geysers, two hot showers, and an additional toilet… all of which were sadly washed away in the flood.
It took us 4 years to lovingly create the beautiful sanctuary space we had built, planting new trees, grasses and slowly bringing the campsite to life. Watching so much of it disappear overnight has been devastating.
We know recovery will take months of hard work, and the costs will be significant. But Gaia has always been built with love, community and resilience, and we will rebuild 🌿
Should anyone feel called to support the restoration of our beautiful Sanctuary and willing to offer a donation, we would graciously and deeply appreciate it.
Please kindly DM us 🙏
Thank you to everyone who has checked in, sent messages of support, and held us in your hearts during this difficult time. It means more than you know 🙏🌿🌻 And we are also holding in our hearts and thoughts all the others who have also been badly effected by the severe weather this last week. 🙏💛
