We kept coming back to their yurts because they looked very clean, resilient, and mindfully designed around the structure’s traditions, but with added modern features. Jake: We researched about 10 other yurt companies before choosing Pacific Yurts. We relished the chance to design our own yurt interior, so we thought a Pacific Yurt would be the perfect dwelling for our move to raw forested property in Canada! What made Pacific Yurts standout over other structures or companies on the market? Many of the families we saw living in Yurts had these amazing living spaces that looked comfortable and quite beautiful. ![]() Nicole and I also enjoy watching YouTube videos of families and couples who build and live in unique housing. While in the grasslands of Mongolia, I stayed in a traditional Mongolian Yurt – it was an amazing experience! I remember loving the design and feeling of warmth and comfort that the yurt gave me while I was wrapped in wool blankets safe inside that Mongolian Yurt. Jake : I traveled throughout China and Mongolia when I was 21 years old. What inspired you to pursue an off the grid yurt lifestyle? W e live in a 30 foot Pacific Yurt located on North Vancouver Island. Let’s start with a quick introduction of you and your yurt. To learn more about their adventures, we sent them a Q&A to see what it’s like to live off the grid in a Pacific Yurt. We’ve since launched a video series covering their incredible journey that takes viewers through their process of building a yurt and living in the ruggedness of Canada’s wilderness. They also told us they wanted to share their story about the benefits of living in a yurt by bringing more awareness to off the grid yurt living. I will say, it feels good to finally be settled.When Jake and Nicole visited our facility to pick up their Pacific Yurt, they told us they wanted to start a sustainable property centered around a yurt. I look forward to sharing more of this journey with you as my path unfolds. I’m uploading photos from the last few days in this post and I have uploaded my Patrons only Naked Poem reading on my Video page. I try to shred raw and real moments with you beautiful people. I tend to get a tad nervous on video, so I stumbled on a couple of my words, but decided to stick with the original recording so it’s more authentic and unpracticed. I asked my good friend and blog reader “R Jr.” to help me choose a focus for today’s video. I managed to sneak a few moments for myself. ![]() Today the drip edge and membrane for the living roof on the dojo are being installed. I am forever grateful to everyone who made this possible. He lovingly calls my studio the “Goddess Dojo”. My brother-in-law and my sister built the arbutus cabin and my longtime friend and lover who is an experienced builder with a focus on natural and sustainable building did the lion’s share of the work, on my studio. If you have ever taken on a building project before you’ll know how daunting it can be. So now that both spaces are complete I will likely create content in my studio and blog in my living space (Arbutus Cabin). You’ll be happy to know (if you like reading my blog that is, lol) that my kitchen/living room space (photos to come) has Wifi. ![]() In addition, because my new studio/bedroom/glass house is off grid, there’s no Wifi. I apologize for turning my energy inwards but I have been a very busy woman. ![]() What a journey the last couple weeks have been. “As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness…Home is where the heart is.” – Unknown
