Eco Spirit

Eco Spirit Loading …

I’ve known Ania a few years and on every occasion I meet her, she’s doing something that is purely and simply — kind!  I’ve visited her in different places that she’s lived along the way and despite circumstances she’s had one constant – a dream of creating a little corner of heaven, a paradise.

And she’s achieved it – and it is truly beautiful.  A place for children, families and friends to simply be.  In the heart of the mountains overlooking the sea.   Ania calls’ it Eco Spirit, but really from the outside, it’s Ania’s spirit.   You arrive, you change.    In her own words ..

Everyone needs to go away sometimes, to a place where they can feel safe, welcome and at ease with themselves. We use the phrase  – to recharge batteries, but isn’t better to say something more natural?  What about – a place where you can find your soul and be yourself again.

Ania (Anna) has worked in many countries and places when she came upon an amazing piece of Land in the heart of the Natural Park in Spain, overlooking the mountains of Africa.   There she built a home for not just herself but for everyone … she followed a dream and now she’s got even more, she’s sharing it!

Sometimes it’s difficult to imagine Shereen being anything other than great fun.  But as a respected Doctor it’s of course only outside the surgery that we see her.  And there in all her glory.  If she’s not skiing down mountains in the Summer (yes New Zealand why not!) or climbing mountains with her children (a feat, as she insists she’s scared of heights!) or galloping past the pyramids on horseback .. you’ll find her relaxing in the Isle of Aaron or attending to all and sundry in London’s busy A&E.
But it doesn’t stop here, artist, DJ .. and great friend to many.   This is a woman who dictates the tick of the clock and it fears her chime!
Life is for the taking and just because someone has what is thought of as a traditional role within society .. does not mean .. you have to step into those ways.  Live it!  It can be done!
