Ep. 15 - Shuniya

Shuniya (shoo-nee-yuh) means “zero” or “nothing.” It describes a state of awareness in which the mind is brought to complete stillness; a state of emptiness where no positive or negative is assigned to things, so you can simply unfold.
As rainy days bring a sense of cleansing and calmness, Dawn Thomas and Joe Girard, co-founders of Swich and Rouxbe Cooking School, cultivate an appreciation of shuniya amid the ever-evolving progress at their home on Pender Island.
In this 15th episode, they walk us through how they spent a rainy weekend updating their home with a new kitchen and wood shelf, along with an intensive outdoor project. You’ll see visits with gorgeous animals, including otters, deer, frogs, pigs, and seals. (Psst, don’t miss a sweet moment with Leo at the end!)
Whether Dawn and Joe are gardening, enjoying time on their boat, or working towards long-term projects, they continue to capture the beauty of slowing down, setting your own pace, and allowing the journey to unfold.

So beautiful! Thanks for taking us along on your trip! Reminds us our early days clearing land and building our first primitive log cabin from standing dead lodgepole pine at 7,500 feet in Wyoming. And thank you for Swich

Awww beautiful! The ocean is so calming. The water so clear! You’ve made great leaps this year…the garden would have been too much for sure! You two deserve a little winter break to recharge. Spring will bring many new challenges and rewards. 💕💕💕
