Steering Group - Contact Ollie Clifton
Our Steering group consists of Ollie Clifton (Project Coordinator), Steve Lee (Farm Manager), Steve Campbell (Retreat Centre group), Marie- Laure and Vincent (community and healing group members), Cat Alker (community and Retreat Centre member) and Trina King (RXAA member and RXI director). 

Ren Xue Community working group - contact Ollie Clifton or Cat Alker
The Community group has done valuable and heartfelt work to draft an application form and create a vision and values document.  More work is being done to formalise the process of joining community so please contact us if you are interested in being part of this or if you have skills that could assist the foundation of a community. 

Farm working group - Contact Steve Lee or Ollie Clifton
Ren Xue will officially take on the running of the farm on 1st June 2022. 
With our Farm Manager Steve Lee this group is working to create a plan for the Ren Xue farm. This is likely to involve an incremental approach towards more diversification with an overall goal to work in harmony with the environment. Learning and getting to know the land will be a key part of the planning. This is an exciting time to be involved! 
We are putting the call out now to invite ideas for social enterprises on the farm - have you always wanted to grow medicinal herbs?; start a bee-keeping business?; start a market garden?  
Let us know your ideas.

Our design team has completed an architectural design ready to submit for resource consent, once we have a few more items covered off, such as traffic plans and a landscape design and assessment .  Go team! They have been working so hard to collaborate and incorporate all the beautiful visions and input from the community, as well as ensuring that it is in harmony with the land and local community - beneficial for all!

This group are investigating what a Ren Xue Healing Centre might look like and how this physical home could help to develop Yuan Ming therapies.
