But you can decide whether you wanna stay in a shared room, and it's like a cottage out in the back nine, or a super luxury suite, and everything in between, so that you could choose the price that you wanna spend on your stay based on your accommodations, but your treatment was generally the same.

So, you know, how do we emulate that? And then another thing I've been really fascinated with is, like, work away and WWOOFing exchanges.

How could people even come and be part of the crew and get the healing benefits of the place through a work trade or volunteer type of exchange?

It's time for the mystery question lightning round.

There was WWOOFing, and there was, you know, kinda making it on your own.

It stands for Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms.

And it's, like, an opportunity where you can go travel to a foreign country and you can, like, pick a farm there.

I was doing the thing called WWOOFing, Willing Workers on Organic Farms, which is like you-

Okay

... there's a network, and it used to be a book.
