From the outside, I'd say you've gotten a lot further than just dreaming! Pulling up your roots is perhaps the most difficult act in the whole process... Besides finding the people you want to be around as you build a new world.

And yes, building—or restoring—a place where humans can be in harmony with nature is EVERYTHING. If I can, I'd love to recommend the book TENDING THE WILD by M. Kat Anderson:

And here's a PBS doc inspired by the book:

https://www.pbs.org/video/tending-the-wild-eyran3/

It's specific to California, but it's about how the native people stewarded the land for 13,000 years with such care that they didn't need to deliberately grow anything. Perhaps as good as an example in human history of people living in harmony with the land they occupy
