Our program is an opportunity for that kind of person who wants to experience regenerative living on a permaculture project, loves nature, enjoys yoga & meditation but also loves sharing their gifts and assisting others through their work.
We honor authenticity, clear transparent communication, and responsibility.
Our program involves joyous participation in our work as our dharma and we look for people with the same outlook. We love planning, we honor flexibility and support symbiosis. To grow together and be a unique experience, we ask for a minimum stay of two months in the project.
