Program Details

This is a fabulous off-grid community built on top of a mountain, where our closest neighbour is 1km away and water and electricity are not readily available. From the paved public roads there is a 10min drive on a bumpy dirt road and then a 15min hike up the mountain so access is not for the faint hearted but is 100% worth the journey.
We collect drinking water from nearby springs and carry it back in 5l bottles to the house, water for showers needs to be pumped from a local well but we prefer to utilise natural lakes for showers 2-3 times a week. Water for dishes needs to be boiled on the stove once a day and we reuse cups and plates through the day. There is a compost toilet 100 meters from the house with a great view over the valley.
We live in harmony with the local animal and insect community, including scorpions, flies, mosquitos, wasps, centipedes, spiders and foxes.

Activities & Shift

A place in the midst of nature, surrounded by rocks, trees and rivers. You can literally do what ever you want as long as we live together in harmony.
All types of people come to this magical place to find themselves, make connections for their lives and to help amongst each other out. The summer is warm and full of parties, that you can't miss out.

Rules

This experience is not for the faint hearted, but it will either make you a stronger person or it will brake you, regardless though it will give you time to get back into nature and away from the stresses of the lives you will be leaving behind and give you the chance to reinvent yourself. It's not for everyone, but 99% of my guests love it and feel it's been a positive step in their lives. For me it's the best thing I’ve ever done, it gave me time and space to face my issues and find my place in life. I hope it can be a place you too can find your peace.
It is a true off-grid experience but with fun as the number one priority - in our eyes this lifestyle is not work - we do things because we want to, not because we have to. We understand that many people use their holiday time to do these kinds of experiences, so it's important to us that it should be fun, and not leave you tired
