Program Details

There are approx 8 terraces which have the potential to grow food, however the focus will be on 2 or 3. Each one needs clearing, fencing off (to stop the wild boar) and preparing for food to be planted. We also need to set up irrigation and composting.

Activities & Shift

Each day starts with a 60-90 minute Qigong lesson, followed by breakfast, then we would like help with: Setting up irrigation, compost areas, building steps from natural materials, preparing land for planting, prunning trees, strimming, planting, planning.

Each Evening we will practice Qigong and when we have time group meditations where we will align Chakras, listen to teachings, connect and sometime follow guided meditations.

I also provide personal healing sessions where appropriate.
