The experience

This is a community environment with amazing neighbours, guests and a welcoming team. We host workshops while we grow our vegetable garden following permaculture principles.

We have been working in the house renovation for 2y and it's now a Learning and Regeneration center able to host 20 people.

We need help to continue the renovation, to take care of the house and the animals, and plant more in our vegetable garden!
