The experience

Program Details

We are creating a living garden that not only gives us to eat but is a wonderful place to stay. Last year we built a little pond with lilies, lotus flowers, keeping the system in natural harmony.

We make our own compost and plants for the garden.

Three cats and four ducks!
We have a solar cooker, outdoor kitchen, compost toilet and outside shower.

Possible to stay in a tent or in your camper from April until October.
Tiny houses coming soon.

Activities & Shift

We offer a Yoga/Movement lesson each day and often juggling too :)

There is a good mobile connection but we have no wifi.
