Theriake is a unique place, a visionary project set in the wonderful the project countryside. Here time passes with different pace, in harmony with nature and its balances but also with excellent glasses of wine and moments of sharing during delicious lunches and dinners under the sun and stars. During my stay I worked in the permaculture garden (really well-kept and well-made) and I took care of the animals, and for any doubt or need I could always count on Chiara, Justyna and the other fantastic people who live at Theriake, I always felt supported and I learned many skills.

My experience at this ecopharm was wonderful! Its a great place to connect with yourself and nature, the sunsets are beautiful! Chiara's vision and the project are very inspiring and exciting. I would hace appreciate a bit more organization regarding tasks and schedules, and i think i would be helpful if they were more specific about some responsabilities. In general, if you didnt knew how to do something they explained to you :) Overall is a very exciting experience and opportunity

Pase 2 semanas en la granja de Chiara. Me hubiera gustado estar mas tiempo pero ya tenia otro viaje planeado. Sin embargo, considero algun dia volver a visitarla. La experiencia fue un 10/10. El proyecto de Chiara es muy interesante y me causo mucho placer poder formar parte de su desarrollo!

Having Ivo with us was a pleasure. Wish he could stay more with us. He did not know agricultural practices but he was a fast learner and proactive. Organized. Enjoyed his spirit and company. See you soon ! Hope you come back and visit us.
