The experience

Connect with nature through art, sensory experiences, and community. A peaceful space to slow down, create, and return to life’s simple roots.
You’re free to create your own routine, but presence and commitment to yourself and the park are valued. There’s one private compost toilet and a shower (no hot water).
No Wi-Fi, but phone signal allows basic connection—cafés nearby offer full access. Life here is basic, peaceful, and beautiful.

Activities & Shift

It is important to recognise that this is not a park for holiday makers or for people who just want a place to stay. It is a place for development of yourself and surroundings. Work is less of a requirement here and more of a way of life. You have the opportunity to create your own structure and daily routine. I hope that each working day you are present and committed to maintaining and improving yourself and the park. 5 hours a Day, 5 days a week is a guide line but how you organise your time is down to you. So either more work or less work is entirely possible as long as we come to an agreement. You need to be able to independently sustain yourself here and have the means to leave or come and go as you like.
