Rules

To ensure a healthy and respectful community, we follow a few important principles:

🧘‍♀️ We promote a conscious, healthy lifestyle — we avoid industrial/processed foods whenever possible

🍷 Alcohol is only allowed on special social occasions (like festivals) and in moderation

🚫 Illegal drugs are forbidden — not from a place of judgment, but due to the serious social impact of drug trafficking in rural areas

🏡 We value good relationships with neighbors and cultivate open, honest, and kind relations with them.
