Participant profile
The people we are welcoming are people interested in a sustainable lifestyle, natural building, ecological farming and simple life style in nature without overwhelming luxury. Most of our activities and also basic infrastructure (shower, toilet) is outside. This project is also for people that want to make a change in their lives, towards living in a bigger connection with nature. Our goal is that people learn how to live in a bigger harmony with nature, and also to give individuals the experience how nature can support their holistic well-being. Volunteers joining our farm/our organization also take part in our projects and will have the support to develop also their own interest in their projects.
