The Evergreen Project, eco-community kick start

Activity description

The Project was founded as a non-profit organization in early 2021 and in Anavra/Fthiotis, in a beautiful land of 5,4 acres in the forest, on the foot of Mountain Kallidromo in Central Greece. Our main line of work and aim is to heal and empower people without any discrimination, support them to connect with their emotions and deepen their self-knowledge, through activities that develop in the intersection of wellbeing, nature and eco-living practices. Our daily work involves practices to care and sustain our land and help our project evolve. These include organic farming with permaculture principles, natural building, woodworking, forestry and sustainable water & waste management. Our main goal is to further develop and expand our permaculture garden, natural buildings and shape the land into a self-sufficient eco-village. The volunteers staying at the Project will also learn more about yoga and mindful living. Check our social media to learn more about us.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

The participants will stay in houses for part of their stay and during the warmer months we're move to the farm and stay in big bell tents. The tents are spacious and have comfortable mattresses. The farm has all the necessities for a comfortable stay such as warm water, composting toilets, a fully equipped kitchen, electricity from solar panels and wi-fi all in the midst of a beautiful Acacia forrest in the mountain. In the farm we eat a vegeterian diet, with local seasonal products some of wich we cultivate ourselves. We'll cover the full transport of our participants, any way they need.

During the opportunity the participants will learn about practices such as permaculture, regenerative agriculture, natural building, renewable energy.
