Description
Be part of our new adventure!
We are Ludwig and Raquel. After almost 7 years running this non-profit project in this land we've been confronted to a big decision. To leave the place, or to buy the land.
We decided to buy it, facing new challenges and trusting, we can make this place also economically sustainable.
We have been almost closed for the last 8 month, but now, since the decision is done, we are again open to share this journey with you.
Our idea is to devellop a turistic activity, combined with some farming. We think those activities can perfectly be in harmony with our project, if it always follow our values.
At the moment we need help with maintainance work, some examples:
- Maintainance and reparation of wooden fournitures.
- Make wood for the winter in our forest.
- Painting
- Building Wood/clay shelter.
- Taking care of the garden.
Many, many, many other things.
We are sure you can learn a lot, and we can also learn a lot from you and we are really looking forward to meet you soon.
Below, you can read the description of the project we have been running till now, and that we hope to be able to expand with new challenges.
Description of the project as it was before 2023:
Our project aims to be a physical place in nature where people can find human environment and quiet environment and take time to rest from daily life, reflect about their lives, meditate, share experiencies with others, create events and more.
We believe groups always help individuals, that's why we consider the place as a constantly changing community of humans interested in create collectively, places where to devellop themselves and share about their experiencies and grow with others.
It's obvious for us that in this world, violence and suffering are growing exponentially and that we often find ourselves totally impotent in front of the big pressures of society and the weakness of information, proceedings and techniques to liberate us from suffering, becoming more free and clear, and be able to be the best of ourselves living our life as we wish.
We make a difference in between what is needed to live ( survival: pee, eat, sleep etc) and what is not needed to stay alive but maybe the most important, the happiness and other states of awareness, so what is existential, essential or spiritual as you want to call it. This spirituality, and all existential questions are shared by all human beings but sometimes just in different ways, and we find very sad that almost only religious places offers a place where to live our spirituality and also spirituality is becoming in the last decade a real business and used to make money... We totally disagree with making money from spirituality, and that's why we wish to create a collective place to offer the best environment where everyone can live his spirituality with total freedom and share with others, learning from others, and building step by step, a world where spirituality unify humans and not the opposite...
We designed all the project with Permaculture and we wish to share also a lot around Permaculture and eco techniques that can help many people in their daily life, that's why all the places is designed sustainable, ecological, and respectful
and we also want to make of this place a place where to develop, create new technologies of ecology, improve in techniques and share knowledge and investigations around it!
The 50 hectares are mostly forest in which we will implement different areas:
1.native and natural forest
2. Managed and maintained forest
