We are Thibaut & Hanna and we are running a permaculture project in a Hare Krishna community in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes. Thibaut is a 35 years old biologist and a secondary school science teacher specialized in permaculture & self-sufficient community farming. Hanna is 32 years old and is an ayurvedic practitioner and specialized in medicinal and wild plants and craftmanships. Our project is a mix of permaculture and bhakti-yoga. It's a new form of ecological agriculture rooted in Vedic principles such as compassion, service, self-awareness, meditation and respect for all living beings. The project started 4 years ago and is part of the spiritual community in the Ardennes, (around 100 people) who live according to Vedic princiciples and aiming to reach self-sufficiency in the upcoming years. Here we practice a way of life in harmony with nature and in reconnection with our true self.

About the experience in: Durbuy, Belgium
United States
I went into this experience knowing nothing about the Hare Krishna way of life, and I left with a much greater appreciation for nature, community, and found myself more mindful of even the smallest joys of our daily life and the people we share it with. Hannah and Thibeau are fantastic hosts, and they really made me feel at home here. Not only was this a wonderful cultural exchange, but also a fantastic learning experience that I would recommend to anybody. The food is great, and the devotees are all very nice people who care so much about this community, this world and everybody in it.

From the time I arrived, Hanna and Tibo have been very welcoming and open, they showed me around the place/ the garden and always answered my questions. You could always tell that they were very passionate about their project and enjoyed answering questions about it. The schedule and working hours aligned with what was discussed beforehand and were also flexible, if something came in between. The tasks were simple, straightforward and manageable. All in all I can really recommend this project to other volunteers!

Tibo and Hanna are so lovely! Working at the garden was enjoyable and I learned so much! We got good breaks and free time. Beautiful place! Room is okay. I liked that besides it's a religious place there is no pressure about it and you do whatever you believe. Indian food is good, a lot of food! The other volunteers made the place special too. Loved my stay, definitely coming back at least to visit! Thanks for everything S2
