Santa madre

Santa Madre is a place with huge potential. It's a big Land close to Altea, Spain. It used to be an Orange tree monoculture, but now most of the Land is overgrown by grass. We intend to transform it into a green and biodiverse Paradise, using Permaculture principles and syntropic farming tequniques that will increase biodiversity, beauty and harvest. Another part of the project will be to build suistainable huts for comfortable living using COB (a mix of clay, sand and straw). We will use the soil of the land itself, as it has a lot of clay in it. We will start by building smaller structures like a compost toilet and small huts, but eventually we will progress to building bigger things like an outdoor kitchen and maybe even a proper house. We are not sure yet what this place will be in the end. Maybe a community, maybe a yoga and retreat center or an organic farm. Or maybe all at the same time. But for sure it will be a Oasis of peace and freedom in this chaotic world. And you can be part of it, with your own unique gifts, skills and ideas

Here you will be free to choose what you would like to contribute to the project. Of course we can offer you to help with the building or the planting and maintaining of the permaculture garden and we are very happy to teach you all we know about it. But if you have some other ideas about what you would like to create or do here, you are free to do so.

My experience was amazing. Mathis and Amelie are truly great people, they were so welcoming from the moment they picked me up from the bus station and made me feel comfortable right away. The daily tasks were interesting to learn about, and they were often fun or relaxing to do. I also really appreciated that there were days where we all collectively decided to not do work and just chill, enjoy the environment, and experience a real sense of freedom. I loved my experience and I'm very grateful for the things that I learned and the people I was able to meet.
