The experience

Our form of living is simply rural and modest without luxury and pretension as well as having some places to meditate and tune into the energy of the environment. The volunteering is only an exchange for accomodation. We live in a permanent relationship with nature and our daily work allows us to marvel even more each day at the beauty of our environment.
