Permaculture and Earth Medicines
The experience
Only 90 minutes from Bogotá, a fertile territory in the cloud forest with a temperate climate hosts La Chagra, seed guardians, bees. We guard an edible forest, now we are the germinators of the human seed, with therapeutic and medicinal experiences. It is time to open the path to earth medicines with a creative and artistic spirit. These are missions in unique ways, just like you. We will be happy to welcome the cosmic family.
