Permaculture project and forest creation
The experience
I'm looking for 2 to 4 people who resonate with the project and are eager to bring love to the garden, to the edible forest, and to the chickens.
Keep in mind that a large part of my time is devoted to my three children and to my job outside the home, so travelers have plenty of autonomy and can organize their own schedules.
If you want to live a unique, tranquil experience, away from the usual comfort of an apartment, join us!

Program Details
La Casa del Bosc (The Forest House) is a free and artistic place being born in the countryside where the forest is arriving little by little. I was looking for a place in the forest to organise events (ecstaticdance, woman circles, temazcal, concerts..) and a place in the countryside appeared. So I am making the forest arrive to The Forest House! 😉
And the events are slowly happening.
I am not a permaculture expert but I found myself in that mission so here I am motivated on taking care of mother Earth and on learning on the way.
While I take care of my 3 kids and I have my work as a harpist in different cities.
Life is an acrobatic story!
La Casa del Bosc is 3km from the city of Lleida, Catalunya. (Notice that we are not in the middle of a forest but 20min walking from a city.)
From my arrival here, on November 2021, my focus has been on planting trees, make a big vegetables garden and and regenerate the land in general.
I am looking for 2 to 4 people who resonate with the project and would like to come help taking care of the garden, the baby forest, the chickens… Also knowledge about reparation, constructions and maintenance will be very handy.
Travelers are hosted in campers.
We have a dry toilet consisting of a beautiful wooden house with a hole on the floor.
We have a shower with cold water outside. Hot shower inside of my house that you can also use.
The water of the showers goes to the trees so please bring ecological higienic products (soap, shampoo, tooth paste…)
We have a caravan kitchen and a fridge and food at the disposal of travelers.
While you live in La casa del bosc, I kindly ask you to keep the commun and private spaces tidy and clean (as you would do in your house).
Weather in Lleida: very hot summer (and mosquitos). Very cold winter.
Welcome!
