    Description

    We extend a warm and heartfelt invitation to join us in the embrace of a sustainable vegan permaculture sanctuary. Here, the journey is adorned with the beauty of shared experiences, nurtured by the hands of amazing volunteers who have already etched their stories onto this landscape.

    Your guide on this enchanting voyage is Steve, a name that resonates with care and guidance.

    Who finds their haven with us?
    In this sanctuary, where the spirit finds its sanctuary, we seek kindred souls, volunteers who share our spiritual focus. While we often embark on morning meditations as a harmonious chorus, it's important to note that participation is a choice, not an obligation. And like the rhythm of breath, we sometimes engage in breathwork—a gentle ritual that purifies your vessel from the residue of the past day's toils.

    Meet Steve, a custodian of Natural Healing wisdom, a treasure trove he's eager to share with you. Learn the gentle art of self-healing, unlocking the secrets to combating ailments, and nurturing your journey towards a ripe age. Steve's journey as a practicing fruitarian is a chapter of his life, and while we don't expect you to follow this path during your stay, you'll have the chance to savour the vibrant flavours of health in the wholesome dishes we prepare.

    Moments of Tranquil Reverie: The tapestry of our surroundings is woven with exquisite strands of beaches and freshwater lakes, inviting you to immerse yourself in their embrace. Volleyball courts, a haven of camaraderie, provide the canvas for shared laughter among volunteers. In our small ruin, music and dance sometimes adorn the night. The gentle hum of bicycles guides you to the untouched pockets of natural splendour that lie nearby.

    In June 2020, the heartbreak of a forest fire swept through our lands, leaving devastation in its wake. Since then, we've forged a tale of resilience, sculpting the land back to life. Verdant once more, we tread on paths of eco projects, each a testament to our devotion. The heavens pour their blessings upon us, reminding us of their power in cleansing the earth. Our ongoing endeavours, meticulously crafted, cradle every precious drop, ensuring it nurtures the land it touches.

    With open arms, we await your presence, a presence that infuses our sanctuary with fresh energies. We thank you for contemplating a union with us in this remarkable endeavour, a journey that resonates with the very essence of nature's beauty.
