Description
Alnona is a natural sanctuary, a beautiful quiet place on the top of plateau hill, where only wild life meets the eye. Over the last years two families transformed a small part of a big piece of land into natural, self-sustaining settlement with outdoor kitchen, bathroom and a big terrace protected by a huge roof. Adding two big safari tents to host friends, visitors or volunteers already makes the space feeling of a small neighbourhood.
The vision that moved us into action was and is to create a cooperative neighbourhood where 7 families could build their homes, share permaculture gardens and co-create different projects according to the skills embodied by each individual. In this direction we are looking to find a balance between private and social life in natural environment, work and enjoyment, supporting our children along the way and live fulfilled days from an inner place of “ I am in the right time, in the right place, with the right people, aligned to my true self”.
So we are living a few months a year in caravan and safari tent with our 2 children - Alice 9 & Noe 6 years old, building up the space, running summer camps for children during summer months ( on FB & IG- ask us for the links ) and creating experiential workshops and stays for humans that are interested in permaculture, sustainable living, natural building, music, yoga, human design etc. We love to share our interests and also learn from what the visitors bring with them.

Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
Lucia & Renaud need a help in building up the community space, small gardens around and putting our projects into fruition. A lot to do everyday (not mentioning our very lively children).
Depending of your interest you will join a workshop (some are more physical in the building or farming but we can also find some less physical (cooking, activities with kids tec.).
Following what we read we'd like to propose a classic barter: a place to sleep and some good food. In exchange we'd like 4 or 5 hours of daily help (5 days a week). We are flexible people and all can be discussed anyway ;)
