  • Description

    Description

    This is an art and ecological conservatory which would bring in all range of ideas regarding conservation either as an individual or as a group
    We have built a cob house which is circular in shape which will remind the early human habitations and which is just a starting as we unfold in to more conservative ideas
    As we are starting up with our conservative farming ideas we will constantly have something to do at our place and likely to hear out from people regarding building more sustainable structures and at the same time enhancing the existing structure
    Our farm is in the lap of nature surrounded by a flowing river forest and tribal communities which makes the place more interesting on a daily basis
    Tribals and locals have something to do through out the year which makes it surprising and more engaging through out the seasons

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    All the projects that we are working now are to bring in that traditional and cultural conservation on a whole like building a cob house with the native building ideas ,natural farming,seed conservation
    Working along with the natives will bring more integral experiences for the volunteers

  • Help

    Help

    We are constantly working with the house and farm around managing to design it with conservative ideas
    Workawayers can work with existing projects like building the extended porch around the house which would include an open kitchen
    Along with this we are looking forward to fine plaster the house and the attic along with the local craftsmen
    We are even thinking to build platforms for the two large bell tents we have where we are going work with the cob precasts of everything that we are going to build here at the farm
    Besides this we are thinking to build a sculpting studio as I am more familiar with it and a step well within the farm which would be a long term idea and will include the sculpting blocks that we make progressively
    We need help with everything that we do at the farm on a daily basis like cooking ,cleaning ,collecting seeds and saplings from the forest around besides this we always give creative freedom to volunteers and hearing out to their ideas which would suit our habitat accordingly
    As a whole we are a growing community surrounded by farms around where we can work create more ideas with them which would motivate the locals to integrate more conservative and sustainable practices

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    We have a house with attic where we stay together otherwise volunteers can bring their tents to pitch them anywhere they want in the farm and we have a urban seated washroom behind the house
    Definitely food is never a problem and food is a kind of celebration at our place because cooking will be communal and all the produce we get are from local markets nearby which always brings in diverse food seasonally
    We will never make it more intensive when it comes to work and the timings to work but whoever comes here they should understand that we always do it together

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Kanha National Park one of the biggest tiger reserves in the world is just 100 miles away from our place which is home to tigers for millennia and it instills nostalgia because the landscape here is straight out of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle book
    There are endless spots around the farm and river where you can immerse in to absolute wilderness
