  We don’t take things to seriously, including ourselves! A amazing practice of letting go of, is exactly that letting go of the character we are playing. Why be the person of yesterday when each day you can experience something new. Dress up and create a character a back story, BE you childhood dream, a pirate, a fairy. Take the seriousness out of the roles we all play. Be anyone be anything, each moment you are given the chance to bring the most out of life, dance with life play the character the situations needs. Take a step back and realise that the person you are playing isn’t you and Learn to set new exciting pace to environment why restricting yourself, allow the dynamics of everyone’s creative force to unfold in front of you. Dive in deep and unravel yourself accept yourself the childish nature under the visors of pragmatism.
  
  Where to begin We are who we want to be and want that from you aswell.

  Accommodation

  Workawayers will be staying in a beautiful little cottage which has 2 rooms, a library/study, a hang out kitchen area . We decided too camp in beautiful comfy glamping bell tents on our beautiful property to reconnect with our own philosophy of Minimalism and Communal Equality !
  
  Most of the food will come from the garden's, i will cater for the staple foods like rice and pasta. Although if food becomes scars in the garden (drought, torrential rain, bad season,...) and more food needs to be bought, a little donation could be asked to go to the local market!
  
  We are working towards No Waste but still rely on locqlly sourced food! We ask people to come zith a no waste approach, and so ask for no plastic left on the farm
