    Description

    We are Roser and Marc, and after a few years we return to this 1,200 m2 farm to make our dream come true, to live as self-sustainably as possible!
    The farm is now about 10 years old, the project is designed based on the principles of permaculture and with a spiritual and energetic vision and experience of Mother Earth. It has been dormant for the last year but we really want to reactivate it.
    We want to live again with the minimum necessary and we want to move towards comfortable simplicity. The project is a space for experimentation and self-sustainable living practices in almost every sense. It is in an environment with a Mediterranean climate, facing east, it is a terraced space, next to a drinking water spring. We are committed to being a seed of paradigm change, starting with ourselves and our immediate environment. We work on collaboration and exchange with upcoming projects, creating a tribe.

    We are currently focused on creating our new space to live and mother the future baby, another dry bathroom, kitchen... and reactivate the annual garden.

    Somos Roser y Marc, y despues de algunos años volvemos a esta finca de 1,200 m2 para hacer realidad nuestro sueño, vivir lo más autosostenible posible!
    La finca tiene ya unos 10 años, el proyecto está diseñado basándose en los principios de permacultura y con una visión y vivencia espiritual y energética de la Madre Tierra. Ha estado en reposo el último año pero tenemos muchas ganas de reactivarlo.
    Queremos volver a vivir con los mínimos necesarios y queremos tender hacia una confortable sencillez. El proyecto es un espacio de experimentación y prácticas de vida autosustentables en casi todos los sentidos. Está en un entorno de clima mediterráneo, orientado al este, es un espacio aterrazado, al lado de un naciente de agua de beber. Apostamos por ser una semilla de cambio de paradigma, empezando por nosotros mismos y nuestro entorno próximo. Trabajamos en la colaboración y el intercambio con proyectos próximos, haciendo tribu.

    Actualmente estamos focalizados en crear nuestro nuevo espacio para habitar y maternar con le futuro bebé, otro baño seco, cocina... y volver a reactivar el huerto de anuales.

    Volunteers sleep in a tent and the kitchen is shared. we have a natural pool for the summer where we don't use soap. we don't have hot water. Living conditions are very basic, but it's a peaceful place and to live without stress. We cook only ovo-lacto-vegetarian food; cooking is shared, mainly solar or with firewood. We don't have or want coffee, alcohol, sugar, commercial cigarettes or drugs in general. Obviusly I provide the food (vegetarian food). You must have your own sleeping bag, small matress... everything you need to sleep, it's better if you have your own tent, but I also have some for the volunteers.

    Los voluntarios dormirán en tienda de campaña, la cocina es compartida. Tenemos una balsa para verano donde no utilitzamos jabón. No tenemos agua caliente. Las condiciones de vida son muy básicas, pero se vive tranquilo y sin estrés. Solo se cocina comida ovolacteovegetariano entre todos. Cocinamos mayoritariamente al sol o con leña. No tenemos ni queremos café, alcohol, azúcar, tabaco (comercial) ni drogas en general. Evidentement la comida está incluida (comida vegetariana). Tienes que traer tu saco de dormir, esterilla... lo que necesites para dormir. Es mejor si tu tienes tu propia tienda pero yo también tengo algunas para los voluntarios.
