    ¡Bienvenidos!
    Hace algunos años compramos esta hermosa tierra, junto a las sierras de Gredos, entre las montañas. Tenemos un proyecto para crear un centro de talleres y meditación, desarrollo personal, donde la gente pueda conectar con la naturaleza.
    Así que los que estamos allí viviendo practicamos meditaciones diariamente.
    Tenemos dos épocas al año de mucho trabajo.
    La primera desde Mayo a Julio haciendo trabajos de mantenimiento, bioconstruccion y campo.
    La segunda de septiembre a noviembre ayudando en la recogida y secado de higos de la forma tradicional.

    El tiempo libre podemos disfrutarlo tomando baños en las piscinas naturales que se encuentran a 10 minutos a pie, o haciendo alguna ruta de montaña.

    En la finca puedes estar tranquilo, haciendo música, arte o simplemente contemplando la naturaleza entre otras muchas cosas.La finca es una zona libre de drogas y Alcohol. Actividades artísticas son más que bienvenidas
