    Beschreibung

    Alongside Dev river, bordering acres of jungle, which is the buffer zone to Kanha National Park, in the quaint village of Nandora, there are 20 households living mostly off the land, primarily cultivating paddy.

    Just outside the village, right by the banks of river dev, Harshit found a place to settle down and grow roots in 2019. He began with building a little mud house with the help of people from nearby villages and has continued to build various experimental structures, using locally available materials.

    Here, Harshit often hosts volunteers and fellows from the Khoj India fellowship program. He throw an annual festival called Rela and sometimes lends space to various workshops.

    Inspired by the pristine forests and flowing river, a few people who visited as friends and volunteers have stayed on longer, even acquiring neighboring land, becoming a budding community.
    Pal Uncle has set up a food forest, Dr. Niranjan is building a conservatory and Neha is foraging to build a forest nest.

    Harshits' parents, who are also committed to ecological living have moved in and help tend to the land.

    INVITATION
    If you are interested in experiencing rural life in a rustic village, you could live with us and lend us a hand in our day to day activities.
    We would need help in our building projects and in our gardens.
    The villagers would also appreciate a hand in their many tasks and are always willing to share their knowledge and wisdom with all of us.

    Our approach is inspired by the culture and the wisdom of the Adivasi people living around Central India, we have collaborated with them on our building projects and hope to be a meeting ground for people from everywhere.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    The people in the village are extremely skilled and are also friendly, travelers benefit from the access to conversations with people living simple lives. To live in the tribal belt of India is a chance to gain insight into what it takes to live using only what is available in the natural surrounding. In the past we have learnt from them how to make things such as quilts, beds, brooms, to fermented beverages and there is no end to what one could learn here.

    Apart from helping in the garden and in the routine tasks of chopping wood and carrying water, we welcome all effort at experimenting with making things using locally available material, which we are lucky to have an abundance of.

    We dream of trying out new techniques to build structures, so anything that anyone may want to try out will be conducive to our general project. We're not out to get it right, we're more keen to explore the process and enjoy making and doing things, making do with what we have.
    We are up to ideate and discuss all possibilities.

    Volunteers may live with Harshit and his parents. They may also pitch tents anywhere, if they like.

    Important to note that as of now, we don't have a toilet, we take a little shovel and a mug of water and find a well hidden spot out in nature.
    We bathe in the river.
