A tranquil lake reflects the vibrant colors of a dramatic sunset sky, with dark silhouetted trees lining the shore and soft clouds overhead. Peaceful and serene atmosphere.
A warmly-lit cabin window glows against a dark night sky, surrounded by shadowy trees, creating a cozy, inviting contrast between interior warmth and outdoor darkness.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    There is an abundance of woods, fields, empty acres and trails nearby to explore. Wild berries are common. The ecovillage is in Harrington, near the Mont-Tremblant region. It boasts its own serene, private lake for interns to enjoy.
    Some non motorised watercraft are also available for use. Aside from the lake, there is a small river that crosses the land, offering many enjoyable nooks along the Frog trail. Other outdoor activities may be available. Feel free to ask!
    With regards to internet connection, we are happy to open our network and allow everyone to use it. It can sometimes be slow or down in bad weather. Heavy internet users (downloads, streaming, Netflix) can contribute to their usage (1$/Gb) by donating to the Internet box in the general store. We apologize for this inconvenience.
    If you engage in any manner of craftsmanship, you are encouraged to continue doing so here during your off time, and to let us know in advance if there is anything we can do to facilitate it.
