This is a long-term sit of approximately 7 weeks for late April to mid June in a peaceful, nature-filled setting. other dates to come.
2-Otherwise we also offer flexible dates all year round in the yurt. While staying there, you can contribute to a permaculture project and help to start an organic blue berry farm.
