  • Description

    Description

    We are a couple of stone builders living in a collective house that we rebuilt ourself. We have 2ha of field (with 2000m2 of permaculture garden), a green house, dry toilet, a clay and straw house we built.
    Our project is to share, to live, and to experiment together.
    We use collective intelligence in our daily lives, this as well as music, and an ecological way of living are very important for us. We are dynamic, open, mindful and we like to meet people.
