Description
Hello,
We are Marlene and Petar. Upon arriving to this place we felt the immidiate pull to root and start planting. We have been living in nature for many years, have studied natural medicine, permaculture, agroecology and practiced in many gardens and communities throughout the years.
We are calling for passionate proactive people to contribute to the project, those who are not afraid to have dirt on their hands, speak to the forest and can sit in silence, sing and dance on the mystery of life. We can host around 2-5 volunteers, so we want to connect and give opportunity to those who ride a similar wave(video call before and test stay-if we feel comfortable together and things roll well). We have many ideas (and accept new ones), so there is space to learn and go in a unique direction based on skills and wishes of learning.
Land back story:
At the SW of Peloponez, near Kyparissia, in the middle of nowhere Diogenes inherited the worst land out of all of his siblings(which is amazing) because after living many years out in the world from big cities and big buildings he came back home to the trees and animals. He build with natural materials, had many people around and is now helping a lot of stray dogs and cats. He is a very philosophical soul and wishes that we live in harmony with our land, create out of joy and live peacefully (we got nothing to complain.)
There are lands which are close to each other and all carry different projects and ecosystems. People can join any project they like and switch from one to another depending on shared needs. (more described in help section)
Transport between places:
Is possible with shared cars or walking.
Aim is for food in season is to be as self sustainable as possible.(with foodforest starting, we will take some years.)
We will have flexible meal timings and shared dinner preparation.
