    Description

    Hi!
    I'm Ronny, long time as passed before I finally have made the decision to change my life, escaping from normal and busy life in the center of a industrial town in the north west of Italy.
    Finally I broke phisical and mental chains to follow the freedom of being myself, to bloom in harmony with the earth and nature.
    Then I decided to move in a place far away from negative thoughts and any other kinds of pollution.
    There I met Eva!
    She is been traveling the world for 20 years surfing , learning about yoga, thai massage, healing in general and also voluntering in different projects. She is passionate about movement, bodywork, meditation and community living.
    Togheter we are focused in human permaculture living life in full interconnectedness with all sentient beings.
    Now we stay in the south-east side of La Palma, in a nice place called San Simon. It's no so distant from the capital Santa Cruz and the airport. It's surrounded by mountains, forest, and it has wonderful sea and islands views. If you like nature and a quiet life you'll be happy.
    We welcome people who know or want to know more about sustainable way of life, recycle and reuse, consciousness, syntropic and regenerative agriculture and permaculture.
    We are in the exciting first stages of planning, to transform this land in a spot of abundance and happiness.
    We're looking for strong volunteers to help us in the garden, that is a mix of earth working, planting plants and trees, raise goats and chickens, landscaping, some stone walling, setting up the drip irrigation system and so on.
