Description
🌱 Welcome to our – Peace Garden Healing Farm
We are Adam and Shani, a couple living in the forest 34 km (about 35 minutes) from Tampere, Finland. Together with the support of volunteers and friends, we are creating a healing farm and community space where people can reconnect with themselves, each other, and the Earth.
Our vision is to grow a place of regeneration, creativity, and sustainability, a living sanctuary where healing, nature, animals, and community meet. 🌍💚 One of our dreams is also to live in harmony with animals, at the moment, a lovely cat lives with us on the farm.
🌿 What We Offer
Individuals or small groups can come to:
Reconnect with nature and themselves
Learn and share skills in sustainability, herbalism, self-sufficiency, and well-being
Explore mindfulness, shamanism, artistic and creative expressions
Experience traditional Finnish sauna and forest living
Join gatherings of healing music and community sharing
We are also deeply connected with the Yawanawá tribe in the Amazon, Brazil, where once a year we guide people to learn from their traditions, wisdom, and way of life. Part of our purpose here in Finland is to help preserve and share indigenous knowledge and spirituality.
🌍 Our Vision & Future
We are a non-profit organization with a dream of expanding into a sustainable community that protects the forest and empowers people. The farm is moving toward self-sufficiency:
Compost/dry toilets & traditional sauna
Kitchen with grey water system and water from our own well
Electricity and phone-based Wi-Fi (exploring solar & alternative energy)
Plans to build small cabins, an earth cellar, and larger food gardens
Our big vision is to grow food, build sustainably, live with animals, and empower each other by learning and teaching different skills.
🛠 How You Can Help
We welcome volunteers who want to contribute with:
Physical help on the land (gardening, planting, harvesting)
Woodwork, renovation, and natural building
Foundation work and eco-construction
Creative skills: graphic design, web design, communication
Most importantly: willingness, trust, and good communication 🙏
🏡 What to Expect:
Accommodation: Sleeping in traditional Finnish cabins. You may share a room with other volunteers.
Facilities: Two traditional saunas for washing, dry toilets, shared kitchen.
Transport: Local buses run 4 km from the farm, bikes are available, When possible we can give lifts from/to Tampere.
Community life:
We mainly live on the farm, but also keep an apartment in Tampere. Sometimes we spend a few days in the city, so there may be times when volunteers stay at the farm on their own.
Lumi, Adam’s 14-year-old daughter, sometimes comes to visit.
Friends also come and go, joining to help and share.
