    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The project is to offer a space to learn from each other in the rural setting of a permaculture vegetable farm. It is also a gay /queer space outside of the standard "hetero normative" model of society. The key values being tolerance, care of self an others and non violence. These aspects can be truly appeasing and liberating on a moral and social level for all visitors and participants in the project. The fact that the space is free of addictive substances, mainly tobacco and alcohol make it a safe place for many and a detox opportunity for others. Yoga, meditation, quietness are valued and promoted.

    Le projet est d'offrir un espace pour apprendre les uns des autres dans le cadre rural d'une ferme maraîchère en permaculture. C'est aussi un espace Gay/queer en dehors du modèle «hétéro normatif» de la société. Les valeurs clés sont la tolérance, le soin de soi et des autres ainsi que la non-violence. Ces aspects peuvent être vraiment apaisants et libérateurs sur le plan moral et social pour tous les visiteurs et participants au projet. Le fait que l'espace soit exempt de substances addictives, principalement du tabac et de l'alcool, en fait un endroit agréable pour beaucoup et une opportunité de désintoxication pour d'autres. Le yoga, la méditation, la tranquillité sont valorisés et encouragés.
