This is not just any place; it's a dynamic hub of creativity and experimentation led by the visionary artist and clown. Here, projects are never truly finished, and experiments are celebrated as part of the journey. A multi-disciplinary artists and artisans create an adventure where nature, creativity, and everyday life are weaved together into a joyful, festive, and wonderful living experience. Here people learn to live in happiness, crafting their personalities as creators of life's symphony, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary, the everyday into the fantastical.
With a wide range of volunteering opportunities and a warm welcome often to several volunteers from all corners of the world, we offer a unique and diverse volunteering experience.
