    Description

    Enjoy your time in the wonderful mountains near Assisi, the world culture heritage in Umbria, Italy known from St. Francis of Assisi, the medieval Saint most known for his love and adoration for nature as well as for his passion for peace with all religions.

    Our Project is a project of re-connection. Reconnection with the earth, reconnection with oneself and reconnection with the human beings surrounding you directly in this moment.

    Two kilometers away from our farm we have a spiritual center located in a medieval little "Castello". It is called "Piccolo Castello" di Nottiano / Assisi. We have guests there who come for retreats, intuition training and Gestalt Therapy Trainings, since we are both Gestalttherapy Teachers and spiritually inspired beings.

    Sometimes we are singing Taizé Chants or Earth Songs there. Sometimes there are meditations there where you can participate if you wish. We are inspired by Francis from Assisi, Santa Chiara di Assisi, buddhist eco-teacher Joanna Macy, Paul Lowe who teaches radical honesty and others.

    We have a biological vegetable garden, many nut trees, berries, figues, pommegranate, 140 olive trees, wood and plums. We work with permaculture, terra preta and effective microorganisms.

    I need to mention that we are not offering internet access. So this project ist not suitable for digital nomads.

    Your help is warmly welcome in the garden, in the woods, in the meadows, in the stable, in cleaning the house.

    Our house is rather simple. We heat only with wood for instance, we have a compost toilette, we cannot use as much water as to take a shower everyday, since we have our own well. So it is a good idea maybe for you to consider primarily if you would like such a rather simple, ecological way of life. Our wealth is the nature, the silence, the possibility to live a life in Connection with mother nature.

    Space for parking camper vans

    A rather small camper van can park on our parking space. Huge vehicles cannot be hosted. Our street is quite bad. So your camper van should not be too flat on the street. It is very bumpy.
