    Description

    Join a bold eco-community on the wild southern shore of Kyrgyzstan’s Issyk-Kul Lake. Blending glamping, regenerative agriculture, and cultural exchange to create a living laboratory for sustainable futures.

    Volunteers help shape everything from organic sea-buckthorn orchards and herbal gardens to creative glamping spaces, art installations, and digital-nomad coworking zones. We experiment with off-grid energy, natural building, and ecological design while weaving together local Kyrgyz and global nomadic cultures.

    Build & Grow: plant and care for orchards, craft natural structures, and co-design resilient landscapes.

    Create & Inspire: host workshops, share skills, or launch art and storytelling projects.

    Learn & Connect: explore regenerative living, local traditions, and deep nature immersion alongside an international team.


    We value freedom, creativity, ecological responsibility, cultural respect, and collective joy. Your time and talent help regenerate land, support local communities, and seed a model for climate-resilient living that can move and adapt anywhere.

    Come for a week or a season. Leave with new skills, friendships, and the experience of helping a unique, anti-fragile eco-village come alive.

    🌿 Be part of our project where nature, culture, and innovation grow together.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Its more than an eco-project
    Not only an eco-glamping and orchard initiative, but also a civic and creative hub where diplomacy, learning, and cultural exchange happen in harmony with nature.
    We nurture a safe and inspiring space where people support each other, develop talents, and share knowledge. Our goal is to make every agro-technology we create—gardens, berry orchards, and resilient building methods—open and practical for local communities, helping the land and nearby villages thrive.
    Here, nature, education, and human potential grow side by side.
