  • Description

    Description

    We are a big family with four daughters, 20, 15, 12 and 10 years old. We live in a big house in the country, with ours cats, one dog and hens. Our home wants to be a permanent laboratory to experiment with sustainable lifestyles by hosting meetings on childcare, handicrafts and permaculture in general.

    We have a style of simple and spartan life and we try to produce what we need and for us it is important to take care of our children. We cultivate social relationships also useful to our work. We produce bread and biscuits that we bake in our wood-oven and bring to the local markets. We make wooden games with which we animate public and private parties and events. We do family school to our children.
    Lately we are interested in non violent communication and "The 5 biological laws", an olisic method method to understand symptoms by linking them to the biology of the human body.
