  Description

  MARHABA! Greetings!
  We're a close-knit group of Lebanese friends managing an authentic rural camping site nestled beside the river in Ain-Dara village. More than just a campsite, we're on a mission to reconnect people with their roots while preserving traditional ways of living. Our focus is on self-sustainability through organic vegetable cultivation, mushroom farming, and the application of permaculture principles.
  But that's not all – we're also deeply committed to nature building, which involves constructing eco-friendly structures using locally-sourced materials like earthbags and wood.
  
  if you're passionate about sustainability, eager to learn new skills, and ready to make a positive impact on the world, we'd love to have you join us at our campsite. Come be a part of our journey towards a greener, more sustainable future. Together, we can make a difference!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We invite volunteers to embrace independent living and connect with the land's offerings. Engage with a diverse community, savor local cuisine, and participate in occasional events like arts, performances, and eco-tourism rides. Experience traditional life, including herding sheep and goats, inspiring alternative lifestyles. The nearest supermarket is a 10-minute walk. Expect solitude at times, which can be enriching yet challenging. Without city distractions, confront longings and fears, leading to deep self-reflection and connection with nature. Be prepared for simple accommodations and the journey of self-discovery.
