    Description

    Hello,
    this is a place where you can learn how to build with natural materials, such as hemp, soil and mud, and organize your surroundings in a more sustainable and nature friendly way.
    Lodging is available either in a mini mud house, comfy trailers or a tent.
    There is an organic garden, a pond, and help is needed in various natural construction and house maintenance activities.
    The estate is situated on a mountain Kosmaj, an hour drive from Serbian capital, Belgrade, in wonderful natural setting.
    I practice a blend of Tibetan rejuvenation exercises, yoga and stretching
    so maybe you can join in these.
