Description
Welcome to this growing oasis of little paradise in Eastern Bohemia !
Name itself symbolizes two main aspects, it is kind of harbour for those who seek peace, prosperity and joy in the waves of sometimes mad world. Arbor is also a "Tree" in Latin and to them is the Ranch devoted,
Our philosophy comes totally from the natural laws, which means sustainability, independence on the system and money, permaculture, love to all life and selfresponsibility for anything that happens in our life.
We care about Mother Earth and welcome all conscious beings with open hearts. You can be part of ceremonies, celebrations and even big festival that is about to happen beginning of July. We love to share, sit by the fire, enjoy our unique and beautiful sweat lodge, sing and drum in the evenings, but most of all, we love to visit nearby Magic Forest or other best parts of wild Nature around to rejuvenate and learn from its wisdom.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The owner and "soul of this place", Vito, is very much connected with the trees and the Nature. He connects to her endless wisdom and thus can share amazing amount of knowledge in many areas of transformation and spiritual growth.
Not just theory, you can absorb deep understanding of lives of trees, about their archetypes and energies as well as you can learn how to recognize them, their peel and their wood.
Vito is a passionate craftsman, for having a ranch means being able to do anything by yourself.
You can learn complete woodworking, building with all kind of materials and other manual arts.
You can integrate basics or even depths of natural agriculture and permaculture and understand what is to be connected To Earth through soil.
You can be part of cleaning sweat lodge ceremonies and enjoy self-development and healing, which this place enhances.
It is also a center for many events with intention, visited by many people from whole country and even the world, so you can meet number of interesting people here. Peak of all events comes in the beginning of July with the Festival, when whole ranch turns in one big pot of joy, dance, cooperation and thematic workshops.
To be honest, our visitors always leave in a better shape and higher vibrations than they came with :)
Help
During the season, we look for passionate gardeners to help on the field and the garden and mostly to take care of more than 1200 trees planted here.
We have also woodworking workshop and do all kind of things imaginable out of wood, from tiny cutlery to big constructions.
