Eco-projects at our little paradise in Villa de Arico, Tenerife, Spain

  Description

  Hello everyone! We are a "family of souls" living on a farm in Tenerife. I’m Bina (Facilitator), there's Fabrizio, a builder, Sara, a teenager who comes and goes from Italy, and then there are Maya, Prospero de Luz, and Syry – three magnificent cats who bring life to our home. We are also accompanied by 11 hens and 1 rooster, and we lovingly care for our beloved plants and vegetable gardens.
  
  We live in a village called Villa de Arico.
  We have a project to create an eco-sustainable agri-structure that aligns with our natural way of living. Tenerife is overwhelmed by tourism, and we like to think that the people who come here do so not just to sunbathe and go to the beach, but also to leave a meaningful mark.
  
  To try to truly live this island, in all its dimensions, with respect and love.

  ¡Hola a todos!
  Somos una "familia de almas" que vive en una granja en Tenerife.
  Yo soy Bina (facilitadora de baños de bosque), está Fabrizio, albañil, Sara, una adolescente que va y viene de Italia, y luego están Maya, Próspero de Luz y Syry, tres magníficos gatos que dan vida a nuestro hogar.
  
  Nos hacen compañía 11 gallinas y 1 gallo, y también tenemos nuestras queridas plantas y huertos que cultivamos con mucho amor.
  
  Vivimos en un pueblo llamado Villa de Arico.
  Tenemos el proyecto de crear una agroestructura eco-sostenible, que esté en armonía con nuestra forma natural de vivir.
  
  Tenerife está bombardeada por el turismo, y nos gusta pensar que las personas que vienen aquí lo hacen no solo para tomar el sol o ir al mar, sino también para dejar una huella.
  Para intentar vivir esta isla en 360°, con respeto y amor.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You’ll experience daily life in a rural part of Tenerife, immersed in the rhythms of nature, local traditions, and simple living. As our purpose and proect of life is creating a connection between this wonderful world and people who come to visit it, or come to live here.
  We also offer the chance to connect more deeply through nature-based practices, like forest bathing (shinrin-yoku), or chamanism and spiritual gatherings that nourish the soul and bring people together beyond language or nationality.
