Description
Welcome!
We came many years back to this beautiful land, in the southern lap of the Gredos mountains. We wanted to experience what it is to return to the earth and being in contact with Mother Nature. We started with and agroecological project of dried figs and veg garden of permaculture.
The Nature's rhythms with it's elements, the seasons, helped us to reconnect with our inner essence and heal. In this way we dreamt to build up a center for workshops and meditations for more and more people could experience it also.
So we built it with bio construction a house made of straw and clay, and we started having retreats.
The ones living here share meditation practice daily together.
We are looking for help with the permaculture for the fig farm and the bio construction.
La Vera is near to Madrid , and there are many alternative people newcommers with interesting projects. Also this area has a very alive folk culture and it has many rivers all along the south side of the mountain, full of magic river pools.
The farm it’s free from drugs and alcohol,
¡Bienvenidas y bienvenidos!
Vinimos hace unos años a esta hermosa tierra, en la falda sur de la sierra de Gredos, entre las montañas, queríamos experimentar como es el volver a la tierra , y estar en contacto con la Naturaleza. Comenzamos con la producción agroecológica de higos secos y huerto de permacultura.
Los ritmos de la Naturaleza con sus elementos, las estaciones, nos ayudaron a reconectar con nuestra esencia y sanar. Así soñamos levantar un centro de talleres y meditación para que más personas pudieran tener la oportunidad de experimentarlo también.
Así levantamos con bioconstruccion la casa de balas de paja y empezamos a funcionar.
Los que vivimos aquí practicamos meditaciones diariamente juntos.
Buscamos ayuda para mantenimiento, bioconstruccion y permacultura.
La Vera es una zona cercana a Madrid donde hay mucha gente alternativa con proyectos novedosos, y a la vez hay una cultura folclórica muy viva. También es una zona de montaña llena de gargantas con preciosas piscinas naturales.
La finca es una zona libre de drogas y alcohol.
