    It's great that you're taking the time for my life vision, which I'd like to share with you. Because together we're creating something unique. Many years ago, I had the desire to transform a piece of land in Aria Penemacor into a small paradise. At the center, a meeting place with a kitchen, creative space, and a wellness oasis to cultivate the company of nice people. In the inner circle, space for plants, trees, and gardens where everything that keeps us healthy grows. In the outer circle, to create a variety of living spaces in the middle of nature where people live together!

    After 20 years, I'm back and cordially invite you to exchange ideas and learn from each other, thereby creating a beautiful, harmonious living space.

    I'm Gopi, close to nature, creative, and love freedom. I enjoy music, art, and pleasant company. I understand and can do quite a lot myself; what I can't do, maybe you can, and we can learn from each other.

    I come from Austria, where, after a long period of nomadic living, I completed a project. We renovated an old house, mostly using materials that others would have thrown away. I gave all these things a second life to do myself and Mother Earth a favor!

    At the same time, a large, beautiful garden was created, providing a habitat for countless plants, insects, and animals.

    There was also enough space for people who wanted to live together in the house, yurt, tipi, and caravan.

    When the chaos of 2020 began, I sold everything and packed up our belongings to realize and complete a project that I had started with a friend in Portugal in 2018.

    We also brought a lot of usable materials and tools in containers, which I had collected over the years to work well with here.

    The property is about 3.5 hectares in size and over the last 7 years we have all together built a beautiful garden, many trees, 3 ponds, 3 renovated stone house ruins, a water reservoir, running water, electricity, an outdoor kitchen, a bathhouse, a sauna, a pool, a workshop and a stable for the animals, some of which still needs to be completed.

    "Good things take time."

    If you are interested, then you are cordially invited to participate with us.

    We need you!

    I'm looking forward to telling you more about my vision if you're here and contributing your ideas to spark new inspiration!

    We would also like to thank to all the volunteers, friends and energetic helpers who made it possible for us, to realize and make this all happened.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    Enjoying simple life on a peaceful, beautiful piece of land, cooking, healthy eating, slow down life, crafting, living out art, learning from each other and we love to have in-depth discussions about awareness and life itself.

    Other topics that are very important to us: throwaway society, healing through nature and common strength, let nature be nature again, garbage health problems, promote free clean energy, radiation sources and much more

    The oasis of encounter would offer space for people who want to change, develop together, and exchange ideas.

    My wish would also be that people decide to live with us longer; that would be enriching. Together we can make a difference, common development of consciousness and self-sustaining life
