  Description

  Hello, we are a group of people that bought an old castle to turn it into a conservatory for life and culture. Our project is to build a resilient living place with a botanic garden-forest, seed library, a book library, a workshop (wood, metal, natural dying, potery...), some cultural center (japanese culture center first because some japanese are involved in the project), and a gateaway of a global ecovillage network. We also want to be a part of an international netwok of places than respect life and free circulation of people.
  We moved there in 2021, right now we are 7 peoples living there (4 adults and 3 kids) and our objectif for this year is to settle, growing our own food, building a green house, cleaning around buildings, organizing some cultural event...
