  Description

  We are a non-profit-making project in the process of creating a land-based venue for communal life in northern Tuscany. We have around an acre of land next to 50 miles of oak forested mountains behind us. We invite you to join us in manifesting this and becoming one of those who may choose from time to time to be part of this community we are creating.
  
  We are Robin and Slawa, we spend a little under half of our time in the UK, looking after Robin's highly disabled daughter, and the rest of the time here. We are a married couple, very much committed to creating as rich and nourishing an environment for ourselves and for any friends who may wish to join us as and when they choose.
  
  Robin is 73, English, a truck-driver from time to time, and a politician as well as his daughter's carer when in England. Slawa is 49, Polish, trained as an architect, and currently undertaking a wide range of personal growth work, including dance and the exploration of peak states. She gardens, is a buddhist, and very much aware of aesthetics.
  
  We both travel when we can, recently to visit friends in and to explore Colombia. The outhouse we are building is modelled on a Colombian farmhouse. We are looking for people to join us from time to time and also for people who may wish to be more permanent residents here.

  We have a one bedroom cottage, we are building an outhouse for further accomodation and we will create more - in domes, teepees, and other low-impact dwellings. We plan to become as self-sufficient as possible. We wish to invite people to come and host their workshops here - art, therapy, dance, yoga, Tai Chi, energy workshops, healthy eating etc ...

  Autres infos...

  We are 5 miles from Bagni di Lucca, a simple and pleasant town, a bus-ride away. There is a theatre there and restaurants and bars. From there a bus and/or a train takes you to Lucca, a wonderfully beautiful walled town with every cultural need catered to. Pisa is then a further 45 minutes on the train. Around us here is exquisite walking country. Cycling is also popular. In winter, Abetone, an hour away, is a ski resort. The sea and a beach is an hour and a quarter away. Florence is two hours away, three by bus and train.

  We have the internet, although it's not super brilliant as it's sent from a mobile mast across the mountains and is somewhat weather dependent. We use it and can live with it.
