  Description

  Hello,
  
  We are Marlene and Petar. Directly upon arriving to this place of great potential we felt the immediate calling to root and start planting. We have been living in nature for many years, studied natural medicine, permaculture, agroecology and practiced in many gardens and communities throughout the years.
  
  
  We are calling for passionate & proactive humans to cocreate and contribute to the project. Those who are not afraid to have dirt on their hands, speak to the forest and can sit in silence, sing and dance to the mystery of life.
  We can host around 2-5 volunteers, so we want to connect and give opportunity to those who ride a similar wave (video call before - to see if we feel comfortable together and things roll well). We have many ideas & dreams (and accept new ones), so there is lots of space to learn and go in unique diverse directions based on skills and wishes of learning.
  
  PS. We live in the middle of nowhere in lush green nature. Please do not expect European city standard lifestyle. It is very simple; humble and connected natural living!
  
  Back story:
  
  In the SW of Peloponnese, near Kyparissia, Greece, Diogenes inherited "the worst land out of all of his siblings" (in the middle of nowhere; which is amazing). So after living many years out in the world in big cities and concrete buildings, he came back home to the trees and animals. He built with natural materials, had many people around and is helping a lot of stray dogs and cats for the last 25 years. He is a very philosophical soul and wishes that we live in harmony with our land, create out of joy and live peacefully (so we got nothing to complain.)
  He is a convinced vegetarian and we share his ideals of conscious comsumption. Alcohol and meat and other synthetic substances are not welcome here!
  
  There are three lands which are close to each other and all carry different projects and ecosystems. People can join any project they like and switch from one to another depending on shared needs. (More is described in help section!)
  
  
  Transport between places:
  Is possible with shared cars or walking.
  
  Aim is for food in season is to be as self-sustainable as possible. (As our foodforest is just starting, we will take some years until full independence. But there is already fruit trees for us to enjoy and gardens growing.)
  We will have flexible meal timings and shared dinner preparation.
