  Description

  Hi, we're Lingam, Sole and Suami born in 2015.
  We have been living in this wonderful land in Calabria since 2019.
  At the moment I (Lingam) live alone on the land in a wooden house and I take care of the garden to grow my own vegetables.
  
  This place is a 3.5 hectares land, 300 meters altitude, with a great sea view on the tirrenic coast, olive trees, fruit trees, water springs and two old buildings to be restored.
  Immediately we thought to share this place with other people carrying on a life project about growing together in awareness and self-sufficiency.
  We also projected to repopulate the historical center in order to create a spread community.
  
  We cleaned and reactivated 2 springs with water storage so that we can water gardens and trees.
  The flat and weakly sloped areas have been cleaned from blackberry bush and other vegetation, but there are areas that still need to be cleaned.
  In the last 5 years we have built a common kitchen with clay and straw, a composting toilet, a shower with chestnut poles and a basic washing place for clothes.
  To make all these projects real I need support from pioneers interested in the project.
  
  I cook in a very simple way, trying to use natural and garden resources and buy as little as possible.
  I follow a vegetarian diet and I prefer not to use drugs.
  I usually follow natural rhythms, meaning that I go to sleep quite early after sunset and wake up around sunrise.
  Communication is very important to make a community work.
  The tools we use in order to grow as individuals and as a group are talking circles (in particular emotional ones) and non-violent communication.
  
  Green building, small dimensions and landscape integration are the principles for buildings.
  
  I live 5 km away from the village of Verbicaro on a secondary road 2,5 km away from the main one where you can get a ride or a bus, 20 km from Scalea and Diamante.
  
  If you want to help me and live surrounded and lead by nature, contact me!

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are quite experienced in wild life, natural gardening, green building with wood and cob, harvesting and cooking wild herbs, transformation and conservations of fruit and vegetables from the garden, producing herbal oil and cream, natural soap and toothpaste.
  During winter we also produce homemade chocolate.
  We grew up our child with a high-contact approach that we like to share.
  Lingam studied organic farming and is interested in permaculture, natural gardening and green building.

  Aide

  People skilled in building with natural and up-cycled materials, permacultural landscape design, natural gardening, water facilities are welcome.
  
  Main activities are gardening and building.
  Weeding and watering the gardens will always be a simple but necessary occupation.
  Grass management is needed especially in spring and autumn.
  To prevent blackberries to grow again you could cut them and dig their surface roots.
  During cold seasons I will also make new pathways and dig drainage channels to prevent water flooding.
  
  Workawayers can help making the place more comfortable and welcoming for new volunteers.
  
  Help cooking and cleaning the kitchen and other common spaces is welcome.
  When there is a surplus of production from the garden or from the fruit trees (especially plums in july, pears in july-august and figs in august-september) we need help for transformation and conservation.

  Hébergement

  We have a caravan (3 places) to host volunteers.
  News: with a little contribution you can have the comfortable and romantic experience of being hosted in the yurt!
  We can host people and families in their own campers, caravans or tents, very adaptable to situations with few comforts.
  The tent accommodation is really basic, something like a rainbow gathering or an "into the wild" camping. There are some flat areas or some more private but slightly sloped areas where you can set your tent.
  Please bring your own sleeping bag, towel, working clothes, shoes/sandals, torch and power bank.
  If you can't travel with sleeping bag we can provide it.
  Since we don't have water depuration don't bring any soap, shampoo, toothpaste: we only use our homemade natural soap and toothpaste, and don't bring any unnecessary things, especially plastic.
  Please, be responsible for all your stuff and don't leave anything in the place, especially garbage.
  We bring drinkable water from the village (5 km).
  We have a very small solar panel for charging smartphones once a day.
  You really need to be a pioneer.
  
  We cook in a very simple way, trying to use natural and garden resources and buy as little as possible.
  We follow a vegetarian diet and we prefer not to use drugs.
  We share lunch and very often dinner toghether but we prefer to have breakfast separately, providing food that you can cook.
  We provide a very basic breakfast, if you have particular needs, buy your favourite food before arriving in This place.
  Shops are not very close from here!
  We would like to host people in line or respectful with our values.

  Autres infos...

  We are close to Pollino mountains Park (10 km) and to tirrenic coast (15 km).
  There is also a cold river (5-10 km) called Abate Marco.
  We have a little car, but we use it as little as possible, only for important missions, so we can't give you a ride anywhere.
  There are few buses a day during the week, but on Sundays there are no buses.
  Hitchhiking works quite well, after you walk 2 km to the main road.

  Espace pour garer des vans

  We don't have any typical campervan facility, such as electricity plug or chemical toilet dump. Campervans can be parked at the side of the secondary road. The road is quite broken, but we travel weekly with our car and it's been "tested" by many campers.
