Help us build a spiritual eco-community at our organic farm in Patlawada, central India

Infos

• 

  Description

  This is a six-acre organic farm in central India, 50 kilometers from Indore. Since 2016, we have been practicing permaculture principles, organic farming, and horticulture, and are now transitioning into a sustainable community or ecovillage model.
  
  As per hindu mythology, Haldev is elder brother of lord Krishna and revered as the Hindu God of Agriculture. “Hal” means plough, “Dev” means god. Inspired by his spirit, we see the farm as a temple—where farming, nature, and spirituality unite.
  
  Through our Volunteer Program, we invite eco-champions from around the world to co-create with us. This is a space to slow down, live with purpose, and experience community life guided by trust, harmony, and love.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  At farm, we would like to hold culture exchange sessions over the weekends which is an open platform for everyone.
  
  To explore around the farm, you can immerse yourself in the local culture:
  
  🌳 Nature & Exploration – Madhya Pradesh, India’s greenest state with the highest forest cover.
  
  🐅 Wildlife Wonders – The state has India’s largest tiger population. Nearest wildlife sanctuary is Kheoni which is totally unexplored.
  
  🍛 Foodie Heaven – Indore, the nearby city, is famous as India’s cleanest city and is a vegetarian paradise. Possibly our surrounding malwa region has the highest density of strictly vegetarian population on the globe.
  
  🪔 Cultural Heritage – Explore Ujjain (ancient city of Avanti), Kawadiya Hills (geometrical stone formations), Bhimbetka (prehistoric caves), and Khajuraho (UNESCO temples). Madhya pradesh state has the highest tribal population in India.
