Detalhes
Descrição
We are a young family creating our permaculture homestead and ecovillage in the same time.
We are located in the picturesque Gauja National Park with beautiful nature trails nearby. Therefore our homestead is surrounded by nature and peacefulness. However, two vibrant and cozy cities (valmiera and Cesis) are just 15 kilometers away, giving us the perfect balance of city-country life.
We are offering a one-week stay in May and June for those interested in witnessing the creation of a family homestead (kin's domain) in a settlement of similar homesteads. The week in May will culminate in an event about permaculture, art, and families. The week in June will finish with the Midsummers celebration. It is optional to take part in these events, but might be interesting for Workawayers with special interest in culture exchange.
We stand for family values, permaculture and homesteading.

We can teach the principles of how to design and plan your own homestead. As well as help with first sketches.
We will be happy to discuss the importance of concepts that we are materializing: kin's domains, family values, homestead settlement, fitness, true sustainability etc.
