Descrição
Namaste!
We are an inspiration centre and a farmstay, started in April 2021. We create a place where internationals and locals venture ways for simple, creative, sustainable and abundant life. We have a longterm vision to support the local community - providing work/learn spaces with exchange, growth, skills and joy. We believe a world full of abundance and co-creation is possible, for everyone. Think of programs like: organic farming, homestay running, education programs for youth, waste management, women empowerment through bakery/tailoring, and a centre for yoga/music/art.
We are located amidst the Himalayan foothills (1700m), a 5 hours scenic drive from Rishikesh in a mountain town called Pauri. On a clear day, layers of mountains and The Himalayas greet us from our garden. Karan (India) and Lieke (Netherlands) are the founders of this project. So far we have done crowdfunding, tuitions for children, hosted 40+ volunteers, organic farming, and completed much renovation work. Our tailoring and bakery projects are in the baby phase :). In Pauri there aren't many tourist facilities nor NGO's of this holistic kind, so it's special to start here. We aim to move forward in: permaculture, builds for our education & yoga, expanding women projects & education, and MUCH MORE. Because life’s ever expanding. And we are so excited to share with magical people who feel the same.
To settle restfully into your ways here, we encourage you to stay for (at least) 2 weeks.
Love,
Karan and Lieke

Exchange with culture and community is all around. We have a Nepalese family living nextdoor with whom we collaborate and share the farm. Karan comes from Pauri though he has also lived elsewhere in India. His English is fluent. Lieke comes from The Netherlands. She has lived, travelled and worked in different countries and also her English is fluent.
