  Descrição

  We have a 12 hectare site in Abruzzo, Central Italy on the doorstep of the magnificent Majella Mountain. On the site, we are developing a campsite/events centre of nomadic tents (mainly yurts), renovating an old Italian house, recultivating abandoned orchards and olive fields, growing organic food and...endless projects!
  
  The wider project is working to regenerate and repopulate the abandoned lands around the local village: helping local farmers diversify and grow biological food, maintaining olive fields which have been left, implementing sustainable tourism projects e.g. clearing the old walking paths for hikers, creating green campsites, preserving the ancient buildings of the area, and enabling the old ways of living and agriculture to not disappear.

  Algo mais...

  We are 2 people in the core with other people at various times. Our place is isolated so be ready for silence, nature and being alone sometimes. (If this seems too intense, it can be good to come with a friend!) We live quietly and simply, no alcohol or drugs or non-bio toiletries. No tobacco also, if possible. We expect people to be respectful of this amazing land and each other, and to take responsibility for themselves and their work, as a part of the whole. This is not a place for just doing a job and getting paid with food and accommodation but a project which we are all creating together. If we get along working together, there are possibilities to stay for an extended time.
  
  We are situated in a really beautiful place in the Majella Mountains, at about 400m altitude, and there are endless hiking opportunities in the surrounding area through wild nature and lots of wildlife: deer, foxes, wild boar, badgers, falcons...
  
  From time to time we have a sweat lodge ceremony which we prepare and go through as a group.
  
  There are buses from the local village, Torricella Peligna, 2km away, from Lanciano and Pescara. The local area has many medieval hilltop villages, museum of Roman excavations with a complete amphitheatre, many churches and ancient springs and the beach is only 20 minutes.
