Descrição
This is an active permaculture farm and Eco-Culture Educational Seminar Centre. Here you are not going to just help with the tasks but you are going to be immersed in an active running example of a regenerative sustainable model of life. Something very important today is to learn how to support life on this planet and not kill it. You are going to be a part of growing your own food, how to harvest, how to conserve, how to cook, and much much more depending on the season. We have more than ten years of experience in that.
We are active in the fields of Permaculture design, maintenance and monitoring. We focus on education in Permaculture and regenerative practices. We run educational retreats. Our time is spent in the maintenance of our food plant nursery with associated gardens within a sustainable system. We maintain vegetable gardens and fruit areas, gathering of our harvest and preparing and conserving it, the collection and drying of Herbs as well as soil building through composting and various other methods.
The estate is 10000 square meters and is located in the Northern Peloponnese, 750 m above sea level, right next to the wild forest and 30 minutes from the sea by car. A large variety of fruit trees, vegetables and herbs are currently the main food production. Different seminars and workshops are held almost weekly that attract people from Greece as well as from abroad.
This project was initially founded by a young Greek couple, Flery and Christos. Very sadly, Christos passed away very recently (this year in February). The permanent residents of the place (about 7 all year long) are now left with his legacy and want to keep the vision and life of the project alive. Therefore we are in a transitory phase, adapting day by day to the absence of the main leader of this project. The volunteer experience is a key aspect of our lives and we invite you to join us in this phase of our project. As we are going through big changes now we have reduced our volunteer program a lot. As such we are looking for people who don't mind being in a very remote location with not lot of people around apart from ourselves and are willing to be in a team as well as independently.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado
