"Often in the middle of nowhere is where you find yourself"
Remotely located in the Tiras mountain range we founded our Permaculture Project.
We aim to create a better future by learning about alternative (renewable) ways of living.
Besides the satellite internet, we are 100% off grid. We have some of the finest and cleanest drinking water and loads of wildlife and domestic animals, which make the location a good place for anyone that really wants to get in touch with nature.
