From 20 April we’re opening our home for volunteers again. We’re already looking forward to meeting new people who feel drawn to a simple life on the land!

Every stay begins with a 5 days introduction to permaculture and sustainable living, where you learn the basics while experiencing them in daily life.

After that, the days flow with connecting to nature, enjoying delicious home-grown food, caring for animals, and helping to make this place more and more beautiful together.

If this sounds like your kind of adventure, you’re warmly welcome to join us!

That Barbara is pulling a Barbara!!! She is doing ther thing in her own garden and in all her designs. Permaculture is not only about plants and food. It is a much more influential system. There are many places in the world where it has lead to reversal of climate effects. Look up - greening the desert - or the name - John D Liu and be infatuated. There are those that have had the privelege of having circled the earth in a space vehicle. Some of them come back with the profound realization that earth is a vulnerable natural habitat. Our home. It is a shining pearl in a vast and wonderful universe. And we have the tools to make or break it. It is not an economical place. It is a live habitat. A miracle flying through space at 33km/sec. And not a teacup trembles in the cupboard.

Facilitating an introduction to .
Where years ago we had to do our best to inspire people to think differently about nature and Life, the questions are now more about the "how". How to make it sustainable or even regenerative.

The life of Leonardo da Vinci. The original house where he was born is still there. I am reading Fritjov Capra's book 'The Science of Leonardo'. What strikes me is his inquisitiveness and drive. The broadness of his interests. And aboe all, his view on nature. That everything is vibrating with a life force. And everything comes and goes.
Everything stays. Everything passes. Everything keeps passing. A sentence I remember of a famous word artist from Rotterdam, Jules Deelder. This coming and going of things is natural. However, some places take a long time to go.
In some areas there is this honouring of what is honourable. Leonardo's view on nature. Very inspiring in deed. We need to look into how everything is connected. And that there are no separated things that escape this dynamic nature. Where all is conncected.

I just finished writing up my 8th permaculture Diploma design about our . 🥳
It made me think about how everything is interdependent in nature, and how I need to carefully find the words for our wish for . Because it is not that we want to (or think that we can) be independent. We just don't want to depend on systems that pollute our health and the planet's health.
We want to be more resilient and live more sustainable, preferably in community, preferably in a way that would be approved in the coming 7 (or 8) generations.

Interested in permaculture design for your life and projects? Next week an online course starts in which you will be guided by Looby Macnamara Permaculture and Jon Young: Community, Mentoring & Nature Connection to design any aspect of your life that needs more attention.

This is a great opportunity to bring (more) permaculture into your life!
It is also a good start for people who want to move further on their permaculture Diploma journey.

If you prefer to do the course In Real Life on a permaculture farm in Croatia with like-minded people: I facilitate a similar course here at Bogata Suma from 19-23 August.
