We have an art and organic farm project that involves the renovation of a stone house, we want to increase our permaculture vegetable garden. we also have a homeschooling project and a long life learning project. Our goals are to improve a sustainable culture and habits taking into considerations all the aspects: social (improve the communication of the group and outwards by non violent communication and empathy) ecological ( minimize our impact in the territory using sustainable materials and protecting the nature) economic ( promoting sustainable production and various forms of exchanges) and a world wide view ( improve connection with General Eco village Networking GEN, and create a networking of exchange of experience ). we are also involved in the creation of art and handicraft, we work with clay,felts, wood, and others materials.

Conditions of hospitality: we ask to the host to organize the permanence for minimum one week ( obviously if there is any kind of problem from the host or from the guest, the two parts are free to stop the collaboration).
