In-depth Course with Nara, the author of the best-seller "Human: Instructions for use". You will arrive with one story about yourself and leave with another.

This adventure connects you to your human essence, aligning you with nature inside and around you. You will explore parts of yourself you never knew existed: within your body, mind, emotions and spirit.

This journey with your genuine self and fellow travellers will be catalysed by living in a close community and immersing ourselves in the luxurious simplicity of nature. We will be using "Hero’s Journey" tools to support personal development as a part of the wider world

For years we've been learning about Forest Gardens but reading, watching videos, visiting places and even planting some bushes is not quite like creating a forest garden for real. So we decided to do a short intense course with Rakesh, tailoring it to practical, hands-on learning and an advanced level for those who already feel inspired about Forest Gardens and now want to make them happen. We don't bath in theory – except for regular dips into understanding specifics – we do real pilot elements of forest garden and work on real designs. In Rakesh' best tradition, we invite to learn how to make it simple, easy and affordable.

We hosted 16-days PDC in our first year on this land. We managed to make this course more affordable than many other PDCs, which went well with the camping in our forest and simple outdoor facilities.

We hosted Samhain community gathering in our home for 15 people. Watching the nature cycle coming to the end, welcoming the darker time of the year – the season of composting, release of seeds and arrival of quietness, and coming with them introspection and shedding off what did not serve this year. 

There was space for seasonal simple life: peeling chestnuts, leaching and grinding acrons, gathering mushrooms, planting berry bushes, baking and cooking in abundance... but more than that somatic, inter- and intra-personal exercises to connect to nature and oneself, remembering and honouring ancestors, hikes and forest, music and silence.

A memorable 4-days gathering around the Solstice, with a dozen of people as a stable group, and another dozen coming for different parts of the program.
We sensed into the cycle of a year and the qualities accompanying different seasons – particularly, in this time of the Sun's apogee, at so-called "masculine" side of the life force – goal-oriented action, persistant, upward and outward force. We greeted examples of that force in nature, humans of all genders, ourselves and our structures. Given how this force is distorted in the modern society, we see how much the healthy masculine qualities are needed in the face of possible socio-economic collapse(s).
