ALL ABOUT US
A meeting ground for people with different backgrounds, to exchange ideas, learn from and collaborate with each other.By the river Dev, surrounded by the jungle and paddy fields, just outside the village of Nandora, we live with our dog Kiki, our cat MoMo, her two kittens and our many chicken.All of us who live here contribute towards groceries and other necessities as well as the daily chores of cooking, cleaning and fetching water.The rest of our time, we spend as we each sees fit, directed towards pursuing our interests of building using natural materials, gardening, foraging, exploring the jungle, experimenting with fermentation, writing, drawing, day dreaming, crocheting, bird watching, talking, thinking, tinkering, whatever.
STAY WITH US
A place for the curious - some space to think, to learn, to tinker and to simply be. Anyone wishing to visit us and to stay with us for a while is very welcome.In your time here, you may participate in the projects going on around the land; some building work, gardening, fermenting and preserving food or whatever is going on at the time - or you may focus on a personal project - whatever that may be - or you may spend your time getting to know the village and the villagers or exploring the jungle around us.You would be expected to contribute to the daily chores of cooking, cleaning and fetching water, as well as to contribute to the gullak (piggy bank) that funds our groceries and other necessities such as fuel.
ACCOMODATION
You can stay in the mud house or in the tents that we have. You may bring your own, to pitch anywhere you'd like. You could put up a mosquito net and sleep in one of our tree houses or we could also build a little space together, just for you, if that's what you'd like to do.Important to note that as of now, we don't have a toilet, we take a little shovel and a mug of water and find a well hidden spot out in nature.
We bathe in the river.
We also don't have electricity and charge our electronic devices in a neighbor's house, in the village, about a kilometer away.
