Welcome to our 74-hectare ecological regenerative farm, a haven for diverse ecosystems. Nestled by a serene lake and surrounded by lush fields, meadows, and forests, our farm is a picturesque sanctuary. We cultivate berries, fruits, and vegetables, produce biochar, implement biological water treatment, harness solar energy, and offer a natural swimming pool. Our innovative agricultural practices include small-scale sheep and chicken farming, natural beekeeping, flower beds, permaculture, and a forest garden. Our Eco Barn, a climate-positive building, houses a farm-to-table kitchen, accommodations for overnight stays, conference facilities, a yoga space, and a sauna. Our heating system employs a unique pyrolysis process, using forest biomass to produce heat and biochar. This method not only warms our buildings but also reduces atmospheric carbon dioxide. Staying with us is directly climate-positive, helping to lower your CO2 footprint.

Testimonials

info

I have taken some meditation courses before and this is by far the best explanation of meditation I have ever had. Thubten led beautiful meditation practices and incredibly informational sessions, great retreat!

I went into this retreat knowing the science: how meditation affects the brain, reduces cortisol while releasing oxytocin, and supports the cardiovascular system. I came out realising that meditation is more than a stress reduction tool. It is a way of being, of seeing, of living.
