About the organisation

Our mission is to live the question "How can we create a neighbourhood in relationship with the Land, where nature, community and farming grow together?”


By living this question as individuals and as a community we invite changes, large and small, towards interbeing.


This is our learning ground for the benefit of future generations of all beings, so that we can be part of the global repair of life

 

Our vision: 

  • There’s a neighbourhood taking root, where nature, community and farming are growing together.

  • Where all of us can be on the Land to ask what is possible, face difficult questions, and find what moves us.

  • So we can come together to create a living place that honours all life on earth.

  • Let's meet there.
