Project

Gea Viva is a eco retreat camp and Permaculture small holding, where people can experience true and simple eco living. The site was designed to Permaculture principles. Apart from the 180 olive trees which already existed, we planted around 100 fruit trees, created a Permaculture garden and a range of small eco buildings. Gea Viva is off-grid, water is supplied by a rainwater tank and electricity is produces by solar panels. We host guests who wish to connect with nature and offer courses as well as retreats.

Dupa Gard is an expanding Permaculture project in the Carpathian Mountains. Founded in 2015 by Ioana Joca-Pohl and Andreas Pohl, its aim is to promote local culture and find a regenerative future for this region with its abundant past. It currently consists of two small food forests, a permaculture vegetable garden with greenhouse and a camping place. During the season guests are welcome to stay in one of the glamping tents or tiny houses. Also the autonomouse main house is available to rent for longer periods, to immerse guests completely into a sustainable lifestile.

The Grounded Roots Permaculture Community near Dorfen is a project whose aim is to bring together permaculture and social living in a rural setting. We are currently looking for people who want to get to know the project and hopefully become part of the community.
