Eco-place “off grid” of 8 hectars in a valley of Transylvania, Ermitaj wants to be a place of living and welcoming, in search of well-being, autonomy and resilience.

Our fundamental values are respect and care for the Earth and for people, as well as a process of sharing and solidarity.
The goal of the project is to help individuals and communities to move towards a way of life that respects these values.

For this, we want Ermitaj to be:
- a place of information, demonstration, experimentation, exchanges and training around permaculture, agro-ecology, peasant know-how and eco-building (for example, through the organization of internships, workcamps, events...).
- a place of life for those who desire a way of life in nature, simplicity, solidarity and sharing: by creating a grouped habitat (occupation of existing buildings or creation of new eco-built habitats) in a community spirit.
