The following gallery can be understood like a mood board, a collection of our own images and those of others, that paints a picture of our vision for the farm. Please look at them as inspiration, not as a definitive building and development plan.
We are committed to always identifying the most locally adapted, culturally appropriate, ecologically viable solution that’s within our capacity, taking into consideration a multitude of aspects that will influence the final outcome.
In our Yoga Vana Farm newsletter, we will take you along with us, sharing the progress we are making as well as the difficulties we are facing (sign up below, at the end of the page).
Thank you for being here and reading this right now. We could not have gotten to this point without the many, many people (and beings) who have been involved in this project until now, and your support for us and this vision will carry us through this next stage.
Deep gratitude for your attention, care and willingness to consider contributing to this project in whatever way feels possible, light and joyful for you.
This is our effort towards conscious living in tune with nature - please join us.
