Would you like to fully immerse yourself in the Natural Life of Terramore?
In April and May, we open a space to live in this place, take part in daily life, and cultivate a deep relationship with the Earth
This opportunity offers a full immersion in permaculture and natural living, with the chance to learn and practice hands-on techniques over a period of 1 to 6 weeks
Sharing to Grow
Regenerative Agriculture: a sustainable solution to environmental and social challenges
Permaculture is based on careful observation of natural processes, integration with the rhythms of nature, and minimal human intervention to promote sustainable management of eco-systemic resources.
This hands-on field experience offers a unique opportunity to learn the techniques of natural and regenerative agriculture, creating a self-sufficient agricultural system in harmony with the environment, without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or intensive soil tilling.
This Regenerative Living Experience encourages collaboration and sharing among participants, fostering team building and community living.
The day will consist of 4-5 hours dedicated to co-creating with Nature, through activities such as regenerative agriculture, food forest creation, eco-building, and self-production.
There will also be moments of sharing, singing circles, and mindfulness practices to encourage mindful presence.
3 H Model
HEART - HEAD - HANDS
HEART (cuore)
It refers to the connection with your inner purpose.
This phase involves opening the heart and listening to your inner guidance, being aware of your emotions and intuitions.
HEAD (testa)
It refers to the cognitive component of learning.
In this phase, the mind is put at the service of the heart.
One opens up to new creative solutions, stepping out of conventional patterns to think through the "natural mind." This way, resilience, observation skills, and problem-solving abilities are developed.
HANDS (mani)
It refers to the practical component of learning. In this phase, you have the opportunity to put your hands at the service of the heart, applying the knowledge acquired to create, build, or experiment with something new. Through practical activities, such as cultivation, food preparation, or building structures, participants can directly experience new knowledge and put into practice what they have learned.
