Umbrella
One of the strongest connections is when there is spiritual alignment.
​
Gnosticism teaches that within each person lies a divine spark, obscured by the material world, and that through inner knowledge and direct experience of the sacred, we can awaken to our true, eternal nature.
​
Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice centered on connecting with the spirit world and the forces of nature to heal, seek guidance, and restore balance between people, nature, and the unseen realms.
​​
Individuation is the lifelong process of becoming whole by integrating the conscious and unconscious parts of the self, ultimately discovering one’s true, authentic nature.
​​
We believe that the above are complementary and the closer we come to our authentic selves, the more we experience 'God'.
​
We will always stay open for new insights thus our spirtual vision is not 'fixed'. We live by the credo "The highest truth"
Spirituality
We believe true happiness isn’t found in material things, but in meaningful connection — to nature, to each other, and to the land we call home.
​
That’s why we build with the principle: “Leave the place better than we found it.”
By using local, natural materials like clay, straw, and reclaimed wood, we minimize our footprint and honor the resources around us.
Our goal is not only to develop simple, affordable, and beautiful natural homes, but to explore turning this into a community-based business — creating sustainable livelihoods while restoring the land.
Housing
The Farm: The Heart of the Village
One of the most vital parts of our village is the farm. While the village is our ‘mothership,’ the farm is so essential to our way of life that it deserves its own space.
For us, a farm isn’t some distant place that produces food and sends it our way — it’s the land we live on, care for, and eat from. We believe the future lies in living immersed in our food systems, where the farm ends where your doorstep begins.
​
Farm
To sustain our lives in the village and on the farm, we dedicate part of our energy to running businesses together and supporting each other with complementary skills. Our community values collaboration, where one person’s strengths can fill the gaps of another, creating a network of mutual support and opportunity.
​
We aim for alignment and overlap between our initiatives to reduce overhead, share resources, and build resilient, interconnected livelihoods. ​By working together, we create an ecosystem of enterprises that nourish our community and support our collective vision of a thriving, balanced life in harmony with nature.
​
Realisticly we can only slowly implement this model as it grows with the business

The manifest
​
We have a constitution, a document that every member has to sign before be able to become a member. This ensures that we all have the same starting point and it makes us all accountable. One of the values that we uphold.
