MISSION

Our mission is to preserve and transmit ancient artistic, agricultural and cultural knowledge, both locally and internationally. Our projects are educational and contribute to perpetuate endangered customs such as Traditional agricultural practices, Ethnic music and dance, weaving, spiritual ceremonies, natural healing, natural building... We also aim at supporting local farmers, artists, craftsmen, teachers, students and disadvantaged children through our projects, events and workshops, while connecting them with the broader community.

VISION

We fear that Materialism and Globalization will lead to a homogenized culture worldwide. Therefore we hope to protect some of our remaining traditions in order to keep this world rich in diversity.
