0 km Kitchen

the magic kitchen

The Zero-Kilometer Kitchen is Our Ultimate dream under way !

The importance of the food and the isolation in the small village in the mountains, increases the necessity to grow and prepare our meals locally. The 70 m2 renovated little stone house, is fully equipped with Kitchen facilities for tasteful experiments and re-generative meals! The philosophy in food follows the idea of self-sufficiency and sustainability, seasonality and locality. The menu adapts to what Earth supplies every season. From spring to early winter the garden offers delicious vegetables and fruits, all grown with the main ingredient of love, fertilizer and pesticide free, luscious and fresh! The dishes are inspired by Greek tradition and classic “grandmother” recipes, as well as from different regions of the planet, as different chefs take over the kitchen from Latin America, Asia, Italy and others.

Herbal teas, fresh fruit are always available and if you wish you can also cook for us !

EcoCulture Center

Re-Green is an EcoCulture center and an active Permaculture farm. It is not a Hotel.

The intention of Re-Green is to share the miracles that happened to our lives with other people, like reversing heavy health issues and regenerating our physical and spiritual body, learning how to grow our food, building our own shelters, making our medicines and health care products, creating soil, saving energy and more.

We dreamt of this place to be a place of healing and connection with the Earth and the Spirit. Today it is one of Re-Green’s intrinsic qualities to invite Masters and Elders from different fields and from all over the globe, to learn from their expertise, spending energy wisely and using the wheel of existing wisdom. Courses are also run by the Re-Green circle in the fields of Yoga, Permaculture, Natural building and Herbal medicine. An annual Permaculture Design course is held in Re-Green since 2012 with our teachers Dr Rod Everett and Mill Millichap.

Our intention for our guests is to experience and blend with nature, as the ultimate teacher, mother and healer, is Nature after all. While staying with us the idea of life in a community is introduced, sharing the Housing with participants, residents, returning friends and volunteers and of course animals. We share the spaces, the food, the rooms, the kitchen and become a family. You are invited to be part of the family and participate in the house running tasks like taking care of your dishes, be mindful of where to dispose leftovers and garbage, shutting the lights off, taking care of your fireplace, watching where you step in the garden .

The infrastructure of Re-Green is offered for rent during the year, though such arrangements need to be made well in advance.

The Temazcal

The Temazcal

“A temazcal ([temasˈkal]) is a type of sweat lodge which originated with pre-Hispanic Indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica. The word temazcal comes from the Nahuatl or Aztec word temāzcalli [temaːsˈkalːi] (“house of heat”), or possibly from the words teme (to bathe) and calli (house).
In ancient Mesoamerica it was used as part of a curative ceremony to purify the body after exertion such as after a battle or a ceremonial ball game. It was also used for healing the sick, improving health, and for women to give birth. It continues to be used today in Indigenous cultures of Mexico and Central America, for spiritual and health reasons, as well as a cleansing of mind, body and spirit.The temazcal is usually a permanent structure, unlike sweat lodges in other regions. It is usually constructed from volcanic rock and cement and is usually a circular dome, although rectangular ones have been found at certain archeological sites.”
The Temazcal or “House of Heat” at Re-Green is a small Round-House built with Earth and Straw, that is being heated by two efficient wood stoves, a Rocket Mass Heater and a Rocket Stove, whilst the Tadelakt interior walls provide a soft & velvet touch. It’s the place where our guests are offered the opportunity to “sweat it out”! Very similar to Native American sweat lodge, it’s a challenge and an opportunity. Having experienced a proper sweat lodge ritual and it’s benefits, we wanted to build one in our land and share this amazing healing practice. You don’t only sweat the toxins out of the body, but it’s a spiritual practice for reflection and introspection. Symbolically we enter the womb of Mother Earth, and come out clean and reborn! Don’t be hesitant if your feet get sandy and muddy. The earth will hold you with love and make this indigenous high technology technique of “sweating it out” really worth trying.
