permaculture @ re-green

agriculture/natural building/herbs&medicines/yoga/healing

We really don’t like the potential of limitation when we need to use terminology to describe life changing events. We also try not to be dogmatic. Observation, new realizations, adaptations, re-designing, and of course mistakes are part of the game. Our intention is to be able to learn how to live harmoniously with the Earth and Spirit.

Unfortunately the disconnection of the modern human from nature is such that lets face it! We need a “manual” of how to stir a flowing happy and healthy life as an integral part of Nature. Through the path of Permaculture we get the motivation and inspiration to change our lives.

Coming from the fields of computer engineering and marketing with complete ignorance in this life style not knowing where to begin, we found in Permaculture a good point of start, the first steps leading to an advanced design for the future! Permaculture is the perfect package for modern man to be able to re-construct his life from scratch and the perfect content of education for children of today. It brings in all the components of the ecosystem, all the knowledge, the ancestral and the technological wisdom, the elements of the sun, the wind, the water and the earth, all the practical principles and spiritual ethics, all wrapped up empowering us to make a holistic approach to sustainable and regenerative living.

In 2011 was the turning point in our life when we attended the first ever Permacutlure Design Course (PDC) to be held in Greece. Ever since our life changed miraculously so we decided to honour this process and invite annually our precious teachers back to Greece to offer this invaluable knowledge of a hands on system!

In 2017 we felt we had accomplished the plan of 2011 and we organized our second PDC to design our dreams in Seliana, not only for the next era of Re-Green but also for the Community of Good Neighbours that had emerged meanwhile with new people who decided to make their home around Re-Green.

This process is dynamic and regenerative and the more we surrender to nature the more we understand that Re-Green is becoming an entity of its own, and we believe it will continue to flourish like a balanced ecosystem even after we are gone…

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.
