I loved my stay volunteering at the project! Antay is very knowledgeable about permaculture, ancestral medicines, and life in general, I learned a lot from him! He truly wants to make the world a better place and he is committed to it. The house is big and bright, and the food Antay prepared was absolutely delicious. I would recommend this space to anyone who wants to learn about permaculture, sustainable living, or ancestral and plant medicines like wachuma & mushrooms.
