Getting closer to Nature

Location: Sicilia, Italy

We are Jade (baby), Ain (4), Vittoria (33) & Eckhard (61), and we live in a valley near a spring. Our philosophy is to take more responsibility for Mother Earth, who is suffering. This means that we live a simple, healthy life with less dependence on the capitalistic society and more on nature (eg. respect of natural rhythms, use of solar energy, accepting our limits). We have an organic vegetable garden, collect and use the wild herbs which grow around us, photovoltaic solar panels, a solar shower, solar dryer, tipi as a workshop, outside bathroom and compost toilet. We can host 4 people at a time in summer and 2 in winter. No dogs. German and English spoken.
